Foreign Minister Erkin/ says there is now no question of any more Turkish air strikes. We are not sure the Turkish military are as concerned as the minister seems to be. There has been no appreciable reduction in the degree of Turkish readiness. Some naval craft have left Iskenderun, but these are apparently taking part in land, sea, and air maneuvers announced by the Turkish press on the 18th. On the island, no major outbreak of fight- ing seems threatening. Turkish Cypriots are feeling the pinch of the economic blockade, however, and eventually may be forced to break the cease-fire. 2. Congo: The military situation remains precarious, although government forces have had some moderate success recently. A rebel force approaching Bukavu was routed late last week. Government troops are now mop- ping up, and morale in the city has soared. Government troops have also taken Kabalo, a North Katangan rail center west of Albertville. Hopefully, this will add to the already reported panic of the rebels holding the latter city, (Cont 'd) 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A003000040001-9 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A003000040001-9 The rebels, however, are now reported active around Goma. north of Ruksvn on thp Rwanda border. Tutsi refugees from Rwanda are gather- ing near Goma for an attack on their homeland. Their exiled king, now in Kenya, is supposed to arrive in Burundi soon, which will be the signal for the offensive. 50X1 50X1 Tk.t.D A..i _1",-?, Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A003000040001-9 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A003000040001-9 3. North Vietnam - Communist China: There has been relatively little change in the mili- tary situation during the past few days. The Chinese appear to be rebuilding their jet aircraft strength at Kunming. The number of planes there was sharply reduced by transfers to Mengtzu to replace aircraft sent to North Vietnam. 4. India - Southeast Asia: The Indians are takini---ri-57-15-3R-IT-TEETF-heretofore "hands- off" policy in Southeast Asia. 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 resr TI Prneirinmf nmis, _ T"rs Czte.reat Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A003000040001-9 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A003000040001-9 5.

Indonesia-US: We expect there will be more anti-US demonstrations throughout Indo- nesia this week. Last Friday a crowd in Jogjakarta demanded and got local officials to take over our USIS library. Its return in about a week has been promised. There have also been reports of contem- plated actions against Goodyear facilities, although our embassy has government assurances this will not be allowed. Sukarno's speech on 17 August--kicking off the anniversary celebration of Indonesian inde- pendence--contained several anti-US thrusts, which can only encourage Indonesian Communist agitation aimed at the US. The speech aligned Indonesia more explicitly than ever before with such regimes as North Vietnam and North Korea. 8. Laos: Tripartite talks appear set for 24 August in Paris.

The equipment will include locomotives for transporting sugar cane to the mills. 50X1 Haiti - Dominican Republic: Another hand- ful of rebels landed late last week. The government claims to have everything under con- trol, but is obviously worried. (Cont 'd) 50X1 F".?

He thinks the regime cannot stand the strain and expense and predicts it will collapse in the not-too-distant future. Both Haiti And the Dominican Republic have strengthened their forces at the southern end of the border. The Haitians have apparently captured a Dominican on their side of the bor- der and the Dominicans have demanded his return. 12. USSR-Afghanistan: We have for the first time seerie-VITeTje?OT Soviet SAM equipment in Afghanistan. The deal appears to have been arranged in a hurry so the equipment could be displayed on 23 August, Afghan independence day. Except for prestige value, the SAMs will be of little use for quite a while, and the Afghans will continue to depend on AA artillery along with MIG-15s and MIG-17s for air defense. 13. Pakistan - Communist China: The Pakistanis have decided to accept a Chinese Communist loan offer. we suspect the deal will be largely a credit to buy Chinese goods. 50X1 5UA1 PAP' TI NAMP Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A003000040001-9
