CAMBODIA
Phnom Penh is again making major rice deliveries
to the Vietnamese Communists. )
shipments totaling 2,000 tons were
delivered during December to Communist forces along
the Laotian and South Vietnamese borders.
/ Mainly
because of temporary rice shortages in
Cambodia, Phnom Penh had delayed the full
reactivation of the Communists' food sup-
ply channel. Communist China, however,
subsequently delivered considerable ton-
a es o rice to Cambodia,

NIGERIA
The southeastern part of the Biafran enclave,
roughly one quarter of its total area, has been sev-
ered by federal foroes. The Nigerians also are main-
taining pressure on Biafran units in the northern
portion of the enclave.
So far the Biafrans have managed to prevent
any inroads into territory where their two
main airstrips and major population centers
are located. In the past two weeks the
Biafrans have received large airlifts of
munitions, ?and 'secessionist leader General
Ojukwu still shows no signs of giving up
the fight.
