(Page 8) --SECRET- NR Record NR Record Approved for Release: 2019/08/19 C06773320 Approved for Release: 2019/08/19 C06773320 GUINEA - PORTUGUESE GUINEA: President Toure is using his strong influence over the Portuguese Guinea insurgent movement based in his country to steer the movement in more militant directions. Toure, reflecting his own political biEses, is urging the insurgents to tighten security meas- ures and adopt a more radical ideological line. He has counseled the insurgents to devote less at- tention to "international contacts" and more to the situation within Portuguese Guinea and within the movement itself. He is particularly concerned with the division between its mulatto and black elements. Toure also wants closer contact between the Conakry- based leadership and Lighting elements inside Portu- guese Guinea, thus implying that military commanders should have a greater voice in setting policy. Before his assassination, the pragmatic Amilcar Cabral had devoted considerable attention to culti- vating support among non-Communist states in the hope that his planned independent government, when formed, would receive broad foreign political back- ing. This effort had met success, especially in Western Europe. Adoption by the movement's perma- nent leadership of a harsher ideologicai stance or closer ties to its Communist supporters could jeop- ardize those gains. The movement's recently named acting leader, Aristide Pereira, lacps the prestige or forcefulness to counter Toure's 'guidance" either on policy or on selection of a permanent successor to Cabral. 10 Feb 73 Central Intelligence Bulletin -Thmetz-gx., 8 Approved for Release: 2019/08/19 C06773320
