Angola
- We are within an inch of a three-party
agreement to form a coalition government.
- A Marxist group broke away, began receiving
Soviet weapons and 50 Cubans joined up with them.
- The other two groups formed an alliance and
sought help.
- By the fall, 11,000 Cuban troops, supported by
Soviet military assistance of over $150 million,
came into Angola.
Cuban troop strength shot up to
30,000; the Soviet military assistance grew from
64 million in 1976 to 143 million in 1978 and
now there are 561 million there.
- This is what we expect in Nicaragua.
