British young people can also support the struggle for independence in Namibia by hoycatting South African goods and by convincing others to join Namibia Support Groups and the Anti-Apartheid Movement. DAVID IMBILI David Imbili's leading role in NANSO grew from his involvement with the SYL. In 1984 and again in 1986, he took part in the Children of War programme, together with representatives of young people from Palestine, Cambodia, Nicaragua and other countries. He studied for an international baccalaureate in tJales in 1985, then returned to tiamibia to work on the youth tansk at the Council of Churches. GERSON UIRAB Gerson Bisoy Uirab was elected chair of the students representative council at his school in Namibia, and represented the school ot national congresses. Later he was involved in the 1984 NANSO founding conference, and helped set up NANSO branches all over western Namibi. He now works for the SWAPO Youth League (SYL) and plans to start a university curse next year. DAVID SHIKOMBA David Shikomba lost his job with the Department of Water Affairs after holding a meeting about the SYL. Hews arrested after helping to organie the massive SYL rally in Kaotvtur in 1973. Sentenced to six years, Shikomba found himself on Rebhbn Island with SWAPD secretary general Andimba Tolve in Toivo. In 1981 he crossed into Angola to join the People's Liberation Army of Namibia (PLAN) and became a member fthe SYL central committee. SWAPO'S 28 YEARS The founding in 1960 of the South West Africa People's Organisation (SWAPO) of Namibia will be marked on 19 April. by Deborah Ewing There is no date in the calendar to mark the Independence of the country because the universal agreement that South Africa is Ilegally occupying Namibia has never been matched by the political wilc to force the apartheid regime out. As it looks back on 28 years of the liberation struggle, SWAPO can chart many sicesses in mobilising the people of Namibia against an oppressor which seeks to perpetuate colonialins, to use Namibi as a launching pad for war against the Front Line States and to strip the land of its wealth. However, almost as numerous are the failures of the international community to implement the United Natins resolution 435 for independence. Those failures are only partly due to South Africa's obduracy - they are also due to the blatant hypocrisy of western governments: Britain subscribes to the UN independence plan, but continues to plunder Namibian resources, such as uranium, diamonds and gold; West Germany provides military equipment for South Africa to use in Nanibia; France provides Mirage fighters; Italy provides Fiats for military use; Swias banks ll South African coffers with money. The United States is a crase apart. As Jacob Hanni, chief representative of SWAPO in London, points out: 'Everyone at the UN General Assembly in 1973 acepted SWAPO as the sole and authentic representative of the Namibian people, and yet the United States supports our enemy.' The United States has been backing Jonas Savimbi's Unita bandits as if they were an independent force in the Southern African debacle. A far as SWAPO is concerned, 'Unita is part and parcel of the apartheid system'.www.nuance.com South Africa feeds, trains and arms Unita, which has no helicopters or planes but has to be ferried around by the South African Defence Force (SADF). Comrade Hanna condemns the 'conspiracy of silence' that surrounds the illegal occupation. While the world's media rightly expressesPDF outrage at the Create! latest barbaric repression inside South Africa,5 it turnsTrial away from equivalent actions in Namibia. SWAPO is still legal, but if it holds meetings, they are broken up by armed police; the Namibian farmers are still free to work their own land, but when their crops are ready to harvest, the SADF turn up to bum them down. Despite the media silence, Jacob Hanmi and SWAPO have only one message to get to the people of Britain at this time: 'The people of Namibia still believe independence is the responsibility of the international community.' n ANTI-APARTHEID NEWS - APRIL 1988 7 RIGHT WING BACKS THE BANDITS A political offensive against Mozambique and Angola is beiog mounted by right-wing forres with American and South African connections, to counter the broad-based support both countries have gined internationally. A large part of this offensive is directed against antiapartheid and front line solidarity in Britain, and a numberl of institutions and individuals have been identified as its actual or probable agents. Somewhat ironically, in view of its prime mtoister's antagonism towards sanctions, Britain had been targeted because of what is perceived (especially by global 'anticommunist' forces in the US) to be Ms Thatcher's high level of support for 'pro-Soviet' Morasobique. Pressure to alter this is linked to recent efforts to promote the MNR, South Africa's surrogate forces in Mozambique. Attempts have been made to invite its so-called leaders to Britain, in the same way as Unit, the MNR's equivalent in Angola, and its leader Savmbi have been hawked around the workd to buy support or at least recog. nition. Early this year, the self-styled Committee for a Free Britain announced its intention to bring MNR persons to London. by Jan Macoh The extremist end of the Conservative youth and student movement is heavily involved in support for'contra' groups worldwide, and the Conservative Students Foreign Affairs Group has been planning (so far unsuccessfully) an interne tional gathering in London to include Unite and MNR. Last autumn, the Southern African news weekly Southscan reported 'a sudden spate of right-wing groups being set up in London... espousing the MNR'. With funds from the powerful Heritage Foundation, the US- based International Freedom Foundation has established a London office as well as one in South Africa, with the aim of producing propaganda material on Angola and Mozambique. The MNR already has a public presence in Washington, outrageously using the smne name as the official Mozambique Information Office in London. The Heritage Foundation also helps fund the Londonbased Institute for European Defence and Strategic Studies, whose chief, Gerald Frost, wrote in the US press that the Mozambican government had 10,000 detainees and had 'slaughtered an unknown number of Christians in Tete and REGIME EXPLOITS NEEDS The sin Front Line States of Sothern Africa - Angola,.

The press is a main target. Last year articles began appearing in The Times and Telegraph protesting against support for Mozambique. 'British taxpayers need to know', claimed Jilinn Beaker of the Institute for the Study of Conflict, whether aid for Moambique would bring the required 'political dividends' of MNR participation in 'free elections ', a capitalist economy and'pro-Western' votes at the UN. Simultaneously, it was reported by Time Out that Westero Goals (UK), a branch of the US Western Goals Foundation, bad decided to concentrate 'on helping rightwing insurgents in Africa'. Its UK chief, Stuart Northolt, went to Malawi to meet MNR representatives through the agency of South African businessman Duncan Beckman. A number of British MPs have been associated with Western Goals, including Sir Patrick Wall, Neil Hamilton, Nicholas Winterton, Stefan Terezki, Bill Walker (all Conservative) and Martin Smythe (Ulster Unionist). Promoting Unita and MNR is one plank. Another is monitoring and countering the solidarity movement. At the recent study conference organised by the Mozambique Angola Committee, an unauthorised video crew attempted to record the proceedings on the basis of unrerognised accreditation. And a television report from Angola by the Bandung File resulted in a well-organised right-wing protest to Channel 4 through Right to Reply. The exact links between all these events are not yet clear. But, together with the surveillance and blacklisting of AntiApartheid Movement supporters in other areas, they consti. tute an attack on Angola and Mozambique that can only benefit the apartheid regime.
