Until now, the Carter Administration has reacted to the Soviet-Cuban challenge in Africa with considerable restraint. But the latest invasion of Zaïre and the resulting massacre at Kolwezi appear to have changed that. Late last week U.S. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance met Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko in New York City and delivered what was said to be his toughest private lecture to date on the Soviet role in Africa.
