...destabilize, and ideally to communize other states. They wage war abroad, either outright or by more covert means, for the same reason that they oppress internal opposition: because it is opposition, and because they are totalitarian. Genuine live-and-let-live peaceful coexistence is as alien to a Marxist-Leninist foreign policy as power sharing is to Marxism-Leninism on the home front. The Sandinistas show no sign of being an exception to this rule...
With a little luck, the sprawling, sparsely populated country that lies just northeast of South Africa on the Indian Ocean should have thrived. It is blessed with rich agricultural lands, large mineral deposits and untapped reserves of natural gas and oil. But the Marxist-oriented government of President Samora Machel, who came to power in 1975 after the departure of the Portuguese, has had little opportunity to exploit these resources.

Three other men, two Americans...

Mozambique, in turn, blames South Africa for supporting terrorist activity against its government. Last week Pretoria announced that no more permits would be issued for Mozambican migrants to work in South Africa, and that permits for the 95,000 Mozambicans employed there would not be renewed when they expired. That could prove a serious blow to Mozambique's poverty-stricken economy; remittances from these workers are an important source of revenue...
