The low-key Peruvian Secretary-General convinced the South African government that he was not biased in favor of the South-West Africa People's Organization of Namibia (SWAPO), the guerrilla group that has been fighting for Namibian independence...
...Perez de Cuellar s visit to Angola later in the week was also mildly encouraging. Angolan President Jose Eduardo Dos Santos told the Secretary-General that a Cuban troop withdrawal might be possible under certain conditions. Among his demands: that South Africa halt its military support for guerrillas of the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA) and agree to Namibian independence...
