Other African countries, notably Nigeria and Tanzania, are also cool to the proposal. They object to the interventionism of former colonial powers, and they argue that any military force should be tied to the Organization of African Unity. Tanzanian President Julius Nyerere, who has welcomed several of the Carter Administration's previous initiatives on Africa, accused Carter last week of listening to "hysterical voices" in his Government who were exaggerating the current Soviet-Cuban activity on the continent...
...Cuban troops, roughly one-third of his country's regular armed forces, are now stationed on the continent. In addition to the army-size units in Angola (20,000 troops) and Ethiopia (17,000 troops), there are contingents in Mozambique, the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Libya and Tanzania.

The twelve-day odyssey will add some 20,000 miles to the 160,000 that the Secretary has logged since he became the nation's chief diplomat 15 months ago?quite a bit of traveling (to 28 countries) for a man who once vowed to stay close to his office. But the problems that the U.S. now confronts in its relations with Africa, and with the Soviet Union, demand every bit of skill, intelligence, dedication...
