They were forced to withdraw in March of this year not, as Carter claims, because of U.S. pressure, but rather because they were incapable of sustaining the fight. The Soviets who have set themselves up as the champions of the black liberation movements are now supporting the Dergue's squelching of the Eritrean independence movement. They are supporting a regime that has moved to wipe out student opposition in the country and that...
