Under the peace plan, both the South Africans and SWAPO would have to release all their Namibian political prisoners. South Africa has been holding about 400 nationalists in its jails, and some 700 SWAPO dissidents, held by Tanzania and Zambia as a favor to Nujoma, have recently been set free. In both groups, there are men who pose serious threats to the inarticulate and unpredictable Nujoma, 49, who has failed to excite either Western or African leaders. Among them: Andreas Shipanga, a former SWAPO Information Officer released from a Tanzanian prison, who formed the SWAPO Democrats in opposition to Nujoma...
...world. Last week alone, while Keng was flying around the Caribbean, Vice Foreign Minister Han Nien-lung was resuming long-stalled talks with Japanese officials about a peace treaty. Meanwhile Peking dispatched delegations of electrical engineers to the U.S., canoeists to Yugoslavia, educators to Sri Lanka, economists to Zambia, parachutists to Canada, physicians to the Central African Empire. In addition, a team of crack Chinese players left for France to participate in the 22nd European congress of the ancient Chinese game known as Go, a military board game whose objects are territorial conquest and the capture of the opponent...
...success of the Western approach to U.N. Ambassador Andrew Young, who conceived the Namibian strategy early last year.

They are survivors of an invasion force of several thousand Katangese secessionists in exile who massacred 131 Europeans and at least four tunes that many blacks in an abortive effort to liberate their homeland, Zaïre's mineral-rich Shaba region, formerly Katanga province. The invaders were driven into the jungle by French Foreign Legionnaires and Belgian paratroopers, called in by Zaïrian President Mobutu Sese Seko, No. 1 enemy...
...black nationalist guerrillas at St. Rupert's Mission, 90 miles west of Salisbury, bringing the black and white civilian death toll to almost 600 so far this year. The guerrillas have also suffered losses-not all of them in raids and counterattacks by the Rhodesian army. In nearby Zambia, a top lieutenant to Joshua Nkomo, one of the co-leaders of the Patriotic Front, was killed by a land mine last week, the result, said the Zambian government, of a factional rivalry within the Nkomo camp. The victim was Alfred Mangena, 35. His predecessor, Jason Moyo, had been killed...
