Angola (Continued from page 1 col. 6) America," Santos recalled. “Neverthe less, we never received help from the government of the U.S. On the contrary, the U.S. gave help in various aspects to the government of Portugal and their colonialism." Had the United States capitalized on this opportunity about thirteen years ago. it would have not only been on the side fighting against forces backed by South African racists, but would have been on the side of the apparent winner in the Angolan conflict. Russia began supporting the MPLA about ten years ago in the MPLA’s fight against Portuguese rule. Santos said the United States got another chance to support the MPLA when a Liberation Committee of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) "sent missions around the world" to win "financial and moral support" for freedom in Angola. The United States was among the countries visited, Santos said. In response to another NNPA ques tion. Santos said he saw the deadlock vote on Angola at the recent Organize tion of African Unity summit as a “positive" result. “We consider the result...positive for us because for the first time in the history of OAU, we could see a clarification of forces - those for liberation and those against liberation in Africa," he said. At that meeting in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. African leaders representing 46 countries were evenly divided over whether to support the MPLA in the war or to call for a coalition of the three warring factions. Santos conceded that the split summit vote didn't represent African unity -- which he called “the most important item for OAU" - but he predicted that those 23 countries which voted for support of the MPLA at the summit "will be followed in the future by other countries." Santos said there is a relationship between the Black American's fight for racial justice in the United States and the MPLA'* war against racism and im perialism in Angola. He further said that the MPLA is sympathetic with the American liberation struggle and extend* a hand to Black American* in a gesture of "solidarity" against oppression. "We have Black, white, mulatto ...and we believe all people are the same," said Santos, citing his government’» stand for racial equality. “We do not believe anyone is less intelligent or more superior to another because of racial reasons."
