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."
