Western capital of Huambo and
today pushed toward the vital
supply base of Silva Porto in
what could be the final
offensive of the Angolan civil
war.
The loss of Huambo Monday
was the worst defeat by the
pro-Western coalition in nine
months of the war. Military
experts in Lusaka said the
allies could collapse within the
next few days unless they
receive massive supplies of
sophisticated arms.
Officials of the pro-Western
National Union for the Total
Independence of Angola said
the next target of the offensive
was the military headquarters
of Silva Porto, a garrison town
and arms base 100 miles east of
Huambo.
Other targets include Luso,
270 miles east of the capital,
and Lobito, on the Atlantic
coast.
The officials said the attack
ing force already was heading
east along the Benguela rail
road toward Silva Porto.
National Union spokesman
Jorge Sangumba told reporters
in Lusaka his troops may have
to evacuate the town soon and
take to the bushes as guerrillas.

its selfappointed role as ‘spokesman’ of the Palestinian
Arabs.”

aid to countries like the Philippines,” Marcos said in a
speech.
