NAMIBIA-ZAMBIA: Clampdown on SWAPO
25X1
25X1
President
aun a recently ordered guerrilla forces of the South-
West Africa People's Organization based in Zambia to
suspend cross-border operations against South African
troops in Namibia while UN Secretary General Waldheim
is attempting to complete arrangements for a UN transi-
tional assistance group in Namibia.
am is a followed a policy ot allowing 6WAPO t57-
conduct cross-border raids until Waldheim completes
truce arrangements that are acceptable to the African
bloc at the UN. Kaunda's new position may aid Martti
Ahtisaari, Waldheim's special representative for Namibia,
who is visiting the frontline African states this week
and urging acceptance of UN monitoring of SWAPO forces
in Angola and Zambia. Last year Kaunda rebuffed a West-
ern proposal to station UN military monitors in Zambia,
but he may be swayed by the latest breach of SWAPO's
pledge to coordinate guerrilla operations with Zambian
authorities and the apparent failure of the local Zam-
bian military commander to detect the large guerrilla
influx. F_ 1

Iran
Ayatollah Khomeini, according to press accounts,
lashed out at foreigners in Iran upon his arrival in
25X1
25X1
Tehran, saying he begs "to cut the hands" of foreign ad-
visers and helpers, who "rule our army."
A Khomeini spokesman said Prime
minister Bat i.ar should step down today and hand over
power." Another aide told newsmen Khomeini would form a
provisional government for the "Islamic Republic" within 25X1
two or three days. Khomeini reportedly promised to ad-
dress his followers later today at Tehran University be-
fore visiting the cemetery near the capital.
USSR-China
The US Embassy in Moscow reports that the USSR has
reiterated its concern over Vice Premier Deng Xiaoping's
(Teng Hsiao-p'ing) US visit and the warming in Sino-US
relations. A TV "talk" show of 27 January--featuring
the Central Committee's information chief L. M. Zamyatin--
and an authoritative Izvestiya article of 29 January em-
phasize that the West is deliberately channeling "PRC
expansionism" against the "socialist community." The
West's acceptance of Chinese overtures is seen as out-
right anti-Soviet plotting to serve Western strategic
interests. The US' move to promote Chinese development
is described an naive because a stronger China would
pose dangers to the West, as well as the USSR.

Japan-USSR
The US Embassy in Tokyo, reporting on Japanese press
coverage of the Soviet buildup in the disputed northern
islands, was told by the chairman of the Joint Staff
Council of the Japanese Defense Agency that he was the
source of the press stories. General Takashina acknowl-
edged to the Embassy that the opening of the debate in
the Diet on the budget provided an appropriate oppor-
tunity to inform the country of the state of affairs in
the Northern Territories. The Embassy believes
Takashina's disclosure was designed to ease Diet con-
sideration of the defense budget. In the Embassy's view,
the extensive press play given the Soviet buildup il-
lustrates how sensitive the Japanese remain to perceived
Soviet challenges.
