AFGHANISTAN SITUATION REPORT I 25X1
KONDUZ OPERATIONS ENTER SECOND PHASE
2 25X1
The major Soviet-Afghan combat operations south of
Konduz that appeared to be ending last week have
entered a new phase, while sweep operations near
Herat are concluding.
The Afghan regime is intensifying efforts to
increase military manpower, but its use of press
gangs is likely to be counterproductive.
ENHANCING NAJIBULLAH'S IMAGE I 4
Soviet manipulation of Afghan media to enhance the
public image of Afghan leader Najibullah probably
will not make much difference in increasing
support for the regime.
IN BRIEF 4
DIEGO CORDOVEZ: UN SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVE TO 7
AFGHANISTAN
Ecuadorean Diego Cordovez hopes to use his role as
UN negotiator in the Afghan peace talks to help
become the UN Secretary General in December. He
probably will not succeed either in reaching a
settlement or achieving the too spot in the UN.
