African Peace Plan Reported

Angolan, Cuban and South African delegations at Geneva peace talks said today they have agreed on a sequence of steps to achieve peace in southwestern Africa.

A short joint statement distributed after the talks ended said negotiations were “detailed, positive and productive” but gave no details of the agreements. It said a statement summarizing the negotiations would be issued in Luanda, Havana, Pretoria and Washington on Monday. The four parties are trying to hammer out agreement on the withdrawal of an estimated 50,000 Cuban troops from Angola and independence for Namibia, ruled by South Africa.
