Following the <a href="/wiki/Armistice_of_11_November_1918" title="Armistice of 11 November 1918">Armistice of 11 November 1918</a>, a <a href="/wiki/League_of_Nations_mandate" title="League of Nations mandate">mandate system</a> was imposed by the <a href="/wiki/League_of_Nations" title="League of Nations">League of Nations</a> to govern African and Asian territories held by Germany and the <a href="/wiki/Ottoman_Empire" title="Ottoman Empire">Ottoman Empire</a> prior to the war.<a href="#cite_note-Rajagopal-36">[36]</a> The mandate system was formed as a compromise between those who advocated an Allied annexation of former German and Turkish territories, and another proposition put forward by those who wished to grant them to an international trusteeship until they could govern themselves.<a href="#cite_note-Rajagopal-36">[36]</a> All former German and Turkish territories were classified into three types of mandates – Class "A" mandates, predominantly in the Middle East, Class "B" mandates, which encompassed central Africa, and Class "C" mandates, which were reserved for the most sparsely populated or least developed German colonies: South West Africa, <a href="/wiki/German_New_Guinea" title="German New Guinea">German New Guinea</a>, and the Pacific islands.<a href="#cite_note-Rajagopal-36">[36]</a> Owing to their small size, geographic remoteness, low population density, or physical contiguity to the mandatory itself, Class "C" mandates could be administered as integral provinces of the countries to which they were entrusted. Nevertheless, the bestowal of a mandate by the League of Nations did not confer full sovereignty, only the responsibility of administering it.<a href="#cite_note-Rajagopal-36">[36]</a> In principle, mandating countries were only supposed to hold these former colonies "in trust" for their inhabitants, until they were sufficiently prepared for their own self-determination. Under these terms, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand were granted the German Pacific islands, and the <a href="/wiki/Union_of_South_Africa" title="Union of South Africa">Union of South Africa</a> received South West Africa.<a href="#cite_note-Louis-37">[37]</a> It soon became apparent the South African government had interpreted the mandate as a veiled annexation.<a href="#cite_note-Louis-37">[37]</a> In September 1922, South African Prime Minister <a href="/wiki/Jan_Smuts" title="Jan Smuts">Jan Smuts</a> testified before the League of Nations Mandate Commission that South West Africa was being fully incorporated into the Union and should be regarded, for all practical purposes, as a fifth province of South Africa.<a href="#cite_note-Louis-37">[37]</a> According to Smuts, this constituted "annexation in all but in name".<a href="#cite_note-Louis-37">[37]</a> Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, the League of Nations complained that of all the mandatory powers South Africa was the most delinquent with regards to observing the terms of its mandate.<a href="#cite_note-First-38">[38]</a> The Mandate Commission vetoed a number of ambitious South African policy decisions, such as proposals to nationalise South West African railways or alter the preexisting borders.<a href="#cite_note-First-38">[38]</a> Sharp criticism was also leveled at South Africa's disproportionate spending on the local <a href="/wiki/White_Namibians" title="White Namibians">white population</a>, which the former defended as obligatory since white South West Africans were taxed the heaviest.<a href="#cite_note-First-38">[38]</a> The League adopted the argument that no one segment of any mandate's population was entitled to favourable treatment over another, and the terms under which the mandate had been granted made no provision for special obligation towards whites.<a href="#cite_note-First-38">[38]</a> It pointed out that there was little evidence of progress being made towards political self-determination; just prior to <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a> South Africa and the League remained at an impasse over this dispute.<a href="#cite_note-First-38">[38]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Legality_of_South_West_Africa,_1946–1960">Legality of South West Africa, 1946–1960</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=South_African_Border_War&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Legality of South West Africa, 1946–1960">edit</a>]</div> After World War II, Jan Smuts headed the South African delegation to the <a href="/wiki/United_Nations_Conference_on_International_Organization" title="United Nations Conference on International Organization">United Nations Conference on International Organization</a>. As a result of this conference, the League of Nations was formally superseded by the <a href="/wiki/United_Nations" title="United Nations">United Nations</a> (UN) and former League mandates by a trusteeship system. Article 77 of the <a href="/wiki/United_Nations_Charter" class="mw-redirect" title="United Nations Charter">United Nations Charter</a> stated that UN trusteeship "shall apply...to territories now held under mandate"; furthermore, it would "be a matter of subsequent agreement as to which territories in the foregoing territories will be brought under the trusteeship system and under what terms".<a href="#cite_note-Vandenbosch-39">[39]</a> Smuts was suspicious of the proposed trusteeship, largely because of the vague terminology in Article 77.<a href="#cite_note-First-38">[38]</a> Heaton Nicholls, the South African high commissioner in the <a href="/wiki/United_Kingdom" title="United Kingdom">United Kingdom</a> and a member of the Smuts delegation to the UN, addressed the newly formed UN <a href="/wiki/United_Nations_General_Assembly" title="United Nations General Assembly">General Assembly</a> on 17 January 1946.<a href="#cite_note-Vandenbosch-39">[39]</a> Nicholls stated that the legal uncertainty of South West Africa's situation was retarding development and discouraging foreign investment; however, self-determination for the time being was impossible since the territory was too undeveloped and underpopulated to function as a strong independent state.<a href="#cite_note-Vandenbosch-39">[39]</a> In the second part of the first session of the General Assembly, the floor was handed to Smuts, who declared that the mandate was essentially a part of the South African territory and people.<a href="#cite_note-Vandenbosch-39">[39]</a> Smuts informed the General Assembly that it had already been so thoroughly incorporated with South Africa a UN-sanctioned annexation was no more than a necessary formality.<a href="#cite_note-Vandenbosch-39">[39]</a> The Smuts delegation's request for the termination of the mandate and permission to annex South West Africa was not well received by the General Assembly.<a href="#cite_note-Vandenbosch-39">[39]</a> Five other countries, including three major colonial powers, had agreed to place their mandates under the trusteeship of the UN, at least in principle; South Africa alone refused. Most delegates insisted it was undesirable to endorse the annexation of a mandated territory, especially when all of the others had entered trusteeship.<a href="#cite_note-First-38">[38]</a> Thirty-seven member states voted to block a South African annexation of South West Africa; nine abstained.<a href="#cite_note-First-38">[38]</a> In Pretoria, right-wing politicians reacted with outrage at what they perceived as unwarranted UN interference in the South West Africa affair. The National Party dismissed the UN as unfit to meddle with South Africa's policies or discuss its administration of the mandate.<a href="#cite_note-First-38">[38]</a> One National Party speaker, <a href="/wiki/Eric_Louw" title="Eric Louw">Eric Louw</a>, demanded that South West Africa be annexed unilaterally.<a href="#cite_note-First-38">[38]</a> During the <a href="/wiki/South_African_general_election,_1948" class="mw-redirect" title="South African general election, 1948">South African general election, 1948</a>, the National Party was swept into power, newly appointed Prime Minister <a href="/wiki/Daniel_Malan" class="mw-redirect" title="Daniel Malan">Daniel Malan</a> prepared to adopt a more aggressive stance concerning annexation, and Louw was named ambassador to the UN. During an address in <a href="/wiki/Windhoek" title="Windhoek">Windhoek</a>, Malan reiterated his party's position that South Africa would annex the mandate before surrendering it to an international trusteeship.<a href="#cite_note-First-38">[38]</a> The following year a formal statement was issued to the General Assembly which proclaimed that South Africa had no intention of complying with trusteeship, nor was it obligated to release new information or reports pertaining to its administration.<a href="#cite_note-Crawford1-40">[40]</a> Simultaneously, the South West Africa Affairs Administration Act, 1949, was passed by South African parliament. The new legislation gave white South West Africans parliamentary representation and the same political rights as white South Africans.<a href="#cite_note-Crawford1-40">[40]</a> The UN General Assembly responded by deferring to the <a href="/wiki/International_Court_of_Justice" title="International Court of Justice">International Court of Justice</a> (ICJ), which was to issue an advisory opinion on the international status of South West Africa.<a href="#cite_note-First-38">[38]</a> The ICJ ruled that South West Africa was still being governed as a mandate; hence, South Africa was not legally obligated to surrender it to the UN trusteeship system if it did not recognise the mandate system had lapsed, conversely, however, it was still bound by the provisions of the original mandate.<a href="#cite_note-Crawford1-40">[40]</a> Adherence to the original mandate meant South Africa could not unilaterally modify the international status of South West Africa.<a href="#cite_note-Crawford1-40">[40]</a> Malan and his government rejected the court's opinion as irrelevant.<a href="#cite_note-First-38">[38]</a> The UN formed a Committee on South West Africa, which issued its own independent reports regarding the administration and development of that territory. The Committee's reports became increasingly scathing of South African officials when the National Party imposed its harsh system of racial segregation and stratification—<a href="/wiki/Apartheid" title="Apartheid">apartheid</a>—on South West Africa.<a href="#cite_note-Crawford1-40">[40]</a> In 1958, the UN established a Good Offices Committee which continued to invite South Africa to bring South West Africa under trusteeship.<a href="#cite_note-Crawford1-40">[40]</a> The Good Offices Committee proposed a partition of the mandate, allowing South Africa to annex the southern portion while either granting independence to the north, including the densely populated <a href="/wiki/Ovamboland" title="Ovamboland">Ovamboland</a> region, or administering it as an international trust territory.<a href="#cite_note-First-38">[38]</a> The proposal met with overwhelming opposition in the General Assembly; fifty-six nations voted against it.

Furthermore, the court found that while Ethiopia and Liberia had locus standi to institute proceedings on the matter, neither had enough vested legal interest in South West Africa to entitle them to a judgement of merits.<a href="#cite_note-Adede-52">[52]</a> This ruling was met with great indignation by SWAPO and the OAU.<a href="#cite_note-Caprivi-43">[43]</a> SWAPO officials immediately issued a statement from Dar es Salaam declaring that they now had "no alternative but to rise in arms" and "cross rivers of blood" in their march towards freedom.<a href="#cite_note-Devils-51">[51]</a> Upon receiving the news SWALA escalated its insurgency.<a href="#cite_note-Caprivi-43">[43]</a> Its third group, which had infiltrated Ovamboland in July, attacked white-owned farms, traditional Ovambo leaders perceived as South African agents, and a border post.<a href="#cite_note-Dale-5">[5]</a> The guerrillas set up camp at <a href="/wiki/Omugulugwombashe" title="Omugulugwombashe">Omugulugwombashe</a>, one of five potential bases identified by SWALA's initial reconnaissance team as appropriate sites to train future recruits.<a href="#cite_note-Dale-5">[5]</a> Here, they drilled up to thirty local volunteers between September 1965 and August 1966.<a href="#cite_note-Dale-5">[5]</a> South African intelligence became aware of the camp by mid 1966 and identified its general location.<a href="#cite_note-Devils-51">[51]</a> On 26 August 1966, the first major clash of the conflict took place when South African paratroops and paramilitary police units executed <a href="/wiki/Operation_Blouwildebees" class="mw-redirect" title="Operation Blouwildebees">Operation Blouwildebees</a> to capture or kill the insurgents.<a href="#cite_note-Lord-49">[49]</a> SWALA had dug trenches around Omugulugwombashe for defensive purposes, but was taken by surprise and most of the insurgents quickly overpowered.<a href="#cite_note-Lord-49">[49]</a> SWALA suffered 2 dead, 1 wounded, and 8 captured; the South Africans suffered no casualties.<a href="#cite_note-Lord-49">[49]</a> This engagement is widely regarded in South Africa as the start of the Border War, and according to SWAPO, officially marked the beginning of its revolutionary armed struggle.<a href="#cite_note-Devils-51">[51]</a><a href="#cite_note-Stapleton2-9">[9]</a> Operation Blouwildebees triggered accusations of treachery within SWALA's senior ranks.

Guerrillas began operating in larger groups to increase their chances of surviving encounters with the security forces, and refocused their efforts on infiltrating the civilian population.<a href="#cite_note-Caprivi-43">[43]</a> Disguised as peasants, SWALA cadres could acquaint themselves with the terrain and observe South African patrols without arousing suspicion.<a href="#cite_note-Caprivi-43">[43]</a> This was also a logistical advantage because they could only take what supplies they could carry while in the field; otherwise, the guerrillas remained dependent on sympathetic civilians for food, water, and other necessities.<a href="#cite_note-Caprivi-43">[43]</a> On 29 July 1967, the SADF received intelligence that a large number of SWALA forces were congregated at Sacatxai, a settlement almost a hundred and thirty kilometres north of the border inside Angola.<a href="#cite_note-Lord-49">[49]</a> South African <a

able to escape, and in October 1968 two SWALA units crossed the border into Ovamboland.<a href="#cite_note-Stapleton2-9">[9]</a> This incursion was no more productive than the others and by the end of the year 178 insurgents had been either killed or apprehended by the police.<a href="#cite_note-Stapleton2-9">[9]</a> Throughout the 1950s and much of the 1960s, a limited military service system by lottery was implemented in South Africa to comply with the needs of national defence.<a href="#cite_note-Reflections-53">[53]</a> Around mid 1967 the National Party government established universal <a

From January 1968 onward there would be two yearly intakes of national servicemen undergoing nine months of military training.<a href="#cite_note-Reflections-53">[53]</a> The air strike on Sacatxai also marked a fundamental shift in South African tactics, as the SADF had for the first time indicated a willingness to strike at SWALA on foreign soil.<a href="#cite_note-Lord-49">[49]</a> Although Angola was then an <a href="/wiki/Overseas_province" title="Overseas province">overseas province</a> of Portugal, Lisbon granted the SADF's request to mount punitive campaigns across the border.<a

dismissal of the case presented by Ethiopia and Liberia, the UN declared that South Africa had failed in its obligations to ensure the moral and material well-being of the indigenous inhabitants of South West Africa, and had thus disavowed its own mandate.<a href="#cite_note-Yusuf-54">[54]</a> The UN thereby assumed that the mandate was terminated, which meant South Africa had no further right to administer the territory, and that henceforth South West Africa would come under the direct responsibility of the General Assembly.<a href="#cite_note-Yusuf-54">[54]</a> The post of <a

refused visas to the commissioner or the council.<a href="#cite_note-Yusuf-54">[54]</a> On 12 June 1968, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution which proclaimed that, in accordance with the

mine">mine warfare</a> as an integral strategy of PLAN was discussed at a 1969–70 SWAPO consultative congress held in Tanzania.<a href="#cite_note-MAA-55">[55]</a> PLAN's leadership backed the initiative to deploy land mines as a means of compensating for its inferiority in most conventional aspects to the South African security forces.<a href="#cite_note-Mines1-56">[56]</a> Shortly afterwards, PLAN began acquiring <a href="/wiki/TM-46_mine" title="TM-46 mine">TM-46 mines</a> from the Soviet Union, which were designed for anti-tank purposes, and produced some homemade "box mines" with <a href="/wiki/TNT" title="TNT">TNT</a> for anti-personnel use.<a href="#cite_note-MAA-55">[55]</a> The mines were strategically placed along roads to hamper police convoys or throw them into disarray prior to an ambush; guerrillas also laid others along their infiltration routes on the long border with Angola.<a href="#cite_note-SurviveRide-57">[57]</a> The proliferation of mines in South West Africa initially resulted in heavy police casualties and would become one of the most defining features of PLAN's war effort for the next two decades.<a href="#cite_note-SurviveRide-57">[57]</a> On 2 May 1971 a police van struck a mine, most likely a TM-46, in the Caprivi Strip.<a href="#cite_note-MAA-55">[55]</a><a href="#cite_note-LM-58">[58]</a> The resulting explosion blew a crater in the road about two metres in diameter and sent the vehicle airborne, killing two senior police officers and injuring nine others.<a href="#cite_note-LM-58">[58]</a> This was the first mine-related incident recorded on South West African soil.<a href="#cite_note-LM-58">[58]</a> In October 1971, another police vehicle detonated a mine outside <a href="/wiki/Katima_Mulilo" title="Katima Mulilo">Katima Mulilo</a>, wounding four constables.<a href="#cite_note-LM-58">[58]</a> The following day, a fifth constable was mortally injured when he stepped on a second mine laid directly alongside the first.<a href="#cite_note-LM-58">[58]</a> This reflected a new PLAN tactic of laying anti-personnel mines parallel to their anti-tank mines to kill policemen or soldiers either engaging in preliminary mine detection or inspecting the scene of a previous blast.<a href="#cite_note-Mines1-56">[56]</a> In 1972, South Africa acknowledged that two more policemen had died and another three had been injured as a result of mines.<a href="#cite_note-LM-58">[58]</a> The proliferation of mines in the Caprivi and other rural areas posed a serious concern to the South African government, as they were relatively easy for a PLAN cadre to conceal and plant with minimal chance of detection.<a href="#cite_note-SurviveRide-57">[57]</a> Sweeping the roads for mines with hand held mine detectors was possible, but too slow and tedious to be a practical means of ensuring swift police movement or keeping routes open for civilian use.<a href="#cite_note-SurviveRide-57">[57]</a> The SADF possessed some mine clearance equipment, including flails and ploughs mounted on tanks, but these were not considered practical either.<a href="#cite_note-SurviveRide-57">[57]</a> The sheer distances of road vulnerable to PLAN sappers every day was simply too vast for daily detection and clearance efforts.<a href="#cite_note-SurviveRide-57">[57]</a> For the SADF and the police, the only other viable option was the adoption of armoured personnel carriers with mine-proof hulls that could move quickly on roads with little risk to their passengers even if a mine was encountered.<a href="#cite_note-SurviveRide-57">[57]</a> This would evolve into a new class of military vehicle, the <a href="/wiki/MRAP" title="MRAP">mine resistant and ambush protected vehicle</a> (MRAP).<a href="#cite_note-SurviveRide-57">[57]</a> By the end of 1972, the South African police were carrying out most of their patrols in the Caprivi Strip with mineproofed vehicles.<a

June 1970 calling for all UN member states to close, or refrain from establishing, diplomatic or consular offices in South West Africa.<a href="#cite_note-Question-59">[59]</a> The resolution also recommended disinvestment, boycotts, and voluntary sanctions of that territory as long as it remained under South African rule.<a href="#cite_note-Question-59">[59]</a> In light of these developments, the Security Council sought the advisory opinion of the ICJ on the "legal consequences for states of the continued presence of South Africa in Namibia".<a href="#cite_note-Question-59">[59]</a> There was initial opposition to this course of action from SWAPO and the OAU, because their delegates feared another inconclusive ruling like the one in 1966 would strengthen South Africa's case for annexation.<a href="#cite_note-Katjavivi-60">[60]</a> Nevertheless, the prevailing opinion at the Security Council was that since the composition of judges had been changed since 1966, a ruling in favour of the nationalist movement was more likely.<a href="#cite_note-Katjavivi-60">[60]</a> At the UN's request, SWAPO was permitted to lobby informally at the court and was even offered an observer presence in the courtroom itself.<a href="#cite_note-Katjavivi-60">[60]</a> On 21 June 1971, the ICJ reversed its earlier decision not to rule on the legality of South Africa's mandate, and expressed the opinion that any continued perpetuation of said mandate was illegal.<a href="#cite_note-Question-59">[59]</a> Furthermore, the court found that Pretoria was under obligation to withdraw its administration immediately and that if it failed to do so, UN member states would be compelled to refrain from any political or business dealings which might imply recognition of the South African government's presence there.<a href="#cite_note-Katjavivi-60">[60]</a> On the same day the ICJ's ruling was made public, South African prime minister <a href="/wiki/B._J._Vorster" class="mw-redirect" title="B. J. Vorster">B. J. Vorster</a> rejected it as "politically motivated", with no foundation in fact.<a href="#cite_note-Question-59">[59]</a> However, the decision inspired the bishops of the <a href="/wiki/Evangelical_Lutheran_Church_in_Namibia" title="Evangelical Lutheran Church in Namibia">Evangelical Lutheran Ovambo-Kavango Church</a> to draw up an open letter to Vorster denouncing apartheid and South Africa's continued rule.<a href="#cite_note-Devils-51">[51]</a> This letter was read in every black Lutheran congregation in the territory, and in a number of Catholic and Anglican parishes elsewhere.<a href="#cite_note-Devils-51">[51]</a> The consequence of the letter's contents was increased militancy on the part of the black population, especially among the Ovambo people, who made up the bulk of SWAPO's supporters.<a href="#cite_note-Devils-51">[51]</a> Throughout the year there were mass demonstrations against the South African government held in many Ovamboland schools.<a href="#cite_note-Devils-51">[51]</a> In December 1971, <a href="/wiki/Jan_de_Wet" title="Jan de Wet">Jannie de Wet</a>, Commissioner for the Indigenous Peoples of South West Africa, sparked off a <a href="/wiki/1971%E2%80%9372_Namibian_contract_workers_strike" title="1971–72 Namibian contract workers strike">general strike</a> by 15,000 Ovambo workers in <a href="/wiki/Walvis_Bay" title="Walvis Bay">Walvis Bay</a> when he made a public statement defending the territory's controversial contract labour regulations.<a href="#cite_note-Dreyer-61">[61]</a> The strike quickly spread

title="Grootfontein">Grootfontein</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Oranjemund" title="Oranjemund">Oranjemund</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Dreyer-61">[61]</a> Later in the month, 25,000 Ovambo farm labourers joined what had become a nationwide strike affecting half the total workforce.<a href="#cite_note-Dreyer-61">[61]</a> The South African police responded by arresting some of the striking workers and forcibly deporting the others to Ovamboland.<a href="#cite_note-Devils-51">[51]</a> On 10 January 1972, an ad hoc strike committee led by Johannes Nangutuuala, was formed to negotiate with the South African government; the strikers demanded an end to contract labour, freedom to apply for jobs according to skill and interest and to quit a job if so desired, freedom to have a worker bring his family with him from Ovamboland while taking a job elsewhere, and for equal pay with white workers.<a href="#cite_note-Katjavivi-60">[60]</a> The strike was later brought to an end after the South African government agreed to several concessions which were endorsed by Nangutuuala, including the implementation of uniform working hours and allowing workers to change jobs.<a href="#cite_note-Devils-51">[51]</a> Responsibility for labour recruitment was also transferred to the tribal authorities in Ovamboland.<a href="#cite_note-Devils-51">[51]</a> Thousands of the sacked Ovambo workers remained dissatisfied with these terms and refused to return to work.<a href="#cite_note-Devils-51">[51]</a> They attacked tribal headmen, vandalised stock control posts and government offices, and tore down about a hundred kilometres of fencing along the border, which they claimed obstructed itinerant Ovambos from grazing their cattle freely.<a href="#cite_note-Dreyer-61">[61]</a> The unrest also fueled discontent among <a href="/wiki/Kwanyama_dialect" class="mw-redirect" title="Kwanyama dialect">Kwanyama</a>-speaking Ovambos in Angola, who destroyed cattle vaccination stations and schools and attacked four border posts, killing and injuring some SADF personnel as well as members of a Portuguese militia unit.<a href="#cite_note-Dreyer-61">[61]</a> South Africa responded by declaring a <a href="/wiki/State_of_emergency" title="State of emergency">state of emergency</a> in Ovamboland on 4 February.<a href="#cite_note-Katjavivi-60">[60]</a> A <a href="/wiki/Media_blackout"

indefinitely.<a href="#cite_note-Katjavivi-60">[60]</a> Police reinforcements were sent to the border, and in the ensuing crackdown they arrested 213 Ovambos.<a href="#cite_note-Dreyer-61">[61]</a> South Africa was sufficiently alarmed at the violence to deploy a large SADF contingent as well.<a href="#cite_note-Dreyer-61">[61]</a> They were joined by Portuguese troops who moved south from across the border to assist them.<a href="#cite_note-Katjavivi-60">[60]</a> By the end of March order had been largely restored and most of the remaining strikers returned to work.<a

subsequent unrest.<a href="#cite_note-Katjavivi-60">[60]</a> While acknowledging that a significant percentage of the strikers were SWAPO members and supporters, the party's acting president <a href="/wiki/Nathaniel_Maxuilili" title="Nathaniel Maxuilili">Nathaniel Maxuilili</a> noted that reform of South West African labour laws had been a longstanding aspiration of the Ovambo workforce, and suggested the strike had been organised shortly after the crucial ICJ ruling because they hoped to take advantage of its publicity to draw greater attention to their grievances.<a href="#cite_note-Katjavivi-60">[60]</a> The strike also had a politicising effect on much of the Ovambo population, as the workers involved later turned to wider political activity and joined SWAPO.<a href="#cite_note-Katjavivi-60">[60]</a> Around 20,000 strikers did not return to work but fled to other countries, mostly Zambia, where some were recruited as guerrillas by <a href="/wiki/People%27s_Liberation_Army_of_Namibia" title="People's Liberation Army of Namibia">PLAN</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Devils-51">[51]</a> Support for PLAN also increased among the rural Ovamboland peasantry, who were for the most part sympathetic with the strikers and resentful of their traditional chiefs' active collaboration with the police.<a href="#cite_note-Dreyer-61">[61]</a> The following year, South Africa transferred self-governing authority to Chief <a href="/wiki/Fillemon_Elifas_Shuumbwa" title="Fillemon Elifas Shuumbwa">Fillemon Elifas Shuumbwa</a> and the Ovambo

1973.<a href="#cite_note-LM-58">[58]</a> Insurgent activity took the form of ambushes and selective target attacks, particularly in the Caprivi near the Zambian border.<a href="#cite_note-Els-62">[62]</a> On the evening of 26 January 1973 a heavily armed group of about 50 PLAN insurgents attacked a police base at Singalamwe, Caprivi with mortars, machine guns, and a single tube, man portable rocket launcher.<a href="#cite_note-MAA-55">[55]</a><a href="#cite_note-SAP1-63">[63]</a> The police were ill-equipped to repel the attack and the base soon caught fire due to the initial rocket bombardment, which incapacitated both the senior officer and his second in command.<a href="#cite_note-SAP1-63">[63]</a> This marked the beginning of a new phase of the South African Border War in which the scope and intensity of PLAN raids were greatly increased.<a href="#cite_note-Lord-49">[49]</a> By the end of 1973, PLAN's insurgency had engulfed six regions: Caprivi, Ovamboland, <a href="/wiki/Kaokoland" title="Kaokoland">Kaokoland</a>, and Kavangoland.<a href="#cite_note-Lord-49">[49]</a> It also had successfully recruited another 2,400 Ovambo and 600 Lozi guerrillas.<a href="#cite_note-MAA-55">[55]</a> PLAN reports from late 1973 indicate that the militants planned to open up two new fronts in central South West Africa and carry out acts of urban insurrection in Windhoek, Walvis Bay, and other major urban centres.<a href="#cite_note-Lord-49">[49]</a> Until 1973, the South African Border War was perceived as a matter of law enforcement rather than a military conflict, reflecting a trend among Anglophone Commonwealth states to regard police as the principal force in the suppression of insurgencies.<a href="#cite_note-Dale-5">[5]</a> The

in turn create increased military pressure on South West Africa.<a href="#cite_note-Stockwell-66">[66]</a> PLAN incursions from Angola were already beginning to spike due to the cessation of patrols and active operations there by the Portuguese.<a href="#cite_note-MAA-55">[55]</a> In the last months of 1974, Portugal announced its intention to grant Angola independence and embarked on a series of hasty efforts to negotiate a power-sharing accord, the <a href="/wiki/Alvor_Agreement" title="Alvor Agreement">Alvor Agreement</a>, between rival Angolan nationalists.<a

Union and was openly committed to Marxist policies.<a href="#cite_note-Rothschild1-67">[67]</a> Its adherence to the concept of an exclusive one-party state alienated it from the FNLA and UNITA, which began portraying themselves as anti-communist and pro-Western in orientation.<a href="#cite_note-Rothschild1-67">[67]</a> South Africa believed that if the MPLA succeeded in seizing power, it would

title="T-34">T-34-85</a> tanks, wheeled armoured personnel carriers, towed rocket launchers and field guns.<a href="#cite_note-Borderstrike1-75">[75]</a> While most of this hardware was antiquated, it proved extremely effective, given the fact that most of FAPLA's opponents consisted of disorganised, under-equipped militias.<a href="#cite_note-Borderstrike1-75">[75]</a> In early October, FAPLA launched a major combined arms offensive on UNITA's national headquarters at <a href="/wiki/Huambo" title="Huambo">Nova Lisboa</a>, which was only repelled with considerable difficulty and assistance from a small team of SADF advisers.<a href="#cite_note-Borderstrike1-75">[75]</a> It became evident to the SADF that neither UNITA or the FNLA possessed armies capable of taking and holding territory, as their fighting strength depended on militias which excelled only in guerrilla warfare.<a href="#cite_note-Borderstrike1-75">[75]</a> South Africa would need its own combat troops to not only defend its allies, but carry out a decisive counter-offensive against FAPLA.<a href="#cite_note-Borderstrike1-75">[75]</a> This proposal was approved by the South African government on the condition that only a small, covert task force would be permitted.<a href="#cite_note-Stockwell-66">[66]</a> SADF personnel participating in offensive operations were told to pose as mercenaries.<a href="#cite_note-Stockwell-66">[66]</a> They were stripped of any identifiable equipment, including their <a href="/wiki/Dog_tag" title="Dog tag">dog tags</a>, and re-issued with nondescript uniforms and weapons impossible to trace.<a href="#cite_note-O'Meara-76">[76]</a> On 22 October, the SADF airlifted more personnel and a squadron of <a href="/wiki/Eland_Mk7" class="mw-redirect" title="Eland

more ground.<a href="#cite_note-Frontiersmen-21">[21]</a> Pretoria intended for the SADF to help the FNLA and UNITA win the civil war before Angola's formal independence date, which the Portuguese had set for 11 November, then withdraw quietly.<a href="#cite_note-Stockwell-66">[66]</a> By early November, the three SADF columns had captured eighteen major towns and cities, including several provincial capitals, and penetrated over five hundred kilometres into Angola.<a href="#cite_note-Cuba-74">[74]</a> Upon receiving intelligence reports that the SADF had openly intervened on the side

SADF advances in the south.<a href="#cite_note-Cuba-74">[74]</a> The South African and Cuban forces engaged in a series of bloody, but inconclusive skirmishes and battles throughout late December.<a href="#cite_note-Frontiersmen-21">[21]</a> However, by this point word of the SADF's involvement had been leaked to the international press, and photographs of SADF armour behind UNITA lines were appearing in several European newspapers.<a href="#cite_note-Cuba-74">[74]</a> This proved to be a major political setback for the South African government, which was almost universally condemned for its interference in a black African country.<a href="#cite_note-Stockwell-66">[66]</a> Moreover, it spurred influential African states such as <a href="/wiki/Nigeria" title="Nigeria">Nigeria</a> and Tanzania to recognise the MPLA as the sole legitimate government of Angola, as that movement's struggle against an apparent act of South African aggression gave it legitimacy at the OAU.<a href="#cite_note-Schraeder-72">[72]</a> South Africa appealed to the United States for more direct support, but when the CIA's role in arming the FNLA also became public, the US Congress terminated and disavowed the programme.<a href="#cite_note-Beggar-71">[71]</a> In the face of regional and international condemnation, the SADF made the decision around Christmas of 1975 to begin withdrawing from Angola.<a href="#cite_note-Ford-77">[77]</a> The withdrawal commenced in February 1976 and formally ended a month later.<a href="#cite_note-Cuba-74">[74]</a> As the FNLA and UNITA lost their

FNLA was almost completely wiped out, but UNITA succeeded in retreating deep into the country's wooded highlands, where it continued to mount a determined insurgency.<a

to the initial objective of preventing a FAPLA victory prior to Angolan independence, which was achieved.<a href="#cite_note-Ford-77">[77]</a> But the early successes of Savannah provided the MPLA politburo with a reason to increase the deployment of Cuban troops and Soviet advisers exponentially.<a href="#cite_note-POW-78">[78]</a> The CIA correctly predicted that Cuba and the Soviet Union would continue to support FAPLA at whatever level was necessary to prevail, while South Africa was inclined to withdraw its forces rather than risk incurring heavy casualties.<a

by the South Africans.<a href="#cite_note-POW-78">[78]</a> South Africa's National Party suffered some domestic fallout as a result of Savannah, as Prime Minister Vorster had concealed the operation from the public for fear of alarming the families of national servicemen deployed on Angolan soil.<a href="#cite_note-POW-78">[78]</a> The South African public was shocked to learn of the details, and

Soviet-Angolan cooperation in the diplomatic, economic, and military spheres; simultaneously both countries also issued a joint expression of solidarity with the Namibian struggle for independence.<a href="#cite_note-MacFarlane-80">[80]</a> Cuba, the Soviet Union, and other Warsaw Pact member states specifically justified their involvement with the Angolan Civil War as a form of proletarian internationalism.<a href="#cite_note-Reappraisal-81">[81]</a> This theory placed an emphasis on socialist solidarity between all left-wing revolutionary struggles, and suggested that one purpose of a successful revolution was to likewise ensure the success of another elsewhere.<a href="#cite_note-Oxford1-82">[82]</a><a href="#cite_note-Oxford2-83">[83]</a> Cuba in particular had thoroughly embraced the concept of internationalism, and one of its foreign policy objectives in Angola was to further the process of national liberation in southern Africa by overthrowing colonial or white minority regimes.<a href="#cite_note-MacFarlane-80">[80]</a> Cuban policies with regards to Angola and the conflict in South West Africa thus became inexorably linked.<a href="#cite_note-MacFarlane-80">[80]</a> As Cuban military personnel had begun to make their appearance in Angola in increasing numbers, they also arrived in Zambia to help train PLAN.<a href="#cite_note-MAA-55">[55]</a> South Africa's defence establishment perceived this aspect of Cuban and to a lesser extent Soviet policy through the prism of the domino theory: if Havana and Moscow

Angolan War of Independence.<a href="#cite_note-Volk-68">[68]</a> In September 1975, SWAPO issued a public statement declaring its intention to remain neutral in the Angolan Civil War and refrain from supporting any single political faction or party.<a href="#cite_note-Dreyer-61">[61]</a> With the South African withdrawal in March, Sam Nujoma retracted his movement's earlier position and endorsed the MPLA as the "authentic representative of the Angolan people".<a href="#cite_note-Dreyer-61">[61]</a> During the same month, Cuba began flying in small numbers of PLAN recruits from Zambia to Angola to commence guerrilla training.<a href="#cite_note-Freedom-70">[70]</a> PLAN shared intelligence with the Cubans and FAPLA, and from April 1976 even fought alongside them against UNITA.<a href="#cite_note-Dreyer-61">[61]</a> FAPLA often used PLAN cadres to garrison strategic sites while freeing up more of its own personnel for deployments elsewhere.<a href="#cite_note-Dreyer-61">[61]</a> The emerging MPLA-SWAPO alliance took on special significance after the latter movement was wracked by factionalism and a series of PLAN mutinies in <a

One controversial development of Operation Reindeer helped sour the international community on the South African Border War.<a href="#cite_note-Camp-42">[42]</a> On 4 May 1978, a battalion-sized task force of the <a href="/wiki/44_Parachute_Brigade_(South_Africa)" title="44 Parachute Brigade (South Africa)">44 Parachute Brigade</a> conducted a sweep through the Angolan mining town of <a

href="/wiki/Constand_Viljoen" title="Constand Viljoen">Constand Viljoen</a>, the chief of the South African Army, had told the task force commanders and his immediate superior General <a href="/wiki/Johannes_Geldenhuys" title="Johannes Geldenhuys">Johannes Geldenhuys</a> that Cassinga was a PLAN "planning headquarters" which also functioned as the "principal medical centre for the treatment of seriously injured guerrillas, as well as the concentration point for guerrilla recruits being dispatched to training centres in Lubango and Luanda and to operational bases in east and west <a href="/wiki/Cunene_Province" title="Cunene Province">Cunene</a>."<a href="#cite_note-McWilliams-102">[102]</a> The task force was made up of older <a href="/wiki/Citizen_Force_(South_Africa)" title="Citizen Force (South Africa)">Citizen Force</a> reservists, many of whom had already served tours on the border, led by experienced professional officers.<a href="#cite_note-McWilliams-102">[102]</a> The task force of about 370 paratroops entered Cassinga, which was known as Objective Moscow to the SADF, in the wake of an intense aerial bombardment.<a href="#cite_note-Atrocity-103">[103]</a><a href="#cite_note-Onslow-104">[104]</a> From this point onward, there are two differing accounts of the Cassinga incident.<a href="#cite_note-Chesterman-87">[87]</a> While both concur that an airborne South African unit entered Cassinga on 4 May and that the paratroopers destroyed a large camp complex, they diverge on the characteristics of the site and the casualties inflicted.<a href="#cite_note-Atrocity-103">[103]</a> The SWAPO and Cuban narrative presented Cassinga as a refugee camp, and the South African government's narrative presented Cassinga as a guerrilla base.<a href="#cite_note-Camp-42">[42]</a> The first account claimed that Cassinga was housing a large population of civilians who had fled the escalating violence in northern South West Africa and were merely dependent on PLAN for their sustenance and protection.<a href="#cite_note-Atrocity-103">[103]</a> According to this narrative, South African paratroopers opened fire on the refugees, mostly women and children; those not immediately killed were systematically rounded up into groups and bayoneted or shot.<a href="#cite_note-Atrocity-103">[103]</a> The alleged result was the massacre of at least 612 South West African civilians, almost all elderly men, women, and children.<a href="#cite_note-Atrocity-103">[103]</a> The SADF narrative concurred with a death toll of approximately 600 but claimed that most of the dead were insurgents killed defending a series of trenches around the camp.<a href="#cite_note-Atrocity-103">[103]</a> South African sources identified Cassinga as a PLAN installation on the basis of aerial reconnaissance photographs, which depicted a network of trenches as well as a military parade ground.<a href="#cite_note-McWilliams-102">[102]</a> Additionally, photographs of the parade ground taken by a Swedish reporter just prior to the raid depicted children and women in civilian clothing, but also uniformed PLAN guerrillas and large numbers of young men of military age.<a href="#cite_note-Camp-42">[42]</a> SWAPO maintained that it ordered the trenches around Cassinga dug to shelter the otherwise defenceless refugees in the event of a SADF raid, and only after camp staff had noted spotter planes overhead several weeks prior.<a href="#cite_note-Camp-42">[42]</a> It justified the construction of a parade ground as part of a programme to instill a sense of discipline and unity.<a href="#cite_note-Camp-42">[42]</a> Western journalists and Angolan officials counted 582 corpses on site a few hours after the SADF's departure.<a href="#cite_note-Onslow-104">[104]</a><a href="#cite_note-War-23">[23]</a> The SADF suffered 3

helicopter.<a href="#cite_note-McWilliams-102">[102]</a> This led to a protracted firefight in which Cuba acknowledged 16 dead and over 80 wounded.<a href="#cite_note-Onslow-104">[104]</a> The Cassinga event was given special significance by Cuban historians such as Jorge Risquet, who noted that it marked the first time that "Cubans and Namibians shed their blood together fighting the South African [military]."<a href="#cite_note-Onslow-104">[104]</a> While Cassinga was in the process of being destroyed, a South African armoured column attacked a network of guerrilla transit camps at Chetequera, code named "Objective Vietnam", which was only about thirty kilometres from the Cutline.<a href="#cite_note-McWilliams-102">[102]</a> Chetequera was much more heavily fortified than Cassinga and the SADF encountered fierce resistance.<a href="#cite_note-Camp-42">[42]</a> Unlike the latter, it had been scouted thoroughly by South African reconnaissance assets on the ground,<a href="#cite_note-McWilliams-102">[102]</a> and they were able to verify the absence of civilians with ample photographic and documentary evidence.<a href="#cite_note-Camp-42">[42]</a> The SADF suffered another 3 dead at Chetequera, in addition to 30 wounded.<a href="#cite_note-Borderstrike2-94">[94]</a> PLAN lost 248 dead and 200 taken prisoner.<a href="#cite_note-Camp-42">[42]</a><a

such as the US, the UK, France, Canada, and West Germany.<a href="#cite_note-Camp-42">[42]</a> As the Cassinga incident received publicity, American and European attitudes became one of intense criticism of South African purpose as well as the process by which it carried out the war.<a href="#cite_note-Camp-42">[42]</a> Notably, Western pressure at the UN to recognise South Africa as an equal partner in any future Namibian peace settlement evaporated.<a href="#cite_note-Volk-68">[68]</a> Cassinga was a major political breakthrough for SWAPO, which had portrayed the casualties there as martyrs of a Namibian nation in the making.<a href="#cite_note-Camp-42">[42]</a> The movement received unprecedented support in the form of humanitarian aid sent to its remaining refugee camps and

Between 1979 and 1980, the pace of infiltration had accelerated so greatly that the SADF was forced to mobilise its reserves and deploy another 8,000 troops to South West Africa.<a href="#cite_note-Jaster-105">[105]</a> The deeper South African raids struck into Angola, the more the war spread, and by mid-1980 the fighting had extended to a much larger geographic area than before.<a href="#cite_note-Jaster-105">[105]</a> Operation Sceptic, then the largest combined arms offensive undertaken by South Africa since World War II, was launched in June against a PLAN base at Chifufua, over a hundred and eighty kilometres inside Angola.<a href="#cite_note-Namakalu-50">[50]</a> Chifufua, codenamed Objective Smokeshell, was divided into a dozen well fortified complexes ringed with trenches, defensive bunkers, and anti-aircraft positions.<a href="#cite_note-Sceptic-119">[119]</a> The SADF killed over 200 insurgents and captured several hundred tonnes of PLAN munitions and weaponry at the cost of 17 dead.<a href="#cite_note-Jaster-105">[105]</a> Operation Protea was mounted on an even larger scale and inflicted heavier PLAN casualties; unlike Sceptic, it was to involve significant FAPLA losses as well as the seizure of substantial amounts of Angolan military hardware and supplies.<a href="#cite_note-Insurgencies-120">[120]</a> Protea was planned when the SADF first became aware of PLAN's evolving conventional capabilities in August 1981.<a href="#cite_note-Hughes-121">[121]</a> Its targets were suspected PLAN bases sited outside major FAPLA installations at <a href="/wiki/Ondjiva" title="Ondjiva">Ondjiva</a> and <a href="/wiki/Xangongo" title="Xangongo">Xangongo</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Frontiersmen-21">[21]</a> Attacking either settlement was considered especially risky due to the presence of Soviet advisers and a comprehensive local FAPLA air defence network.<a href="#cite_note-Jaster-105">[105]</a> Since the first formal cooperation treaties between Angola and the Soviet Union in 1976, the military sphere had constituted the pivot of Angolan-Soviet relations.<a href="#cite_note-MacFarlane-80">[80]</a> The Soviet Navy benefited from its use of Angolan ports to stage exercises throughout the southern Atlantic and even negotiated with FAPLA for the construction of permanent bases.<a

essential to the country's national defence.<a href="#cite_note-Navy1-122">[122]</a> The Soviet Union justified its continued air and naval presence as necessary measures to protect Angola from a South African invasion.<a href="#cite_note-Hot-124">[124]</a> One senior Soviet military official, General Valery Belyaev, remarked that the 30th Operational Squadron was, "by the very fact of its presence...restraining the South African aggression against Angola."<a href="#cite_note-Hot-124">[124]</a> In exchange for granting base rights, FAPLA became the beneficiary of more sophisticated Soviet arms.<a href="#cite_note-Coker-123">[123]</a> After Operation Sceptic, the Soviet Union transferred over five hundred million dollars' worth of military equipment to FAPLA,<a

provide heavier air cover and likely casualties.<a href="#cite_note-Jaster-105">[105]</a> With the adoption of more advanced weaponry, the contribution by Soviet technical and advisory support to FAPLA's operational capabilities also became increasingly crucial.<a href="#cite_note-Mott-8">[8]</a> Totalling between 1,600 and 1,850 advisers by 1981, the Soviet military mission to Angola was

immediate and unconditional withdrawal of the SADF from Angola.<a href="#cite_note-Wilkenfeld-126">[126]</a> Intelligence gained during Protea led to Operation Daisy in November 1981, the deepest SADF

training camps at Bambi and Cheraquera.<a href="#cite_note-MAA-55">[55]</a> On that occasion, the SADF killed 70 PLAN insurgents and destroyed several small caches of arms.<a href="#cite_note-COIN-1">[1]</a> PLAN learned of the attack in advance and had nearly completed its withdrawal when the SADF arrived; the insurgents fought a brief delaying action rather than attempt to defend their bases.<a href="#cite_note-COIN-1">[1]</a> The air war over Angola expanded with the ground fighting. FAPLA's modest air force, consisting of a handful of transports and a few MiG-21s, maintained a large base at Menongue.<a href="#cite_note-Vlamgat-98">[98]</a> During Protea and Daisy the SADF scrambled its own fighters to overfly the base during ground operations and prevent the FAPLA aircraft from taking off.<a href="#cite_note-Vlamgat-98">[98]</a> The Soviets had begun training Angolan MiG pilots, but in the meantime Cubans shouldered the burden of the air war in Angola, flying in support of both FAPLA and PLAN.<a href="#cite_note-Vlamgat-98">[98]</a><a href="#cite_note-Vanneman-10">[10]</a> In November 1981 a MiG-21MF with a Cuban pilot was shot down by South African <a href="/wiki/Mirage_F1" class="mw-redirect" title="Mirage F1">Mirage F1</a>CZs over the <a href="/wiki/Cunene_River" title="Cunene River">Cunene River</a>.<a href="#cite_note-MAA-55">[55]</a><a href="#cite_note-Eject-127">[127]</a> The Mirages downed a second MiG in October 1982.<a href="#cite_note-Eject-127">[127]</a> The expulsion of FAPLA from most of Cunene Province marked a revival of fortunes for Jonas Savimbi and his rump UNITA movement, which was able to seize undefended towns and settlements abandoned in the wake of Operations Protea and Daisy.<a href="#cite_note-Hughes-121">[121]</a> Savimbi focused on rebuilding his power base throughout southeastern Angola while FAPLA and its Cuban allies were otherwise preoccupied fighting the SADF.<a href="#cite_note-Hughes-121">[121]</a> For its part, the SADF allowed UNITA's <a href="/wiki/Armed_Forces_of_the_Liberation_of_Angola" class="mw-redirect" title="Armed Forces of the Liberation of Angola">armed wing</a> to operate freely behind its lines;

for example, the French government issued the statement that it was inappropriate "the Namibian people should serve as hostages" to broader US foreign policy goals.<a href="#cite_note-Thompson-129">[129]</a> The Cuban government interpreted linkage as further proof that South Africa was a foreign policy pawn of the US, and believed it to be part of a wider diplomatic and military offensive by the Reagan administration against Cuban interests worldwide.<a href="#cite_note-Hatzky-130">[130]</a> Botha called on other African states and Western nations to back his demands: "say to the Cubans 'go home' and say to the Russians 'go home', and the minute this happens I will be prepared to settle all our military forces inside South Africa".<a href="#cite_note-Barber-111">[111]</a> Botha also assured the UN that he would take steps to prepare South West Africa for independence "as long as there are realistic prospects of bringing about the genuine withdrawal of Cuban troops from Angola".<a href="#cite_note-Barber-111">[111]</a> The linkage of Namibian independence to the Cuban presence in Angola proved controversial, but it did involve the two Cold War superpowers—the US and the Soviet Union— in a joint mediation process for resolving the South African Border War at the highest level.<a href="#cite_note-NYT3-131">[131]</a> In September 1982 Crocker met with Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Leonid Ilichev for talks on the issue of Cuban-Namibian linkage.<a href="#cite_note-NYT3-131">[131]</a> His deputy, <a href="/wiki/Frank_G._Wisner" title="Frank G.

West Africans in 1974 and established segregated military and paramilitary units for semi-autonomous tribal entities such as Ovamboland two years later.<a href="#cite_note-Kenya-118">[118]</a> PLAN had previously benefited from the deployment of white South African conscripts, reservists, and policemen unfamiliar with the terrain or environment; indigenous recruits were perceived as a means of mitigating this disadvantage.<a href="#cite_note-Tracking-95">[95]</a> In April 1980, Administrator-General <a href="/wiki/Gerrit_Viljoen" title="Gerrit Viljoen">Gerrit Viljoen</a> announced that transfer of some control over military and police forces to South West Africans would occur once the necessary structures were implemented.<a href="#cite_note-Kenya-118">[118]</a> Through its defence headquarters in Windhoek, the SADF had exercised final authority on all military resources and counter-insurgency efforts.<a href="#cite_note-COIN-1">[1]</a> In theory, these arrangements were modified by the establishment of the <a href="/wiki/South_West_African_Territorial_Force" class="mw-redirect" title="South West African Territorial Force">South West African Territorial Force</a> (SWATF) and the <a href="/wiki/South_West_African_Police" title="South West African Police">South West African Police</a> (SWAPOL), since both of these forces were placed under the control of the interim government; the latter was also empowered to implement and oversee conscription as it saw fit.<a href="#cite_note-COIN-1">[1]</a> However, the SADF retained functional command of all military units; the senior general officer of the SADF in South West Africa also doubled as commander of the SWATF.<a href="#cite_note-COIN-1">[1]</a> By the mid 1980s the SWATF numbered about 21,000 personnel and accounted for 61% of all combat troops deployed along the Cutline.<a href="#cite_note-Kenya-118">[118]</a> Both the SWATF and the Government of National Unity remained dependent on massive SADF

Operation Protea had exposed a glaring lack of professionalism on the part of FAPLA units, which had relied too heavily on their Soviet advisers and were almost immediately routed once they had to leave their fortified bases.<a href="#cite_note-Insurgencies-120">[120]</a> In terms of training, morale, organisation, and professional competence—including the ability to operate its own equipment with effectiveness—the Angolan army had proved decidedly vulnerable.<a href="#cite_note-Insurgencies-120">[120]</a> Protea indicated that it was in no condition to repel or even inflict serious losses on the South African expeditionary troops, resulting in a ratio of casualties almost overwhelmingly in the SADF's favour.<a href="#cite_note-Insurgencies-120">[120]</a> That debacle led to a greater FAPLA dependency on augmented Cuban forces and another large arms deal, valued in excess of one billion dollars, being signed with the Soviet Union.<a href="#cite_note-MacFarlane-80">[80]</a> Defence expenditures increased to consume 50% of Angola's state budget by the end of 1982.<a href="#cite_note-Hatzky-130">[130]</a> FAPLA embarked on a massive recruiting drive, purchased new <a

more air search radars and surface-to-air missiles to replace those destroyed in Protea.<a href="#cite_note-trade-133">[133]</a> While Namibianisation altered the tactical realities of the war on the Cutline, the SADF was planning a fourth operation modelled after Sceptic, Protea, and Daisy.<a href="#cite_note-Brothers-114">[114]</a> In April 1982, PLAN insurgents killed 9 South African soldiers near Tsumeb, over 200 kilometres south of the border.<a href="#cite_note-Kenya-118">[118]</a><a href="#cite_note-LM-58">[58]</a> South Africa claimed 152 security-related incidents involving PLAN occurred in South West Africa that year, and acknowledged the combat deaths of 77 SADF and SWATF personnel.<a href="#cite_note-LM-58">[58]</a><a href="#cite_note-MAA-55">[55]</a> In July 1983 PLAN carried out its first major act of urban sabotage, detonating a bomb in the centre of Windhoek, which caused extensive property damage but no civilian injuries.<a href="#cite_note-Kenya-118">[118]</a> Infiltration of Ovamboland and Kavangoland increased dramatically at around the same time, with 700 insurgents entering both regions.<a href="#cite_note-Scheepers-134">[134]</a> The SADF claimed to have killed or captured just under half the insurgents by May, but was unable to prevent the others from making their way further south.<a href="#cite_note-Scheepers-134">[134]</a> These developments indicated that PLAN had not lost its will to persevere despite the enormous materiel losses sustained during Protea, and the infiltration of men and supplies into South West Africa continued apace.<a href="#cite_note-Scheepers-134">[134]</a> Their confidence buoyed by the previous successful incursions into FAPLA-held territory, which had achieved marked success at only minimal cost in lives and materiel, Botha and his defence chiefs scheduled Operation Askari for December 1983.<a href="#cite_note-Brothers-114">[114]</a> Like Protea, Askari was a major combined arms assault on PLAN base areas and supply lines in Angola; it also targeted nearby FAPLA air-defence installations and brigade headquarters.<a href="#cite_note-Scheepers-134">[134]</a> According to General <a href="/wiki/Georg_Meiring" title="Georg Meiring">Georg Meiring</a>, commander of the SADF in South West Africa, Askari would serve the purpose of a preemptive strike aimed at eliminating the large

did not go unnoticed; by late November the Soviet Union had enough satellite reconnaissance photographs and other intelligence to deduce that the SADF was preparing for another major incursion into

aggression towards FAPLA would not be tolerated.<a href="#cite_note-Vanneman-10">[10]</a> The Soviets threatened unspecified retaliation if FAPLA's grip on Angola disintegrated further as a result of Askari.<a href="#cite_note-Vanneman-10">[10]</a> Simultaneously, in a direct show of force, a Soviet aircraft carrier and three surface ships called at Luanda before rounding the Cape of Good Hope.<a href="#cite_note-SFP-135">[135]</a> This constituted the most powerful Soviet naval detachment which had ever approached within striking distance of South African waters.<a href="#cite_note-SFP-135">[135]</a> Botha was unmoved, and Askari proceeded as scheduled on 9 December.<a href="#cite_note-Freedom-70">[70]</a> Its targets were several large PLAN training camps, all of which were located no more than five kilometres from an adjacent FAPLA brigade headquarters.<a href="#cite_note-Scheepers-134">[134]</a> The four local FAPLA brigades represented one-seventh of the entire Angolan army, and three had substantial Soviet advisory contingents.<a href="#cite_note-Freedom-70">[70]</a> Soviet General <a href="/wiki/Valentin_Varennikov" title="Valentin

South African attack".<a href="#cite_note-Freedom-70">[70]</a> FAPLA's Cuban allies were less optimistic: they noted that the brigades were isolated, incapable of reinforcing each other quickly, and possessed insufficient mobile anti-aircraft weapons to protect them outside their bases.<a href="#cite_note-Freedom-70">[70]</a> The Soviets recommended a static defence, appealing directly to Angolan President <a href="/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Eduardo_dos_Santos" title="José Eduardo dos Santos">José Eduardo dos Santos</a>, while the Cubans urged a withdrawal.<a href="#cite_note-Freedom-70">[70]</a> Caught

Askari, the South African forces had encountered unexpectedly determined resistance from PLAN and FAPLA.<a href="#cite_note-Jaster-105">[105]</a> The SADF acknowledged 25 killed in action and 94 wounded, the highest number of casualties suffered in any single operation since Operation Savannah.<a href="#cite_note-Harmse-136">[136]</a> FAPLA also claimed to have shot down 4 South African

the South African government's confidence in its ability to retain the military advantage indefinitely in Angola.<a href="#cite_note-Jaster-105">[105]</a> Heavier and more sophisticated weapons were being used, the rate of casualties had increased, and the air superiority that had accounted for many of the SADF's previous successes was diminishing.<a href="#cite_note-Jaster-105">[105]</a><a href="#cite_note-Brothers-114">[114]</a> Nor was Botha and his cabinet certain of continued political and diplomatic support from the US, which had chosen to abstain rather than exercise its veto with regard to UN Security Council Resolution 546.<a href="#cite_note-Jaster-105">[105]</a> The Reagan administration perceived that both Angola and South Africa had grown weary of the war and were more susceptible to pressure for a ceasefire and mutual disengagement.<a href="#cite_note-Jaster-105">[105]</a> American diplomats offered to mediate peace talks accordingly, and on 13 February South African and Angolan officials met for the first time in Lusaka.<a href="#cite_note-Freedom-70">[70]</a> Three days later, South Africa announced that it would withdraw its expeditionary forces from Cunene Province by the end of March,<a href="#cite_note-Arguments-137">[137]</a> provided the Angolans agreed to prevent PLAN from taking advantage of the situation to infiltrate South West Africa.<a href="#cite_note-Jaster-105">[105]</a> The Angolan government pledged to restrain PLAN and MK, and to prohibit any movement of Cuban troops southward towards the border.<a

href="#cite_note-Hughes-121">[121]</a> FAPLA and the SADF agreed to set up a Joint Monitoring Commission (JMC) to police the disengagement.<a href="#cite_note-Freedom-70">[70]</a> Under the JMC, joint South African and Angolan patrols were carried out along six hundred kilometres of the border.<a href="#cite_note-Brothers-114">[114]</a> Cuba and the Soviet Union were not consulted on the Lusaka Accords until after they had been signed.<a href="#cite_note-Freedom-70">[70]</a> In a heated exchange with President dos Santos, Fidel Castro complained, "the final decision was yours, not ours, but at least we could have talked beforehand, and we, as well as the Soviets, could have expressed our disagreement beforehand...both the Soviets and us, your two main allies, the two who support Angola, who have been making immense efforts on your behalf, we were faced with a fait accompli".<a href="#cite_note-Freedom-70">[70]</a> UNITA denounced the Lusaka Accords, insisting that any peace effort

over timetables for the withdrawal of Cuban troops and Namibian independence, respectively.<a href="#cite_note-Freedom-70">[70]</a> While the Soviet Union and Cuba did nothing to impede the dialogue, they feared that Luanda might sacrifice PLAN and MK by agreeing to expel them from the country.<a href="#cite_note-Freedom-70">[70]</a> Castro confided to Soviet officials that he had no intention of authorising a withdrawal of Cuban forces if the Angolan government signed a non-aggression pact with South Africa similar to the <a href="/wiki/Nkomati_Accord" title="Nkomati Accord">Nkomati Accord</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Freedom-70">[70]</a> As a last resort, the Cuban presence in Angola would be maintained unilaterally for the purpose of aiding PLAN, with or without Luanda's approval.<a

pressure on Botha.<a href="#cite_note-Destruction-116">[116]</a> On 17 November, dos Santos proposed a five-point peace plan on the following terms: a complete SADF withdrawal from Angola, a renewed ceasefire agreement, a formal pledge by the South African government to begin implementing Namibian independence under the terms of <a href="/wiki/United_Nations_Security_Council_Resolution_435" title="United Nations Security Council Resolution 435">United Nations Security Council Resolution 435</a>, a formal pledge by the Angolan government to begin implementing a three year phased withdrawal of all but 5,000 Cuban troops, and recognition of SWAPO and Cuba as an equal party in negotiations.<a href="#cite_note-Destruction-116">[116]</a> Botha wanted all the Cuban military personnel to be withdrawn, and over a period of twelve months rather than three years.<a href="#cite_note-Destruction-116">[116]</a> He also countered that the Namibian independence process could only take place once the Cuban withdrawal was initiated.<a href="#cite_note-Destruction-116">[116]</a> The Lusaka Accords were abandoned in the wake of <a href="/wiki/Operation_Argon" title="Operation Argon">Operation Argon</a>, a failed sabotage mission carried out by South African special forces in Angola's oil-rich <a href="/wiki/Cabinda_Province" title="Cabinda Province">Cabinda exclave</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Hughes-121">[121]</a> Four years of military escalation and massive defence expenditures had a drastic impact on Angola's state finances, which were only being balanced by petroleum revenue.<a href="#cite_note-Hatzky-130">[130]</a> The largest oil refinery in the country was located on the Cabindan coast and operated by a US firm, <a href="/wiki/Gulf_Oil" title="Gulf Oil">Gulf Oil</a>, under the auspices of the Cabina-Gulf Oil National Petroleum Company of Angola (SONAGOL).<a href="#cite_note-Destruction-116">[116]</a> By 1984 Gulf had invested over 1.3 billion dollars in its Cabinda operation, which was exporting 165,495 barrels of oil per day.<a href="#cite_note-Destruction-116">[116]</a> At the time, the revenue from the Gulf refinery generated 90% of Angola's foreign exchange.<a href="#cite_note-Destruction-116">[116]</a> The Reagan administration separated its political positions on Angola from its position on SONAGOL, with Crocker hoping that American multinational companies in general, and Gulf in particular, would be a moderating force on the Marxist government.<a href="#cite_note-Destruction-116">[116]</a> South Africa had noted the critical importance of the refinery's contribution to the FAPLA war effort and had begun investigating ways to disrupt it without incurring the ire of the US, which would have to react if American commercial interests were threatened.<a href="#cite_note-Fist-91">[91]</a> The SADF believed that a covert sabotage operation was possible, as long as the destruction was not attributable to South Africa and a credible cover story could be used to link the attack to a domestic Angolan movement such as UNITA or the <a href="/wiki/Front_for_the_Liberation_of_the_Enclave_of_Cabinda" title="Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda">Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda</a> (FLEC).<a href="#cite_note-Fist-91">[91]</a> An attack on the oil platforms was ruled out, as this was beyond the capabilities of either UNITA or FLEC, so the SADF opted to infiltrate the refinery's oil storage facilities and mine the fuel tanks.<a href="#cite_note-Fist-91">[91]</a> The damage incurred would cripple Angola's ability to finance its military operations and give it greater economic incentive to accede to South African demands in the ongoing negotiations rather than risk returning to war.<a href="#cite_note-NYT4-138">[138]</a> The sabotage mission received the code name Operation Argon, and 15 South African special forces operators deployed to Cabinda by sea in May 1985.<a href="#cite_note-Brothers-114">[114]</a> They were discovered by a FAPLA patrol during the infiltration attempt, and two of the raiders were shot dead with a third, Captain Wynand Petrus du Toit, being captured.<a href="#cite_note-Brothers-114">[114]</a> Under interrogation, du Toit confessed that the objective of Argon was to sabotage the storage tanks at Cabinda Gulf.<a href="#cite_note-Brothers-114">[114]</a> The South African government disavowed du Toit and denied responsibility, but General Viljoen later confirmed the SADF's role in the operation.<a href="#cite_note-Brothers-114">[114]</a> Consequently, the ceasefire imposed as a result of the Lusaka Accords collapsed, and further peace talks were abandoned.<a href="#cite_note-Brothers-114">[114]</a> The diplomatic repercussions of Operation Argon's failure were immense. Castro believed the failed raid indicated that the US and South Africa were not truly committed to peace, and had been dishonest during the ceasefire negotiations.<a

conditions under which it would also accept the terms of a ceasefire.<a href="#cite_note-Arnold-141">[141]</a> Savimbi requested a government of national unity with the MPLA in which he was granted a part, and threatened to begin attacking major cities if he was ignored.<a href="#cite_note-Arnold-141">[141]</a> In this manner Savimbi sought to interlace conditionality over an SADF and FAPLA disengagement with his own conflict of interests with the Angolan regime.<a href="#cite_note-Arnold-141">[141]</a> Although Botha approved of UNITA as an ostensibly anti-communist movement, he did nothing to impress Savimbi's demands on dos Santos.<a href="#cite_note-Brothers-114">[114]</a> UNITA responded by raiding <a href="/wiki/Sumbe" title="Sumbe">Sumbe</a>, a settlement two hundred and sixty kilometres to the south of Luanda.<a href="#cite_note-Arnold-141">[141]</a> That June, UNITA sabotaged the oil pipeline in Cabinda, kidnapping 16 British expatriate workers and a Portuguese technician.<a href="#cite_note-Arnold-141">[141]</a> Six months later the insurgents raided <a href="/wiki/Cafunfo" title="Cafunfo">Cafunfo</a>, killing 100 FAPLA personnel.<a

bases as possible and within easy reach of SADF bases in Ovamboland and the Caprivi Strip.<a href="#cite_note-Brittain-142">[142]</a> FAPLA had deserted the region for precisely this reason, withdrawing north after Operation Protea,<a href="#cite_note-MAA-55">[55]</a> but in the process left behind a power vacuum which Savimbi was quick to exploit.<a href="#cite_note-Hughes-121">[121]</a> Savimbi used Jamba to augment UNITA's public image, investing heavily in local infrastructure.<a href="#cite_note-Brittain-142">[142]</a> He opened the settlement to American and South African journalists, honed his public relations skills in frequent press conferences denouncing the MPLA, and lobbied for Western aid.<a href="#cite_note-Brittain-142">[142]</a> Under the <a href="/wiki/Reagan_Doctrine" title="Reagan Doctrine">Reagan Doctrine</a>, the US government opened covert channels to provide military assistance to UNITA.<a href="#cite_note-Destruction-116">[116]</a> It repealed the <a href="/wiki/Clark_Amendment" title="Clark Amendment">Clark Amendment</a>, which explicitly barred further CIA support for the UNITA and the FNLA, allowing the agency to resume Angolan operations.<a href="#cite_note-Reagan-143">[143]</a> The Angolan government asserted this was "proof of the complicity there has always been between the US executive and the retrograde racist Pretoria regime" and it had "no alternative but to suspend the contacts it has had with US government envoys".<a href="#cite_note-Dimensions-140">[140]</a> In 1986, Savimbi visited Washington, where he met with American officials and was promised military hardware valued at about ten million dollars, including <a href="/wiki/FIM-92_Stinger" title="FIM-92

the MPLA in Angola, the South African political leadership generally accepted that reversing that verdict by force was unrealistic.<a href="#cite_note-Minter-144">[144]</a> At the same time, Vorster and Botha had recognised that a total military defeat of PLAN was elusive without the impossible corollary of a victory over the combined FAPLA-PLAN alliance in Angola.<a

others favoured simply using it to wage a limited containment exercise against PLAN.<a href="#cite_note-Minter-144">[144]</a> An offensive strategy which offered the chance to aggressively attack Angola by land, sea, and air and focus directly on the MPLA's centres of power was never discussed and became more remote as time went on.<a href="#cite_note-Minter-144">[144]</a> In its place, therefore, the other popular option was promulgated, which was to focus chiefly on fighting PLAN, the primary threat within the geographical limits of South West Africa proper, and attempting to intimidate Angola in the form of punitive cross-border raids, thus assuming an essentially defensive posture.<a href="#cite_note-Minter-144">[144]</a> While Botha never seriously considered the overthrow of the MPLA as a viable objective, he endorsed increasing aid to UNITA for several reasons: it would mend diplomatic relations with the US, especially after the debacle of Operation Argon, UNITA could be molded into a proxy to harass PLAN, and donating captured weapons to Savimbi was cost-effective and deniable.<a href="#cite_note-Minter-144">[144]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size"

Moduler</a></div> Intending to wrest back the initiative, sever UNITA's logistics lifelines to South West Africa and Zaire, and forestall any future insurgent offensives, FAPLA launched Operation Saluting October in mid-1987.<a href="#cite_note-Hot-124">[124]</a> The impetus for Saluting October likely originated with the Soviet military mission, which pressed the idea of a major conventional thrust to destroy UNITA's southeastern front as early as 1983.<a href="#cite_note-Hot-124">[124]</a> It had received a new commander that year, Lieutenant General Petr Gusev, former deputy commander of the <a href="/wiki/Carpathian_Military_District" title="Carpathian Military District">Carpathian Military District</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Hot-124">[124]</a> In light of the war's length, its cost, the rising death toll, and looming cuts in the Soviet military expenditure which would limit future efforts to support FAPLA's war effort, Gusev wanted a decisive multi-divisional offensive to crush UNITA once and for all.<a href="#cite_note-Chan-148">[148]</a> Operation Saluting October was a two-pronged offensive aimed at retaking three major settlements from UNITA, Cangamba, Cassamba, and <a href="/wiki/Mavinga" title="Mavinga">Mavinga</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Stapleton2-9">[9]</a><a href="#cite_note-MAA-55">[55]</a> The FAPLA command staff intended the attack on Cangamba and Cassamba as a feint, hoping to draw UNITA forces there and away from Mavinga.<a href="#cite_note-Stapleton2-9">[9]</a><a href="#cite_note-MAA-55">[55]</a> Once Mavinga was in government hands, FAPLA could expel the remaining insurgents from <a href="/wiki/Moxico_Province" title="Moxico Province">Moxico Province</a> and pave the way for a final assault on Savimbi's headquarters at Jamba.<a href="#cite_note-Stapleton2-9">[9]</a> Between 4 and 9 Soviet advisers were to be attached on the battalion level, albeit with strict orders not to participate in the fighting and withdraw from the front as necessary to avoid contact with UNITA.<a href="#cite_note-Vanneman-10">[10]</a> They were accompanied by a small number of Cuban advisers and East German technical personnel serving in a variety of support roles.<a href="#cite_note-Stapleton2-9">[9]</a><a href="#cite_note-Vanneman-10">[10]</a> Gusev and his staff appealed to Moscow for more aid to FAPLA, particularly strike aircraft, for another offensive; this request was granted.<a href="#cite_note-Chan-148">[148]</a> In what had become an annual practice, an estimated billion dollars' worth of arms was flown into Luanda by Soviet <a href="/wiki/Antonov_An-24" title="Antonov An-24">Antonov An-24</a> flights, as many as 12 per day for a six-month period.<a href="#cite_note-Vanneman-10">[10]</a> The equipment was offloaded in the capital and transferred to Angolan <a href="/wiki/Ilyushin_Il-76" title="Ilyushin Il-76">Ilyushin Il-76s</a>, which in turn flew them directly to the front.<a href="#cite_note-Vanneman-10">[10]</a> To FAPLA, the experience of planning and executing an operation of such massive proportions was relatively new, but the Soviet military mission was convinced that a decade of exhaustive training on its part had created an army capable of undertaking a complex multi-divisional offensive.<a href="#cite_note-Stapleton2-9">[9]</a> The Angolan brigade commanders had repeatedly expressed reservations about splitting the force and fighting on two fronts, arguing that a single assault on Mavinga would be more linear and sufficient.<a href="#cite_note-Stapleton2-9">[9]</a> FAPLA's Cuban advisers objected on the grounds that South Africa might intervene on behalf of its erstwhile ally.<a href="#cite_note-Stapleton2-9">[9]</a> "Don't

"And count us out if you do."<a href="#cite_note-Fidel-149">[149]</a> General <a href="/wiki/Arnaldo_Ochoa" title="Arnaldo Ochoa">Arnaldo Ochoa</a>, the senior Cuban military officer in Angola, also

African intervention.<a href="#cite_note-Stapleton2-9">[9]</a> The preliminary phase of the new offensive began in August 1987.<a href="#cite_note-MAA-55">[55]</a><a

other than providing that movement with arms and some limited air and artillery support.<a href="#cite_note-CVT-151">[note 1]</a> Nevertheless, Botha recognised that if Jamba fell, the buffer provided by UNITA's presence in southern Angola would collapse with it, and FAPLA would allow PLAN to gain direct access to its territory contiguous to the border.<a href="#cite_note-Mobility-150">[150]</a> This would make PLAN infiltration of northern South West Africa almost impossible to check, especially in the Caprivi Strip and Kavangoland.<a href="#cite_note-Mobility-150">[150]</a> As Cuban and MK sources had predicted, the commitment of regular ground troops alongside UNITA was authorised, albeit on the condition that strict control would be exercised over combat operations at the highest level of government to ensure that political and diplomatic requirements meshed with the military ones.<a href="#cite_note-Mobility-150">[150]</a> The SADF took advantage of FAPLA's numerous delays to assemble a blocking force strong enough to stop the FAPLA drive on Mavinga.<a href="#cite_note-Polack-19">[19]</a> By the end of August, South Africa's expeditionary forces near Mavinga had built up to include 32 Battalion, <a href="/wiki/101_Battalion_(South_Africa)" title="101 Battalion (South Africa)">101 Battalion</a> of the SWATF, and its elite <a href="/wiki/61_Mechanised_Battalion_Group" title="61 Mechanised Battalion Group">61 Mechanised Battalion Group</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Brothers-114">[114]</a> There were three major rivers and nine tributaries between Cuito Cuanavale and Mavinga.<a href="#cite_note-Polack-19">[19]</a> Although none of the rivers were especially large, all the prospective crossing points were adjacent to vast expanses of swamps and waterlogged flood plains.<a href="#cite_note-Polack-19">[19]</a> These stalled the FAPLA advance and permitted the SADF to create effective choke points which further hampered FAPLA's progress.<a href="#cite_note-Polack-19">[19]</a> The South African general staff judged correctly that if these narrow entry points were seriously contested they had the potential to bottleneck the FAPLA brigades.<a href="#cite_note-Polack-19">[19]</a> They opted to launch a counteroffensive at the Lomba River, which was the last of the three rivers FAPLA had to cross before reaching Mavinga.<a href="#cite_note-Polack-19">[19]</a> The success of the South African counteroffensive was ensured by the rapid collapse of FAPLA's 47 Infantry Brigade, which was tasked with establishing a bridgehead on the Lomba's southern bank.<a href="#cite_note-Mannall-152">[151]</a> In conventional terms, the FAPLA brigades theoretically possessed more than enough strength and firepower to dislodge UNITA and the SADF from the Lomba River.<a href="#cite_note-Mannall-152">[151]</a> But they were inadequately trained or experienced to counter the South African blocking force, which was composed of units selected for their experience in mobile bush warfare,<a href="#cite_note-Polack-19">[19]</a> and were outmanoeuvred in the thick foliage cover.<a href="#cite_note-COH-153">[152]</a> The Lomba's swampy environment also hampered coordinated actions and allowed the SADF to isolate and rout each brigade in piecemeal engagements.<a href="#cite_note-Stapleton2-9">[9]</a> Between September and October 1987 FAPLA suffered almost 2,000 casualties during several failed river crossings.<a href="#cite_note-Mannall-152">[151]</a> With much of its bridging equipment destroyed, FAPLA abandoned the offensive and ordered its remaining brigades back to Cuito Cuanavale.<a href="#cite_note-Stapleton2-9">[9]</a> The Soviet military mission had suffered 3 dead<a href="#cite_note-Kinnear-154">[153]</a> and at least 1 seriously wounded.<a href="#cite_note-Tokarev-155">[154]</a> The SADF had suffered 17 dead and 41 wounded, as well as the loss of 5 armoured vehicles.<a href="#cite_note-SurviveRide-57">[57]</a> During Operation Moduler, Cuban combat troops had remained well north of the Lomba River and declined to participate in the fighting, per Castro's instructions.<a href="#cite_note-Freedom-70">[70]</a> In Luanda, President dos Santos summoned General Gusev and the senior Cuban general officer, Gustavo Fleitas Ramirez, for an urgent conference to discuss the worsening military situation and the failure of Operation Saluting October.<a href="#cite_note-Freedom-70">[70]</a> Ramirez reminded dos Santos that Cuba had been opposed to the offensive from the beginning.<a href="#cite_note-Freedom-70">[70]</a> Gusev lamented in his memoirs that "I informed [chief of the Soviet general staff] <a href="/wiki/Sergey_Akhromeyev" title="Sergey

The Tumpo Triangle campaign exposed several flaws in the planning of the South African defence chiefs and general staff.<a href="#cite_note-Saney-159">[158]</a> They had estimated quite accurately that their forces would be able to inflict a crushing defeat on FAPLA in the flood plains and open terrain south of Cuito Cuanavale.<a href="#cite_note-Saney-159">[158]</a> But they had not anticipated so many Angolan units would survive and establish strong defensive lines in the Tumpo Triangle, or that the addition of Cuban troops there would stiffen the resistance considerably.<a href="#cite_note-Saney-159">[158]</a> Further South African miscalculations appeared in the latter phases of the campaign.<a href="#cite_note-StrategicOps-157">[156]</a> One was the assumption that the small and highly mobile but lightly armed SADF expeditionary force was suited to mounting frontal attacks on well-prepared defenders supported by dug in artillery west of Cuito.<a href="#cite_note-StrategicOps-157">[156]</a> The use of battalions trained and organised for mobile warfare in this manner was in violation of the SADF's own mechanised doctrine.<a href="#cite_note-StrategicOps-157">[156]</a> The defending Angolans had ample dug-in artillery and the benefit of air cover: the Soviet Union's increased willingness to supply FAPLA with advanced fighter aircraft and even Soviet pilots on loan posed a serious threat to South African air operations over Cuito Cuanavale.<a href="#cite_note-Chan-148">[148]</a><a href="#cite_note-Nugent-163">[162]</a> As Soviet involvement grew, and the number of air battles increased, South Africa's air force began encountering MiG-23s flown by well-trained Soviet pilots.<a

South African fighters.<a href="#cite_note-Vanneman-10">[10]</a> For the first time the SADF began losing aircraft in numbers, indicating the contested extent of the Angolan skies.<a

could be scrambled to intercept them.<a href="#cite_note-Sanctions-164">[163]</a> The necessity of avoiding prolonged aerial contact was partly dictated by fuel considerations: the SADF Mirage F1AZ and F1CZ fighters launched from distant bases in South West Africa, which meant they had barely enough fuel for three minutes of combat once they reached Cuito Cuanavale.<a href="#cite_note-Geldenhuys-162">[161]</a> The impact on ground operations was more consequential.<a href="#cite_note-Sanctions-164">[163]</a> FAPLA MiGs flew reconnaissance missions in search of the G5 and G6 howitzers, forcing the South African artillery crews to resort to increasingly elaborate camouflage and take the precaution of carrying out their bombardments after dark.<a href="#cite_note-Polack-19">[19]</a> Owing to the increase in losses and damage due to UNITA's US-supplied Stinger missiles, however, MiG pilots had to adopt contingencies of their own to reduce the vulnerability of their aircraft.<a href="#cite_note-Polack-19">[19]</a> Cuban and Angolan warplanes were forced to drop bombs from higher altitudes, greatly reducing their accuracy.<a href="#cite_note-Polack-19">[19]</a> FAPLA airfields were also monitored by South African forward artillery observers, who called in bombardments to destroy aircraft while they were exposed on the

FAPLA remained heavily strained and more dependent than before on its Cuban allies and Soviet materiel.<a href="#cite_note-Dimensions-140">[140]</a> This gave dos Santos an incentive to ease the military dilemma with negotiations and he reopened the possibility of reaching a new ceasefire and disengagement agreement with South Africa.<a href="#cite_note-Dimensions-140">[140]</a> As early as January 1987, Chester Crocker had responded to positive signals from Luanda, especially when President <a href="/wiki/Denis_Sassou_Nguesso" title="Denis Sassou Nguesso">Denis Sassou Nguesso</a> of the

Crocker relented to pressure and accepted Cuba as an equal partner in further peace talks.<a href="#cite_note-George-14">[14]</a> Castro agreed that he would not introduce extraneous issues to the agenda, such as <a href="/wiki/Cuba%E2%80%93United_States_relations" title="Cuba–United States relations">Cuba–US relations</a>, and that discussion of a phased troop withdrawal would extend to all Cuban military personnel stationed in Angola, including combat troops, logistical staff, and advisers.<a href="#cite_note-George-14">[14]</a> With Cuba's entry into the Brazzaville talks, its desire to shift its military involvement in Angola from a passive, defensive role to an offensive one intensified.<a href="#cite_note-Vanneman-10">[10]</a> Castro opted to escalate ground operations against the SADF, since he considered diplomatic progress impossible as long as South Africa still clung to the likelihood of a tactical victory.<a href="#cite_note-Vanneman-10">[10]</a> He retained a solely defensive posture at Cuito Cuanavale, keeping the SADF fixed in place, while carrying out his longstanding proposal to launch a flanking manoeuvre towards the South West African border.<a href="#cite_note-Saney-159">[158]</a> The new offensive would consist of a movement of Cuban forces in divisional strength west of the Cunene River.<a href="#cite_note-StrategicOps-157">[156]</a> On 9 March, Castro ordered all Cuban troops massed at Lobito, which had grown to about 40,000 men, southward.<a href="#cite_note-Leavenworth-166">[165]</a> He likened their movement to "a boxer who with his left hand blocks the blow [at Cuito Cuanavale] and with his right – strikes [in the west]".<a href="#cite_note-StrategicOps-157">[156]</a> "That way," Castro recounted on another occasion, "while the South African troops were being bled slowly dry in Cuito Cuanavale, down in the southwest...40,000 Cuban soldiers...backed by about 600 tanks, hundreds of artillery pieces, 1,000 anti-aircraft weapons, and the daring MiG-23 units that took over the skies, advanced towards the Namibian border, ready to sweep away the South African forces".<a href="#cite_note-Fidel-149">[149]</a> As the Cuban brigades advanced, they accumulated thousands of PLAN insurgents, who departed their bases to join the offensive.<a href="#cite_note-Vanneman-10">[10]</a> The presence of so many Cuban troops effectively resuscitated PLAN's sagging fortunes, as it curtailed new South African military initiatives against the insurgents not only in Angola but South West Africa as well.<a href="#cite_note-Vanneman-10">[10]</a> Firstly, the region being occupied by the Cubans just north of the border was the same territory the SADF had monitored and patrolled for almost a decade in order to prevent PLAN infiltration into Ovamboland.<a href="#cite_note-Vanneman-10">[10]</a> Secondly, all South African units near the border had ceased routine counter-insurgency operations while they were being mobilised to resist a potential Cuban invasion.<a href="#cite_note-Vanneman-10">[10]</a> Matters were complicated further when the Cubans formed three joint battalions with PLAN fighters, each with its own artillery and armoured contingents.<a href="#cite_note-Vanneman-10">[10]</a> Due to the integration of the insurgents with Cuban personnel at the battalion level, South African patrols found it impossible to engage PLAN in Angola without risking a much larger confrontation involving aggressive and well-armed Cuban troops.<a href="#cite_note-StrategicOps-157">[156]</a> The limited number of SADF troops available near the border could not halt the continued progress of the Cuban army or reduce the threat to South West Africa.<a href="#cite_note-StrategicOps-157">[156]</a> There were simply too few personnel and resources to secure the broad defensive positions along the Cutline against a conventional force in divisional strength.<a href="#cite_note-StrategicOps-157">[156]</a> Nevertheless, the SADF was able to slow the Cuban offensive with a series of effective delaying actions throughout mid-1988, an initiative known as <a href="/wiki/Operation_Excite/Hilti" title="Operation Excite/Hilti">Operation Excite</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Buffalo-167">[166]</a> When South African officials warned against an invasion of South West Africa, Castro retorted that they were "in no position to demand anything".<a href="#cite_note-Vanneman-10">[10]</a> Havana also issued an ambiguous statement which read, "we are not saying we will not go into Namibia".<a href="#cite_note-Vanneman-10">[10]</a> The South African government responded by mobilising 140,000 reservists—a figure almost unprecedented in SADF history—and threatening severe repercussions on any Cuban unit which crossed the border.<a href="#cite_note-Cochran-100">[100]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4

Despite taking the necessary countermeasures on the battlefield, the South African government discerned it had reached the political limits of further escalation in Angola.<a href="#cite_note-SACP-158">[157]</a> The casualties sustained during the Cuito Cuanavale campaign had been sufficient to cause public alarm and provoke difficult questions about the tactical situation on the border and why South African soldiers were dying there.<a href="#cite_note-SACP-158">[157]</a> There was little reason to believe yet another bloody campaign would be successful in expelling the Soviets and Cuba from the region; on the contrary, as in the past, it could lead to an increase in the amount of Soviet weapons and Cuban troops.<a href="#cite_note-Crocker-128">[128]</a> The conflict had also evolved from a low-intensity struggle against lightly armed insurgents into protracted battles between armies backed by all the paraphernalia of modern conventional warfare, with the accompanying rise in human and material costs.<a href="#cite_note-SACP-158">[157]</a> This contributed to a sense of war weariness and increased the growing skepticism and sensitivity in civilian circles towards the SADF's Angolan operations.<a href="#cite_note-Rothschild1-67">[67]</a> The failure of the Soviet-supervised Operation Saluting October, along with the consequent destruction of hundreds of millions of dollars' of FAPLA's Soviet-supplied arms, had the effect of moderating Moscow's stance on Angola.<a href="#cite_note-Crocker-128">[128]</a> In a notable departure from its previous foreign policy stance, the Soviet Union disclosed it too was weary of the Angolan and South West African conflicts and was prepared to assist in a peace process—even one conducted on the

Security Council expected to cover the majority of the costs were irritated by its relatively large size.<a href="#cite_note-Hampson-11">[11]</a> However, Angola, Zambia, and other states sympathetic to PLAN insisted that a larger force was necessary to ensure that South Africa did not interfere with independence proceedings.<a href="#cite_note-Sitkowski-170">[169]</a> Against their objections UNTAG's force levels were reduced from the proposed 7,500 to three battalions of 4,650 troops.<a href="#cite_note-Sitkowski-170">[169]</a> This slashed projected expenses by nearly three hundred million dollars, but the Security Council did not approve the revised budget until 1 March 1989.<a href="#cite_note-Sitkowski-170">[169]</a> The inevitable delay in UNTAG's full deployment ensured there were insufficient personnel prepared to monitor the movement of PLAN and the SADF or their confinement to bases on 1 April 1989, when the permanent cessation in hostilities was to take effect.<a href="#cite_note-Peacebuilding-173">[171]</a> Secretary-General de Cuéllar urged restraint in the interim on both sides to avoid jeopardising the de facto ceasefire maintained since August 1988 or the 1 April implementation schedule.<a href="#cite_note-Hampson-11">[11]</a> Nevertheless, PLAN took advantage of the political uncertainty in the weeks following the UNTAG budget debate to begin moving its forces in Angola closer to the border.<a href="#cite_note-Stiff-174">[172]</a> Since the early 1980s PLAN had consistently stated its intention to establish camps inside South West Africa during any future political transition, a notion rejected with equal consistency by the South African government.<a href="#cite_note-Refugeecrisis-175">[173]</a> Compounding this fact was that PLAN insurgents also identified themselves as refugees without making any distinction between their civilian or military background, and the UN had explicitly invited refugees to return home.<a href="#cite_note-Sparks-176">[174]</a> Indeed, PLAN did not possess many regular standing units and by the late 1980s many of its personnel followed cyclical patterns of fighting as insurgents before returning to refugee camps as civilians.<a href="#cite_note-Demob-177">[175]</a> On 31 March 1989, <a href="/wiki/Pik_Botha" title="Pik Botha">Pik Botha</a> complained to the JMMC that PLAN troops had advanced south of the <a href="/wiki/16th_parallel_south" title="16th parallel south">16th parallel</a> and were massing less than eight kilometres from the border.<a href="#cite_note-Sitkowski-170">[169]</a> He promptly intercepted <a href="/wiki/United_Nations_Commissioner_for_Namibia" title="United Nations Commissioner for Namibia">UN Special Representative</a> <a href="/wiki/Martti_Ahtisaari" title="Martti Ahtisaari">Martti Ahtisaari</a> and UNTAG commander <a href="/wiki/Dewan_Prem_Chand" title="Dewan Prem Chand">Dewan Prem Chand</a> that evening and gave them the same information.<a href="#cite_note-Sitkowski-170">[169]</a> On the morning of 1 April, the first PLAN cadres crossed into Ovamboland, unhindered by UNTAG, which had failed to monitor their activity in Angola due to the delays in its deployment.<a href="#cite_note-Sitkowski-170">[169]</a> Ahtisaari immediately contacted SWAPO, ordering it to rein in PLAN, to little avail.<a href="#cite_note-Sitkowski-170">[169]</a> The South African foreign ministry also contacted the Secretary-General, who in turn relayed the same message to SWAPO officials in New York.<a href="#cite_note-Sitkowski-170">[169]</a> At the end of the day, with no signs of the PLAN advance abating, Ahtisaari lifted all restrictions confining the SADF to its bases.<a href="#cite_note-Sitkowski-170">[169]</a> Local police mobilised and fought off the invaders in a delaying action until regular SADF forces were able to deploy with six battalions.<a href="#cite_note-Sitkowski-170">[169]</a> After the first two days the insurgents lost their offensive initiative, and the combined South African forces drove PLAN back across the border in a counteroffensive codenamed <a href="/wiki/Operation_Merlyn" title="Operation Merlyn">Operation Merlyn</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Sitkowski-170">[169]</a> Between 1 and 9 April 1989, 273 PLAN insurgents were killed in the fighting.<a href="#cite_note-Sparks-176">[174]</a> The SADF and police suffered 23 dead.<a href="#cite_note-Sparks-176">[174]</a> On 8 April 1989, the JMMC issued the Mount Etjo Declaration, which reiterated that the Tripartite Accord was still in effect and that South Africa, Angola, and Cuba remained committed to peace.<a href="#cite_note-Hampson-11">[11]</a> It also ordered all PLAN insurgents remaining in Ovamboland to surrender at UNTAG-supervised assembly points.<a href="#cite_note-Hampson-11">[11]</a> Sam Nujoma denied any incursion had taken place on 1 April, claiming that he had only ordered PLAN insurgents already inside South West Africa to begin establishing base camps.<a href="#cite_note-Clairborne-178">[176]</a> He also pointed out that SWAPO had never been a signatory to the Tripartite Accord, and therefore the cessation of hostilities as dictated by its terms was non-binding.<a href="#cite_note-Clairborne-178">[176]</a> This drew some ire from Angola, which had given guarantees to the UN that PLAN would remain north of the 16th parallel.<a href="#cite_note-Hampson-11">[11]</a> The SADF was re-confined to its bases on 26 April, then released into Ovamboland again to verify that the insurgents had departed.<a href="#cite_note-Sitkowski-170">[169]</a> By May, all but a small handful of PLAN insurgents had been relocated north of the 16th parallel under JMMC supervision, effectively ending the South African Border War.<a href="#cite_note-Sitkowski-170">[169]</a><a href="#cite_note-END-179">[note 3]</a> <a
