Conflict grows within the Union of South Africa promising dramatic
changes of some kind in the near future.  Whatever results will
affect the entire subcontinent of southern Africa:  socialist and
Cuba-allied Angola & Mozambique, leftward-leaning Zimbabwe, the
disputed region of southwest Africa, Zambia.  All these nations
are economically dependent on the Union to a large extent, whether
for access to ports, trade, etc.

Some people may think it racist or insensitive to consider such
strategic matters while the fight over apartheid and white rule
rages, but does anyone know of thoughful and critical analyses
of the likely scenarios for southern Africa?  I'd appreciate any
information received.
