| A recently de-classified US State Department document points out that from the early 1960s onwards in an effort to exert a positive and non-violent influence on the liberation movements the US government adopted several programmes. The aims of the SASP (Southern African Students Program) and the EATP (East African Training Program) were: (1) to train southern African refugees in occupations other than armed insurgency and (2) to encourage the various liberation movements away from over-dependence on Sino-Soviet assistance. Nesbitt gives a comprehensive list of donors in the political, religious and commercial areans. |
