dc.descriptionIssue 3055 of West Africa Magazine (February 19, 1976) covers OAU's Angola dilemma, African food security, and regional updates. Published in London/distributed in Apapa, it reports on OAU summit, Ghana's plans, and Liberia's presidency. Key stories: “Did OAU Survive” questions Angola recognition; “What Happened” reports OAU summit outcome; “A rich harvest” highlights food security. Elsewhere: books on Ghana (Books), Liberia's Tolbert legacy (Tolbert's legacy), and Ghana's return to civil rule (Dateline Africa). A mix – politics, economics, and food security.
dc.description.abstract■ Did OAU Survive Angola?: Why did the 22 countries who arrived at the OAU summit meeting in Addis Ababa without having recognised the MPLA in Angola go away again without changing their minds? ■ What Happened at Addis?: The emergency OAU summit on Angola, finally held in Addis Ababa from January 10-13, ended without a decision. ■ A rich harvest aheads?: Africa needs more food but cannot afford to import it — therefore Africa must grow more food. Weather conditions per mitting — intensive cultivation using chemical fertilisers is the most expedient short term (and long term) approach to growing sufficient food and to mitigate the possibility of future shortages. ■ Books and publications: The glory of Ghana: West African Weaving, by Venice Lamb ■ Tolberts'legacy Tolbert: After finishing the four year term as President for which the late President Tubman was originally elected, Dr. William Tolbert is beginning the eight-year term for which he was himself elected last year. A correspondent attempts to answer the question: what economic legacy does the first term hand over to the second? ■ Dateline Africa: Ghana: Planning return to civil rule: The SMC is preparing a pro gramme for a return to civilian rule. Col. Achcampong told a news conference called to mark the beginning of the events celebrating the fourth anniversary of the January 13 Revolution. However, he said, it was unwise to set any firm deadline now; as soon as the programme was ready it would be announced
