However, because of adverse weather and dangerous conditions, the operation was scarcely stepped up despite the increase in the number of displaced people in the Narus area (20,000 by the end of June).

As a post-war emergency assistance operation, the ICRC, at the end of February, submitted to the Government of the People's Republic of Angola (RPA) a six-month medico-social programme to supplement the humanitarian activities which it had been carrying on for several months. In a letter on 13 April, the Angolan Prime Minister, Mr. Lopo do Nascimento, informed the ICRC of the Angolan Government's wish for assistance programmes for the Angolan people to be conducted by national agencies and particularly through the National Red Cross Society which was then being organized.

The Government

The fate of displaced persons in Angola continued to be of grave concern to the ICRC during the first weeks of the new year, all the more so as its efforts to provide food aid to the victims of the conflict situation were seriously hindered by the danger to which transport is exposed and by the impossibility of obtaining the authorities' agreement to allow the ICRC to work according to its customary procedure. The ICRC put forward concrete proposals both to the Government (in particular during the mission by the ICRC delegate-general for Africa, at the end of 1983) and to the directors of the “Angolan Red Cross”, with a view to resuming its normal assistance programmes. Unfortunately, these proposals had not produced any result by the end of February.

Phase Out

Under the London Agreements signed in December 1979, Zimbabwe became independent on 18 April 1980. With the end of the conflict the ICRC, which for many years had been active not only in the capital, Harare (formerly Salisbury), but also in the rest of the country and in a number of neighbouring States affected by the repercussions of the fighting, began gradually to phase out some of its activities (mainly medical and relief programmes), depending on developments of the local situation. Discussions are now taking place with the government, the National Red Cross Society and various welfare organizations on the practical measures to be adopted for handing over certain projects which had been until now under ICRC responsibility and are still necessary for the inhabitants' welfare.

At the beginning of June, the ICRC made a further appeal to governments and National Red Cross Societies for their material and financial support to continue its humanitarian activities for the victims of the conflicts in Africa. It requested, for the period from 1 July to 31 December,the sum of 35.8 million Swiss francs, equivalent to about 5 million Swiss francs per month. The ICRC warned prospective donors that, if no help was swiftly forthcoming, it would be compelled to reduce the activities of its delegations in various African countries, and that the consequences would mean considerable hardship for the people in need of ICRC aid.
