South Africa offered safe passage out of Namibia for nationalist guerrillas fighting South African-led security forces in the territory, but the South-West Africa People’s Organization (SWAPO) rejected the offer. SWAPO said its guerrillas should be confined to bases in Namibia, not in Angola. South Africa referred to a December agreement with Angola and Cuba providing for disarmament of SWAPO rebels at Angolan bases, along with a phased withdrawal of Cuban troops from Angola.
