The Suppression of Alternative Medical Therapies 61
By the end of 1976, the Zairian leader had reconciled his differences with
the American intelligence and corporate communities believing that Zaire
would continue to reap his non-communist allies' social and economic aid.
On April 4, 1977, Mobutu suspended diplomatic relations with Cuba; on
April 21, reduced ties with the Soviet Union; and on May 2, he cut ties with
East Germany. 46 Meanwhile, according to John Stockwell, Former Chief of
the CIA's Angola Task Force, "the United States was exposed, dishonored
and discredited in the eyes of the world," as "15,000 Cubans were installed
in Angola" 40 despite the CIA's best efforts and a continuing policy of lying
"to State Department officials, Congressmen, American press, and world
public opinion in varying degrees, depending on the need" about the CIA's
covert military campaign in Angola and Zaire. 39
Throughout 1976 and 1977, Mobutu, NATO, and the CIA, constrained
by the Tunney, Cranston and Clark amendment which prevented the
expenditure of American funds in Zaire/Angola, except to gather intelligence,
39 remained embroiled in the "Shaba rebellion" against allegedly
Russian-backed "Katangan rebels." 46
At the same time, perhaps not coincidentally, NATO ally West Germany
was pouring financial aid into Zaire and white ruled South Africa. 47-49 The
Northeast region of Zaire, believed to be the epicenter of the AIDS epidemic,
was specifically targetted for West German economic aid and
industrialization. 50
The "long tradition of friendship between Germans and South
Africans" London's African Development noted, "dates back from the
first waves of white immigrants to South Africa and the feeling of solidarity
between Germans and Afrikaners during the Boer War, continuing
throughout the First World War and then the Second World War. Many of
today's Nationalist leaders in Pretoria," the paper reported, "were Nazi
sympathizers: many ex-Nazis settled in South Africa after 1945 . . ." 48
THE WEST GERMAN COMPANY OTRAG
Not surprising then, on March 26, 1976 Mobutu signed what the British
Broadcasting Company (BBC) reported was a "secret agreement" with
the West German company OTRAG (Orbital Transport-und Raketen-
Aktiengesellschaft) to lease 260,000 square kilometers—essentially the
complete Kivu province—for military/industrial purposes for the sum of
DM 800,000,000 (approximately $250 million at that time). 51 " 54 The contract
"made OTRAG sovereign over territories once inhabited by 760,000
people" 54 in the Eastern and South-central portion of Zaire. The leased
property positioned North of the Shaba militarized region, expanded
Southeast along the Congo River—the countries main waterway, and
south of the Kinshasa highway—better known as the "AIDS Highway"
