“During the Presidential election, Jimmy Carter made relatively few statements on the US involvement in Africa. In spite of his criticisms of Kissinger’s diplomatic style, on June 23, 1976, Carter told the New York Times: “I personally agree with
the recent posture taken by .Secretary Kissinger as it relates to Africa”. Senator Percy (Rep.-lllinois), a strong supporter of Kissinger’s southern Africa strategy,
successfully pressured Andrew Young to obtain Carter’s approval for a “bipartisan” American solution to the problems of Namibia and Zimbabwe.”
