W010234 RR8002 - Afghan Crisis WTN Afghanistan - 1980 and file An international crisis has resulted from the sending of tens of thousands of Soviet troops into Afghanistan. The Soviet Union insists the troops were sent at the request of the new Afghan government - many were in the country already under a friendship treaty. But Soviet troops took part in the coup which overthrew President Hafizullah Amin, and many more have arrived since the installation of Babrak Karmal as the new leader. Protests at the Soviet action have been widespread and strong. The United States has announced a number of reprisal measures, including a ban on wheat sales and electronic goods to the Soviet Union; the SALT arms limitation treaty is threatened; and there could even be a boycott of the Moscow Olympic Games.

W010238 RR8005 - Afghanistan Report WTN Afghanistan - 1980 and file Afghanistan remains a country at the centre of a worldwide furore. The summer olympics in Moscow are threatened by a boycott in protest against the influx of Soviet troops into Afghanistan. The United States leads the protests, and another Cold War looms in East-West relations. The world's Islamic countries have met in special session and condemned the Soviet action. Meanwhile, early reports of widespread clashes between Soviet troops and Afghan Moslem rebels have been discounted, with the Soviet forces maintaining a low profile. But they remain in large numbers, and they are not expected to leave in the near future.

W010277 RR8030A - Afghanistan Report WTN Afghanistan - 1980 and file Against the background to the boycott-affected Olympic Games in Moscow, the main cause of the boycott - the Soviet military intervention in Afghanistan - shows little sign of ending. The contingent of Soviet troops withdrawn by Moscow appears to have been replaced by others, and the main cities and roads are under the control of Russian and Afghan government forces. Outlying towns and villages sympathetic to the anti-Communist Moslem guerrillas - the Mujaheddin - have been bombed, forcing the fighters deep into the mountains. Hundreds of thousands of Afghans have crossed into Pakistan to avoid the fighting, and Mujaheddin groups wanting to return and fight find it increasingly difficult to do so because of the massive Soviet presence.
