The racist Rhodesian regime under Ian Smith had close ties to the 
apartheid regime in South Africa and its Bureau of State Security. It 
should come as no surprise-- even to readers exclusively imbibing the 
"Western press" (including such right-wing propaganda outlets as 
Soldier of Fortune) -- that the anti-colonialist and nationalist 
parties and their military wings developed their own intelligence and 
counter-intelligence agencies in the armed struggles then supported 
by the Soviet bloc and the Chinese, and that they coordinated their 
work and shared intelligence in Angola, Guinea, Bissau, Namibia, 
Mozambique, Zimbabwe and South Africa from the 1960s on, culminating 
in the defeat of apartheid. The more interesting question begged is 
the extent of collaboration of the security services of the newly 
independent states after liberation: e.g., the degree to which some 
international cooperation survived and transcended national lines of 
authority, including the recruitment and penetration of the state 
security services by their former enemies.
