| adam_text | How the Cold War «ante to Africa—
and everybody lost
When the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks
(SALT) between the Soviet Union and the
United States faltered during the adminis¬
tration of Jimmy Carter, National Security
Advisor
Zbigniew Brzeziński
claimed that
SALT lies buried in the sands of the Oga-
den. How did superpower
détente
survive
Vietnam but stumble in the Horn of Africa?
Historian Louise Woodroofe takes Brzez-
inski s claim as a starting point to analyze
superpower relations during the 1970s, and
in so doing she reveals how conflict in East
Africa became a critical turning point in the
ongoing Cold War battle for supremacy.
Despite representing the era of
détente,
the
1970s
superficially appeared to be one of
Soviet successes and American setbacks. As
such, the Soviet Union wanted the United
States to recognize it as an equal power.
However, Washington interpreted
détente as
a series of agreements and compromises de¬
signed to draw Moscow into an international
system through which the United States
could exercise some control over its rival,
particularly in the Third World. These dif¬
fering interpretations would prove to be the
inherent flaw of
détente,
and nowhere was
this better demonstrated than in the conflict
in the Horn of Africa in
1974-78.
The Ogaden War between Ethiopia and
Somalia involved a web of shifting loyal¬
ties, as the United States and Soviet Union
alternately supported both sides at different
points. Woodroofe explores how the war
represented a larger debate over U.S. for¬
eign policy, which led Carter to take a much
harder line against the Soviet Union. In a
Continued on back flap
Continued from front flap
crucial post-Vietnam test of U.S. power, the
American foreign policy establishment was
unable to move beyond the prism of compe¬
tition with the Soviet Union.
The conflict and its superpower involve¬
ment turned out to be disasters for all
involved, and many of the regions current
difficulties trace their historic antecedents
to this period. Soviet assistance propped
up an Ethiopian regime that terrorized its
people, reorganized its agricultural system to
disastrous effects in the well-known famines
of the 1980s, and kept it one of the poorest
countries in the world. Somalia s defeat in
the Ogaden War started its descent into a
failed state. Eritrea, which had successfully
fought Ethiopia prior to the introduction of
Soviet and Cuban assistance, had to endure
more than a decade of additional repression.
Louise P. Woodroofe is a historian in the
Office of the Historian at the U.S. Depart¬
ment of State, where she focuses on U.S. for¬
eign policy toward
postcolonial
Africa. She
earned her Ph.D. from the London School of
Economics and Political Science from which
she also holds an M.A. She has a B.A. in his¬
tory from Yale.
