During the decade of the 1970 's, the German Democratic
Republic (GDR) became a major Communist bloc actor on the
African continent. While neither as visible nor as numerous
as Soviet and Cuban personnel, East German activity in Africa
has steadily increased. Yet, Western analysts have been slow
to recognize, or acknowledge, the expanding East German
presence in Africa.
