Notes and topics

Schoenman, writing to the editor of The Guardian, responds to criticisms of his earlier published letter concerning Africa; see document .178699, record 66822.

Schoenman reiterates his evidence concerning human rights violations in Morocco and the Cameroons, citing concurring reports in Le Monde. Schoenman concludes his letter by stating that his "... argument that Western newspapers are indifferent to violence and injustice in client states is well borne out."

On the verso of this copy, in Schoenman's hand, are various translations, presumably from Akan, the predominant indigenous language in Ghana.

Present are two copies of the letter, documents .178705 and .178706, both TL(CAR). The faintest TL(CAR) is "signed" "Ralph A. Mafufnik Schoenman".
