 In the Middle East the new leader of Palestine, President Arafat and the dictator of Libya, Colonel Gaffadi together call for a stronger Arab world. They are realistic enough to understand that the United Arab Republic can’t come back but after gaining support from other Arab leaders in 1973 the Arab League and Arab Community are abolished and instead a new Arab Confederation is created from all the Arab states. This would be lose confederal alliance but would help to further cultural, economic and political links in the region. Many Arab University programmes are formed and a new generation of Arab people is brought up in a peaceful and prosperous world where harmony and co-operation is the key. After the horrific plague in Egypt a whole region had turned away from violence. In Egypt under President Sadat the country was still recovering from the shock of the horrific plague. Most of the dead had occurred in Cairo and strangely the deaths had one silver lining. Cairo was much less built up city and most of the slums with American aid had been demolished. In the Saudi Republic (actually called the Arabian Democratic Republic) there was a small but vocal monarchist movement but after the Aircraft Incident and the widespread tales of debauchery and decadence in the royal palaces had irretrievably destroyed any populist demand for the return of the monarchy.
-After the Great Indian War India along with its strategic reserves of former AIR oil had boomed with an ambitious industrialisation campaign. India also become slightly more authoritarian and economically dominated the rump west Pakistan. Despite small Chinese and American aid Pakistan had a massive budget deficit and was more of less bankrupt. Forced to accept Indian handouts it became an unwilling semi-client of its bigger neighbour India. Bangladesh was much more friendly with India but remained a unstable and poor state economically dependant on Indian capital. In effect India was the dominant state in the Indian subcontinent. Finally in southern Africa South Africa and its Rhodesian ally were in deep trouble. The Portuguese independence of its colonies had made whole new lengths of the border of Apartheid South Africa and Rhodesia guerrilla frontiers. The ZANU and ZAPU rebel groups were also fighting a ruthless battle with the Rhodesian army. Nambia was illegally under the control of South Africa while Angola was a minor civil war with the communist/leftist government fighting South African supported anti-government rebels. To the north in Ethiopia the new soviet leadership were much more encouraging to revolutionary Marxists than Beria and the ex emperor had been overthrown. Ethiopia was a pro-soviet ally and other states were also seemingly pro-soviet. The Americans fought back in Africa in this regional cold war but it wasn’t seen as the biggest priority for the American administration. The later part of the seventies will be a new worldwide depression and renewed economic, social and political tensions in the two Superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union.
