Violence on decline in S. Africa, but state of emergency to remain
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — Violent black opposition to aparthied is at a two-year low, but the government is not yet ready to lift its 9-month-old state of emergency, officials said yesterday.
"The number of unrest incidents during January and February is the lowest since December 1984," the official Bureau for Information said in a review of political violence.
A resident of Johannesburg's black Soweto township, the country's biggest ghetto and the scene of some of the worst violence in a $2^{th}$-year wave of racial unrest, said the apparent calm was artificial.
Underscoring that contention, police said officers in Cape Town yesterday shot and killed a suspected African National Congress activist who fired at them with a Soviet-made AK-47 automatic rifle.
President Pieter Botha imposed a state of emergency on June 12, restricting the activities of antigovernment groups and clamping tough censorship on the local and foreign press.
About 2,400 blacks have died in clashes with police and in political violence since September 1984 when the creation of a new Parliament triggered the nationwide uprising.
Nine African states condemn apartheid
CAIRO, Egypt — Nine African states yesterday condemned apartheid as a violation of human rights and said only full economic sanctions would force South Africa's white government to end its policy of racial separation.
The condemnation came in a joint statement issued at the conclusion of a one-day summit of the nine-member Coordinating Bureau of the Organization of African Unity.
The presidents of Egypt, the Congo, Sierra Leone, Zambia, Zaire, Djibouti and Uganda, and high-level delegations from Mali and Algeria, met for seven hours
at a suburban presidential palace.

The bureau cited the importance of a commission of leaders and governments of southern Africa to agree on a strategy for the struggle against the apartheid regime.
The group emphasized the need for the United Nations to fulfill its responsibility to assure independence for Namibia, currently administered by South Africa, and urged negotiations to end fighting between Chad and Libya in northern Chad. In addition, the statement called for an international conference to discuss Africa's foreign debt crisis.

Verification is the single issue delaying ratification of the Threshold Test Ban Treaty of 1974 and the Peaceful Nuclear Explosions Treaty of 1976. The treaties limit underground nuclear tests and other explosions to 150 kilotons
