USSR troops
feel failure
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) —
Soviet troops came to Afghanistan
“with open hearts” to perform an
honorable task and now leave with
a feeling of failure, a Red Army
general says.
But Maj. Gen. Lev Serebrov said
Sunday that the Soviets*
withdrawal after nine years in Af-
ghanistan compared favorably with
the U.S. exit from Vietnam.
“Your generals ran away from
Saigon," he told an American
reporter at a news briefing. “But
we have a withdrawal that is
proceeding according to a
timetable."
Serebrov, dressed in camouflage
uniform and chain-smoking, said
Soviet officers were communicat-
ing with guerrilla commanders on
pans of die Salang highway, the
mam route to the Soviet border, to
try to keep it open so supplies can
get through to die embattled Af-
ghan capital.
He said a guerrilla blockade had
forced Kabul s residents to rely on
Soviet airlifts for food.
“We have not succeeded in
everything we planned to do here,”
said Serebrov, a political officer at
the military high command in
Kabul. “We came here with an
honorable task, with open hearts ...
Wc arc leaving and we have a sense
of not having accomplished our
mission to the end.”
Under a U.N.-mediated accord
signed in April, the Soviets’
100,000 troops began leaving Af-
ghanistan on May IS, and half were
out by Aug. 15. The remainder are
to leave by Feb. 15.
The Soviets, who have lost more
than 13,300 men in the conflict, an-
nounced late last year they had in-
definitely suspended the
withdrawal of remaining troops be-
cause of continued U.S. and Pakis-
tani aid to the guerrillas.

Soviets to have
activist on ballot
MOSCOW (AP) — The confus-
ing new Soviet election system
could pit human rights activist
Andrei D. Sakharov in a campaign
battle against a member of the
ruling Politburo and another Com-
munist who ran afoul of party lead-
ers.
“I believe a more democratic
mechanism of nominating can-
didates is needed,” said Sakharov,
who was selected both as a Mos-
cow district and at-large candidate
for a the new 2,250-member Con-
gress of People’s Deputies.
More than 900 people jammed
into a meeting Sunday that un-
animously nominated the Nobel
Peace Prize-winning physicist for
the at-Large post in the March 26
elections, an activist said. At least
500 people wailed outside the has-
tily organized session at the House
of Filmmakers.
Yuri Mityunov, a participant,
said a city Election Commission
member told the meeting that
Politburo member Vitaly I.
Vorontmkov and Moscow's
deposed Communist Party leader,
Boris Yeltsin, were running for the
same at-large seat.
The still-popular Yeltsin sacked
as Moscow party boss in 1967 for
his outspoken criticism of conser-
vatives he blamed for the slow pace
of reforms.
The possible campaign battle
among Sakharov, Vorontnikov and
Yeliskin and the scramble among
thousands of candidates nationwide
depends on twists and turns in the
new political system charted by
President Mikhail S. Gorbachev.
The new congress, announced in
December by Gorbachev, will meet
annually and choose the Soviet
president and members of a new.
smaller and more active sitting par-
liament. or Supreme Soviet.
One third of the deputies are to
be chosen from candidates
nominated not on traditional basis
of geographic districts but from the
party, unions, professional or-
ganizations and other officially
recognized groups.
Candidates may not espouse
views contrary to die constitution,
which enshrines the Communist
Party as the leading force in Soviet
society.
Rank-and-file party members
nominated 31,500 candidates for
100 aeats. But on Jan. 10 the
policy-making Central Committee
recommended 100 of them and the
Pohtbuftrpunhem on the ballot
Sakharov, 67, was rejected as a
candidate by the prestigious
Academy of Sciences last week,
causing an mgry protest by his op-
workers at the Lebedev Institute of
Physics. They then nominated him
as a candidate from Moacow's Ok-
tyabr district
With his selection as an at-large
candidate, Sakharov must now
make is> his mind which seat he
will seek.
withdrawal had resumed in earnest
in early January. _
But hundreds of fully equipped
Soviet troops arc daily seen board-
ing giant Ilyushin 76 transport
aircraft that lift them out of Kabul
and Afghan government troops now
man former Soviet posts on the
perimeter of this beleaguered capi-
tal, not far from guerrilla positions.
Asked Itow the Soviets planned
to evacuate all troops within 3*/i
weeks in bitter vyinter weather,
Serebrov said; ‘‘That’s our prob-
lem.”
Pressed about visual evidence of
troops leaving, Serebrov, speaking
through an interpreter, argued that
the departing troops had merely
completed their two-year military
service and “are being replaced
with new ones."
”Wc are ready ... to end the
withdrawal by Feb. 15, but we have
not yet received the order to start
the final stage of withdrawal,” he
said.
He dodged questions about
reports, including from one Soviet
source in Kabul, that the military
high command will move from the
Afghan capital to the town of
Hairatan on the Soviet border be-
tween Jan. 31 and Feb. 2.
Asked how the commanders will
go if they remain in Kabul until the
deadline, he said. “We will find a
way."
The Red Army intervened in Af-
ghanistan in December 1979 and
replaced one pro-Moscow regime
with another. Moslem guerrillas
have been fighting the government
since the communist seized power
in an April 1978 coup.
As the Soviets have left, the
guerrillas have closed in on Kabul,
raising fears of a bloodbath once
Afghanistan’s conscript army is led
alone
“There could be some instability
... but I don't think it will be criti-
cal." Serebrov said

LIES OF LONELINESS
I alone am left; and they seek to take my life.
1 Kings 19:10
IONEUNESS can distort the way we look at things
L* and make us think we have been forsaken by God
and by others After Elijah defeated the prophets of
Baal, he learned that Jezebel was threatening his life. In
fear, he fled to the wilderness, where the Lord asked
him. “What are you doing here?" His answer reveals his
loss of perspective. Brave, faithful, zealous Elijah
answered. “I alone am left; and they seek to take my
life " Thousands of Israelites had been willing to stand
with him against Ahab and Jezebel (I Kin. I8:39).'yet
Qijah was lonely. He was not really alone, however God
was with him, helping to bring him out of h« loneliness
A godly woman whose young child had died was
filled with deep sadness. To find comfort, she kept
reminding herself. “God lives.* When a second child
was taken from her. she continued to be assured
“Comfort dies, but God lives ’ But when her husband
died, her despair seemed overwhelming. Her last child,
recalling what her mother had said previously asked.
“Is God dead. Mother? Is God dead?" The Holy Spirit
used those words to touch her heart. She realized anew
that God. who had been with her all along, had not left
her alone — even in this severe trial
What crisis are you facing? Does it make you feel
lonely? Remind yourself that God lives and that He said
"I will never leave you nor forsake you* (Heb 13:5) He
will never let you be alone. — p R V
Though all around me is darkness
And earthly joys have flou>n.
My Savior whispers His promise —
Het'er to leai>e me alone. — Anon
Loneiness is being unaware
of the One who is wtth us everywhere
