TOTALITARIANISM AND DEMOCRACY
Wherever there is wealth in Africa there is the white man
choking off every form of African political movement and opposition. Hs
fixes his claws in deeply and makes himself an immovable rock in order to
continue to exploit the natives for a long period of time. With an arsenal of formidable modern weapons, supplied by his kilt and kin outside
Africa, he oppresses the people more and more. This is happening in
Angola, Mozambique, Guinea, so-call Portuguese South Africa and Rhodesia.
Many Africans born in those countries are now being made "diasporas", men
without homes, countries and family, just because their countries are
rich in natural resources.
Yet governments of these types still arrogantly claim to be
democratic and their claims have material and moral support of the biggest
powers^ For instance, Portugal under Dr. Antonio de Oliveira Salazar's
regime is a blatant dictatorship and an obvious enemy of democracy.
Salazar's Portugal is not different from Stalin's Russia and Hitler's
Germany. The only difference is that whereas Stalin and Hitler were
loathed by the democracies, Salazar proudly rules with their full support.
Why is the tyranny of 1944 now palatable to the democracies? The same
people, who were shocked by the barbarism of Dachau, by the exterminations
in the war in the Ukraine, now do not 'bat an eye' when Salazar perpetrates the same crimes in Africa,
When President Wilson fathered self-determination as a principle
of international politics, a new order of standards came into being.
Article 73 of the UN Charter states: "Members of the United Nations which
have or assume responsibilities for the administration of territories
where peoples have not yet attained a full measure of self-government
recognize the principle that the interests of the inhabitants of these
territories are paramount, and accept as a sacred trust the obligation to
promote to within the system of international peace and security established by the present Charter the wellbeing of the inhabitants of these
territories, and, to his end: to develop self-government, to take due
account of the political aspirations of the peoples and to assist them in
progressive development of their free political institutions." 1/
But Fortugal with impunity flouts both the Charter and the
Wilsonian principles and the Teheran Agreement of 1943 whereby Churchill,
Roosevelt and Stalin agreed to cooperate with all nations, large and small,
in eliminating tyranny, slaves, oppression and intolerance. Some of the
colonizers' rules in. Africa where the natives have not yet achieved self- .;.
government are just as inhuman as that of the worst oppressors. Racial
discrimination, murder, assassination, arrests, deportation, whippings
are rife with the Africans as victims.
