Eighteen member nations paid or pledged amounts totaling $892,960
for aid to the peoples of Southern Africa on the occasion of the
International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.
Dr. Ralph Abernathy, President of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, told the United Nations Committee on Apartheid
that the crisis in Southern Africa should have urgent attention.
He said "it is a crises of racial oppression openly aided and
abetted by political, military and economic interests of some
major powers, including the United States.
New York Times
March 25, 1972
FACTS:
For a peaceful change to take place in the Portuguese Territories,
the Western Pcv/ers (USA) in particular must stop arming Portugal.
For continuing to support Portugal within and outside NATO, means
increasing violancc in Southern Africa.
Portugal says that Angola, Mozambique and Guino. Bissau are integral parts of Portugal, hence, droping napalm bombs in these
"overseas provinces'1 means droping them in their own sphere of
influence.
Western support of Portuguese colonial wars are based on the fact
that their interest in Southern Africa is on material resources
rather than human resources which contradicts their beliefs of
"democracy, freedom and independence of all people.
Excerpts from a statement from Senator Edward
Kennedy on Senator Resolution 21^-to reconsider
the executive agreement with Portugal, March 4, 1972
SELF-DETERMINATION FOR AFRICAN PEOPLE????????????????
Last December the administration agreed to guarantee Portugal
half a billion dollars for projects that may ultimately go to support
their colonial wars in Angola, Mozambique and Guinea Bissau.
Five days after Mrs. Nixon returned from a tour of black
Africa, the Administration announced a $^8.6 million loan guarantee for South Africa to purchase locomotives from the- Generad
Motors Corporation. . •
Early in the Kennedy Administration United States officials
encouraged Portugal tc establish a goal of self-determination among
the peoples of the Portuguese colonies. We had begun tc set policies
for using our non-military resources to nudge Portugal toward a
program of reapproachment. Since then it appears that the United
States has moved further and further away from efforts to persuade
Portugal to take steps leading to self government in its African
territories.
