territory is still being occupied by Pretoria. Grave, because they are based on a so-called right of hot pursuit left over from colonial times, which the Pretoria regime presumes to exercise in its reaction against the national liberation struggle of the Namibian people. Grave also because they disregard the repeated condemnations and the frequent injunctions of the Security Council with regard to the Pre- toria regime, the most recent of which were issued barely two weeks ago. 61. Clearly the military escalation against the front-line countries is very closely connected with the upsurge of the national resistance of the South African people to the oppressive apartheid regime. Through these acts of desper- ation at the regional level, Pretoria is trying in vain to divert attention from the daily martyrdom of those strug- gling against apartheid and its illegal presence in Namibia. 62. Thus, a policy that was set up with the sole intention of stifling the legitimate desire to break the chains of domi- nation and oppression is being extended to the People’s Republic of Angola. Ever since that country espoused the cause ,of.freedom in that region, its territory, like the terri- tory of other States in southern Africa, has suffered from South African aggression. 63. Because southern Africa as a whole is paying the price of its commitment to freedom, it is the duty of the international community to lend its support in keeping with the dictates of a moral and political imperative. 64. The non-aligned countries, for their part, are cer- tainly shouldering their responsibilities in this regard. The reason they held their most recent ministerial meeting in southern Africa was to show once again their profound concern at the crisis situation that continues to affect that region and the dangers that it poses for international peace
