Organization of African Unity (OAU) who is now visiting the front-line States, has asked me to express to the Coun- cil Africa’s renewed confidence that the Council will now do everything in its power to make South Africa see rea- son. The credibility of the Council is at stake, as is the consolidation of international peace and security. 114. It is with great resolution that Africa comes to the Council once again. Our continent would far prefer peace and security so that it might be able to devote all of its resources, human and otherwise, to development. The most recent summit meeting of the OAU gave proof of this. 115. Once again flouting the principle of respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of States, the racist South African regime has, after a pause of only two weeks, attacked and violated southern Angola, thereby demon- strating in how little esteem it holds the decisions of the Council. 116. Only a few days ago, the Council, deciding to shoulder fully its responsibilities under the Charter of the United Nations, strongly condemned the South African racist regime for the act of aggression it committed on 16 September against the People’s Republic of Angola and demanded the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of all South African military forces from the territory of Angola. Thus South Africa’s determination to defy the international community, including those Powers that had hoped that reason might prevail, is more obvious than ever. 11 117. By openly implementing its policy of aggression against the independent neighbouring States, the South African regime is practising an imperialism so overt that it no longer needs describing. It has even had the effrontery to presume to speak and to decide on behalf of the sover- eign people of Angola.
