contribution to the establishment of a just and lasting peace in southern Africa. 96. Angola, in order to guarantee the speedy indepen- dence of the Namibian people, has put forward a platform for very realistic comprehensive negotiations to break the deadlock on the problem of Namibia. It has proposed a programme for reducing the number of Cuban troops on our territory, the main features of which are: first, comple- tion of the withdrawal of South African forces from the territory of Angola and control of its borders by the armed forces of Angola; secondly, a solemn declaration by South Africa commiting it to ensuring implementation of resolu- tion 435 (I 978); thirdly, a cease-fire agreement between the Republic of South Africa and SWAPO, the sole, legitimate representative of the Namibian people; and fourthly, the signing, under Council auspices, of an international agree- ment between the Governments of Angola, South Africa and Cuba and a representative of SWAPO, which would define the obligations assumed by each of the parties to assure the independence of Namibia and the guarantees necessary to preserve the security and territorial integrity of Angola. Meeting those requirements would be a major step towards the exercise by the Namibian people of its inalienable right to independence and towards the estab lishment of peace in the region. 97. However, despite the efforts and good will ofAngola and other front-line States, South Africa’s attitude con- tinues to be very hostile towards the international commu- nity. That attitude is made possible by the complicity and support it enjoys from certain Western Powers, which should be held directly responsible for the difficult situa- tion in southern Africa and for the policy ofState terrorism pursued by the racist rtgime of South Africa against neigh- bouring States.
