**Analysis**
The text primarily discusses political and diplomatic efforts to address the apartheid system in South Africa and the situations in Namibia, Afghanistan, and Kampuchea. It touches on economic measures, such as sanctions, but the focus is on international relations, politics, and humanitarian concerns rather than economic development or specific sectors like industry or agriculture.
