and your colleagues of the Security Council for allowing me to participate in this important debate. I am particu- larly grateful to Comrade Leandre BassolC, representative of Burkina Faso, for his timely initiative in facilitating my appearance before the Council. 13. I speak in the name of the oppressed but struggling Namibian people and the Central Committee of our move- ment to express the unflinching support and militant soli- darity of SWAP0 to the fraternal people and the Government of the People’s Republic of Angola, which have come once again, for the third time within a short period of time, to lodge yet another complaint before the Council about a massive armed aggression launched by the racist Pretoria regime against their national territory. 14. ‘Angola, a sovereign and independent country and a State Member of the United Nations, has known no peace since the victory of the revolution in 1975. The imperial- ists, the racists and their mercenary bands of Angolan traitors and those recruited abroad which are being directed by the apartheid regime in its continuing cam- paign of terror throughout southern Africa and beyond, have, over these many years, subjected Angola to all sorts of criminal acts which, in the language of the Charter of the United Nations, clearly constitute a serious threat to the peace, breach of the peace and aggression against that peaceful country. 15. Had it not been for the repeated abuse of the veto power by certain Western permanent members of the Council, aimed at protecting the racist rulers of the evil apartheid system and their own misguided economic inter- ests in the region, the Security Council would long ago have imposed binding economic sanctions and other effec- tive enforcement measures under the Charter, against racist South Africa to restore peace and security in and around Angola. 
**Analysis**
The text appears to be a speech or statement made by a representative of a political organization or government, likely from the 1980s given the reference to the "apartheid regime" and the "People's Republic of Angola". The speech is focused on the topic of international politics, specifically the conflict between Angola and South Africa, and the role of the United Nations in addressing this issue. The language used is formal and diplomatic, with references to international law and organizations.
