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. 98. The lack of sincerity of the racist Rgime of Pretoria regarding the search for a genuine solution and for peace in the region is increasingly manifest. 99. But while the Angolan Government has been show- ing its traditional good will, negotiating with the South African Government on the holding of a meeting at the ministerial level, Pretoria’s aggressive military machine has, since January 1985, under the direction of Major- General Liebenberg, Commander of Special Forces, been Planning Operation Argon, aimed at destroying the Malollgo oil complex in Cabinda province. They thoL1g~~t that in that way they would force tile legitimate GoveI’ll- merit of Angola to submit to their will and to the will ol’thc Puppet gangs of UNITA (National Union for the Total Jndependence of Angola), tQ whom the operation would be attributed if it were successful. To carry out this machiavel- lian operation and experienced group of Pretoria’s special forces was chosen, one belonging to the 40th Regiment of the Special Forces of the SADF [South African Defcncc Force], which has its training camp at the Bav of’Saldanh~~.
