**Analysis**
This text appears to be a political statement, condemning the actions of the South African government and calling for the elimination of the apartheid system. The language used is strong and emotive, with a focus on the human cost of the conflict and the need for international action. While there are some references to economic and social issues, such as the destruction of infrastructure and the impact on development, the primary focus is on the political and humanitarian aspects of the situation.
