UN General Assembly
1972

243. The People's Republic of the Congo, as well as Africa as a whole, is no longer under any illusion about the role of the United Nations as it is being shaped by the imperialist Powers. We have already learned the lesson that it is only by their own struggle that our peoples have won the right to enter this Assembly. The same is true for those who today claim their right to live. The impotence of our Organization compels them to have recourse to the on the path left open to them, that is to say, to take up arms. It is not our resolutions but their victories over Portuguese colonialism which will enable Angola, Mozambique and Guinea (Bissau) to regain their legitimate rights.
