164. The situation in southern Africa, by far the largest remaining colonial enclave and the most significant in terms of population, presents a totally different picture. To those who in the past have had honest doubts, it should now be abundantly clear that we are no longer confronted in that part of the world with Portuguese colonialism, racism in South Africa, the usurpation of an international territory in South West Africa, and the rebellion of the white settlers in Rhodesia — each defiance, as it were, on its own — but with an unholy alliance of these forces, not only in the political arena but decidedly also in the military field, in a master design to frustrate all United Nations decisions. This alliance is buttressed by trade with the West, and by the sustenance provided to it by international finance. This bastion of colonialism in southern Africa also disposes a significant military power, much of it acquired either by open or secret purchase of arms from the major Powers in the West or provided by them through a military alliance.
