8. We feel confident that the lesson Portugal has learned over the last 13 years should sound a clear warning to the racialist minority regimes of South Africa and Rhodesia. Clearly, the wave of freedom is steadily and inevitably heading southwards towards Cape Town. But we are not so naive as to assume that the path will be an easy one. The odds are many and formidable. In southern Africa we see a paradoxical triangle of Zionism, racism and economic exploitation. There are many evil forces that feel that apartheid is the sole protector of their economic interests in southern Africa. Because of economic considerations, the Americans have allowed their allies in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, in connivance with Zionist interests, to perpetuate the racist regimes of southern Africa.
