173. However, the situation prevailing in Angola appears to us to be of great concern, all the more so since that country is located within the limits of southern Africa, with its endless problems and repercussions. While that country is preparing to accede to independence, the internecine struggles among its liberation movements are already compromising the future of the State for which they have fought. We hope that the attempts now being made within the framework of the Organization of African Unity [OA U] to calm rivalries and unite the liberating forces will be crowned with speedy success. We appeal to all the leaders of the Angolan movements to put aside their resentments and rancor and rise above their temporary differences, pursuing the single goal of achieving the independence for which they have already made so many sacrifices, and rejecting any foreign intervention which would constitute a serious threat in the future to the sovereignty of the Angolan State which they intend to build.
