UN General Assembly
1975

The fight that is going on there would not have taken so long had it not been for Powers outside Africa. The bullets fired are not African bullets, nor are they provided by Africans. They are sold or given away by those who make them, not for the sake of goodness, but for ulterior motives. Angola has become a latter-day Congo because it is as wealthy. Outside Powers are unable to let it be. It is coveted by many. The streets of Luanda are cluttered with many a corpse like that of Lumumba. I hope I am not being too much of a visionary if I say that the whites in the area, led by South Africa and abetted by like-minded whites outside the continent, are trying to prevent an inevitable eventuality: independence.
