UN General Assembly
1964

Though we were tied up with our internal struggle at home against an imposter Government, we could not but applaud and associate ourselves completely with the resolutions of the Arab Summit Conference. They were the most serious decisions ever taken by an Arab gathering in respect of this very much misunderstood question and we, in the Sudan, are determined to give those resolutions teeth and meaning. It is up to the United Nations, however, to see that justice is done and that its own resolutions, at least, these resolutions, are implemented. There is no Arab State which is out deliberately to disturb the peace of the world, but there is not one single Arab country willing to watch this situation evolve towards the destruction of our way of life. We have not fought the imperialists over the years to succumb to a minion of theirs in the end.
