UN General Assembly

183. The Heads of African States and Governments meeting at Addis Ababa formally called upon the allies of the colonial Powers to choose between their friendship for the African peoples and their support for the Powers now oppressing those peoples. The peoples of Africa were astounded by the attitude of those allies in the Security Council during the recent debates on Portuguese colonialism, the policies of apartheid and the situation in Southern Rhodesia. It is the duty of an anxious Africa to ask the Government of the United States of America, the United Kingdom and France, from this rostrum, whether that is their reply to the appeal of Addis Ababa.
