121. Oman shares common aspirations and hopes with the African continent, which is seeking a solution to the explosive situation in South Africa. Oman condemns apartheid, the universally deplored policy being carried out by the Government of South Africa. We look forward to the day when the people of Namibia will be able to exercise fully its right to self-determination and independence. We hope that the efforts of the group of Western States which is engaged in talks on this question will, against all the odds, be brought to a successful conclusion. 122. Oman calls on the international community to make further efforts to ensure the fulfilment of the aspirations of the African peoples to independence and liberty, and to oppose all attempts by foreign Powers to intervene in their internal affairs or to drag them into their spheres of influence.
