AHG/Res. 124 (XX)
RESOLUTION ON SOUTH AFRICA
The Assembly of Heads of State and Government of the Organization of African
Unity, meeting in its Twentieth Ordinary Session in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, from 12 –
15 November, 1984,
Having examined the report of the 42nd Co-ordination Committee for the
liberation of Africa,
Gravely concerned at the continuing deteriorating situation in Southern Africa,
precipitated by the Pretoria regime’s escalating campaign of bloody repression and
terror against the people of South Africa and their National Liberation Movement, as
well as its continued mounting aggression, destabilization and subversion against the
Frontline and other States in Southern Africa,
Outraged by the Pretoria regime’s mass murder of defenseless students and
workers on strike and demonstrators protesting against slave wages, inferior education
and deprivation of nationality of the indigenous African people, as well as the regime’s
new constitution designed to break the unity of the black people and further entrench
white minority rule and apartheid,
Indignant at the regime’s recent use of thousands of its fascist troops to besiege
Sebokeng and other African townships to intimidate the African population as part of
the terror campaign which has already claimed the lives of over 200 black South
African patriots,
Recalling the communiqué of the Heads of State and government of the Frontline
States in April 1984 which inter-alia appealed for active participation in the struggle
against the Pretoria regime by all nations, organizations and institutions,
Concerned at the continuing collaboration with and active support extended to
the Pretoria regime by certain Western countries especially the United States of
America through its policy of so-called constructive engagement,
