AHG/Res. 105 (XIX)
SPECIAL RESOLUTION ON NAMIBIA
The Assembly of Heads of State and Government of the Organization of African
Unity, meeting in its Nineteenth Ordinary Session in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, from 6 to
12 June, 1983,
Having considered the developments on the Namibian situation since the
adoption of the Security Council Resolution 435 (1978):
1. STRONGLY CONDEMNS racist South Africa for its continued obstruction
of Namibia’s independence and persistent refusal to comply with Security
Council decisions and General Assembly resolutions on Namibia;
2. VIEWS WITH UTMOST CONCERN the attempt to introduce extraneous
elements to the Untied Nations Plan on Namibia as contained in Resolution
435 (1978).
In this respect categorically reject the so-called linkage or
parallelism and view the insistence on these extraneous elements as
undermining the current efforts towards the implementation of United
Nations Security Council Resolution 435 by holding the freedom and
independence of the people of Namibia hostage to the presence of Cuban
forces in Angola, and also consider such an insistence as flagrant interference
in the internal affairs of a sovereign State, the People’s Republic of Angola;
3. STRONGLY CONDEMNS all direct and indirect manoeuvres aimed at
delaying Namibia’s accession to independence by distorting the United
Nations Plan for the settlement of the Namibian question and deviating from
the objectives of the said Plan;
4. HAILS the courageous struggle of the heroic people of Namibia under the
leadership of SWAPO, their sole, authentic and legitimate representative and
renews the pledge of the Organization of African Unity Member States to
continue rendering all-round support and material assistance, including
military and financial assistance, to SWAPO to enable it to further intensify
the armed struggle, under the banner of the People’s Liberation Army of
Namibia, its military wing;
