NOTE Tlee Assembly of the ORG}ANrZATION OF AFRCCAN LTvr"rY composed th,e presidents of Africa's states, 41 to date . floe COC?NCIT . Or llr~rsTErzs of flee states . The Council sets flee blue print ofactions to be taken. Z'lee f ollaze~i.ng are items concluded in the Fifth Session in Algiers, Capital of Algeria, North Africa, September 19G8 . The Council of Ministers of the OILGANrZATIO~T or ArttrcnN UNITY, meeting in its 11th Ordinary Session in Algeria, 1JB8, reaffirmed the inalienable rights of all people and territories of Africa to freedom and independence. Thev notice strangely however that the "Comoro Islands" ~ (in S. E. Africa, in Mozambique channel N. E. of 1\Iadagaska) are not on the list of colonial territories under the terms of the LT.N . declaration granting independence to colonial territories and peoples . That being the case, the Council called up the French Government to take immediate measures to enable the people of the "(7omoro Islands" to exercise their right to self-detf~rrnination and independence. It also directed African group at the I7.N. to press far the inclusion of those islands on the list of none-self-governing areas . And to make clear the position of Africa of complete "liberation of every inch" of African territories the Ministers ask the Secretary-General to put. the demands of the OAU before the U.N . Decolonization Committee to place the Comoro Islands on the list. The Canned of Ministers noted the reports of the; Administrative Secretary-General, the committee of five an Rhodesia as well as the report of the foreign ministers of Algeria, Senegal and Zambia and recalling 10 AFRICA SVMMIT CONFERENCE REPORTS - Continued From 1'reviatts Issue - Resolution on Rhodesia AID AFRICA NOW Committee, Inc. 2395 8th Ave. (Near 128th St .)

Ivhadesia's reluctance backed by neocolonialists to acquiesce to peaceful requests, forced the leaders of Africa to become seriously concerned . They look with apprehension especially over the continued grave and dangerous situation, particularly the systematic campaign of terror, acts of genocide and political murder carried out by the rebel minority regime against the African people with immunity . Patience Approaching Exhaustion At this time and lacking the atomic bomb, the anly thing the prattlers of democracy respect, the Council reaffirmed that the situation in Rhodesia constitutes a serious threat to international peace and security . It strongly reffirmed again and again the right of the people of Zimbabwe (Rhodesia) to freedom on the basis of majority rule, and the right to fight for national liberation . For those rights, two world wars were waged and the base upon which the I7.N. was built . Condemning the genocidal acts as crime against humanity, the statesmen called upon England again and again to topple the gangster minority rule by force of arms as she did in "Guiana" and in4 little "Anguilla." Foreign Settlers Warned They further condemned the non-African regime in South Africa for sending troops to fight the 7.ambians in their own land and told the European settlers to withdraw their mercenaries. It is presumed and hopefully so that the Africans' peaceful and friendly protestatians might be remembered when self-preservation compelled them to resort to prevailing means, when reason falls an deaf ears . It might be good for all concerned, if those settlers and their backers, to bear in mind the warning of the NOW ON THE RECORD The Powerful, Magnetic and Commanding Voice of MARCUS GARVEY Bluntly and clearly putting the position of his people before the world .
