analysis: The text appears to be a political document discussing the end of apartheid in South Africa. It mentions the release of political prisoners, the removal of troops from towns, and the repeal of restrictive laws. The tone is critical of the apartheid regime and emphasizes the importance of fundamental principles of democracy, such as majority rule and universal adult suffrage. The language used is formal and diplomatic, suggesting that the document may be a declaration or a statement from an international organization.
