text: Mr. Kenneth Towsey, and Mr. John Hooper. They have been operating that office singe the unilateral declaration of independence in 1965. One wonders, therefore, how serious some permanent members of the Security Council are when they proclaim to the world that they support United Nations action to put an end to the illegal regime in Rhodesia, We would again appeal to the United States Government to reconsider its action and close down those two offices and abandon the ill-fated open breach of sanctions. 26. There is today in southern Africa what actually amounts to a new form of slavery. What we have been trying to do all these years in the United Nations is to put an end to this slavery. This slavery is as odious, sordid and dehumanizing as that which men of faith and foresight campaigned against in the last century. People like Abraham Lincoln were faced with fierce opposition from racial fanatics, capitalists, and other vested interests, who were reaping enormous gains out of slavery, and it took a civil war in this country to put an end to slavery. 27. We cannot be expected to speak with moderation when it comes to the question of the enslavement of our people in Southern Rhodesia. That is because their enslave- ment is our enslavement. We cannot compromise with the evil forces which, in Southern Rhodesia, turn our people into chattels. We are up against what Prime Minister Heath has called ‘“the unpleasant and unacceptable face of capitalism”.

We equally know that for our people in Southern Rhodesia it brings humiliation, oppression, agony and poverty. We cannot abandon our brothers and sisters in 
analysis: The text is primarily focused on the political situation in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and the author's appeal to the international community to take action against the illegal regime and end the enslavement of the local population. The author uses strong language to condemn the situation and emphasizes the need for international action to put an end to it. The text does not explicitly discuss economic development, natural resources, or other specific categories.
