We welcome the adoption of the resolution and c the members of the Council who voted in favour. t also be said that abstention means a polite no, but cannot say “no” to the will and determination of our valiant people to fight for their liberation. This is not the first time that those imperialist Powers have abstained in the vote and it will not be the last. However, outside this building the reality is different: the progressive peoples of the world community are taking positive actions in favour of our cause. Their actions are being organized and carried uut in active solidarity with our struggle and will eventu- ally force their Governments to see the light. I express the hope that those who abstained in the vote today will vote in favour the next time around, for we shall return. 66. There are many fronts on which to wage the struggle. We are committed to the total liberation of our mother- land, and in pursuit of that precious goal we are prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice to end colonial conquest and exploitation, until independence is achieved in our country. 67. The struggle continues, Victory is certain. The meeting rose at 6.35 p.m.
