Emperor Haile Selassie on 4 October, 1963 majestically stood before the United Nations General Assembly and told the world that: “until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned…that until the colour of a man’s skin is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes; that until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race… And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes that hold our brothers in Angola, in Mozambique and in South Africa in subhuman bondage have been toppled and destroyed…until that day, the African continent will not know peace. We Africans will fight, if necessary, and we know that we shall win, as we are confident in the victory of good over evil.”
