Al Qadh@afi rges Black Revolution in U.S.
LD 17 Tripoli Domestic Service in Arabic 1330 GMT
25 Feb 85
[Text] The brother leader of the revolution spoke to the annual
conference of black Americans, Nation of Islam, held in Chicago
on the occasion of the day of salvation 1985 AD with a direct
address last night via satellite which was transmitted to about 60
countries.
The brother leader of the revolution at the beginning of his
address said: I want to congratulate you on this mass meeting of
the Nation of Islam in America. This is a historic opportunity to
speak directly to you and to express my full support and the
support of my country for your struggle for freedom, release from
bondage, and dignity.
The leader added: I am happy to see you with such power and to
see a determination with such a power which enabled you to
organize this mass meeting and to convene this great conference
as a symbol of challenge- the challenge to your racist enemies.
The brother leader explained in his address that America is not
just a land for whites only. Addressing the conference, he said:
Your black forefathers came to America long before white men
and you are an extension of our homeland and continent, Africa.
You have the right and the priority to America, to its resources
and its authority before white men. However, do not forget your
red Indian brothers who were there before the white.
The leader explained that unfortunately for the great nation of
red Indians it was destroyed by white men and America is still
destroying them now. The leader said: The blacks and the red
Indians are brothers-in-struggle against racism, the common
enemy, and the enemy of all of us. The leader said: We are with
you in your struggle because the cause of freedom is our common
cause. You and the red Indians are victims of racism. In order to
score a victory it is important to establish a strategic alliance
between blacks and red Indians.
The leader stressed that the whites "rejection" of black rights to
America, and refusal to treat them as equals and accept them as
American citizens in America force the blacks to set up an
independent state. In this connection the leader said: The whites
drove you to this because they politically and socially rejected
you and are oppressing you. This oppression will continue
because they decided to stay apart and keep America for the
whites. He pointed out that it is disgraceful that America, a great
country and major power, is committing such practices.
Addressing the blacks, he said: You have the right to struggle to
establish an independent state. You have more than 400,000
black soldiers in the American Army. This large [words indis-
tinct] means that they are trying to drive you to war in the interest
of the whites. He said: The right way is for those soldiers to leave
the American Army and to join your force to create black power.
He said: We support you in establishing an independent state and
an independent army; we are prepared to train and arm you. Your
cause is a just one because freedom is our cause and imperialism
our common enemy.
The leader stressed the impossibility ['adam istihalat] of defeat-
ing America. He pointed out that America was impotent when
its agents and symbols collapsed in Cuba, Nicaragua, and Iran.
He said: Revolution now is spreading and growing in Central
America and Latin America and is encircling America and
surrounding the stronghold of imperialism which is practicing
disgraceful policies and is applying racial policies.
The brother leader of the revolution in his address said: I am
certain, and I am full of hope, that our joint struggle will be
crowned with final victory for our just cause.
He expressed his confidence in the leadership of Brother Louis
Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam in America, who is
leading the battle for the escape from bondage. The brother
leader of the revolution urged blacks and red Indians to be a
cohesive force whether Muslim or Christian. The brother leader
of the revolution added that we will fight with the [words indis-
tinct] imperialism, colonialism and racism to get rid of exploita-
tion and oppression and that we have the right to freedom on
Earth and under the Sun.
He pointed out that if blacks are not Americans neither are
whites. Reagan is Irish and is not an American. Priority and
preference are for the blacks and the red Indians.
He said that America's President should come from the ranks of
red Indians or from the blacks. If they do not want you as
American citizens then you must fight to establish your indepen-
dent state and you have the right to do this. The red Indians must
be your allies, but they must have their independent state. The
leader pointed out the need to destroy this racist state, otherwise
freedom will be destroyed, the nation of Islam will be destroyed,
and the red Indian nation will be crushed.
The leader concluded his address by saying: We are with you. Do
not worry, trust us; we are your brethren. Racism and imperial-
ism are our common enemy. We shall fight together shoulder to
shoulder. Final victory is near.

Mengistu Sends Message
EA252121 Addis Ababa Domestic Service in Amharic
1700 GMT 25 Feb 85
[Text] The 41st ordinary session of the OAU Foreign Ministers
Council opened at Africa Hall this afternoon with a message
from Comrade Mengistu Haile Mariam, WPE [Workers Party
of Ethiopia] Central Committee secretary general, PMAC [Pro-
visional Military Administrative Council] chairman, and com-
mander in chief of the revolutionary Armed Forces, read to the
congress by Comrade Fikre-Selassie Wodgeress, WPE Central
Committee Politburo member and deputy chairman of the Coun-
cil of Ministers.
1P
In his message, the comrade secretary general said that in order
to contain the drought problem in Africa and to look for a lasting
solution, African countries should implement the Lagos plan of
action by taking individual and joint action. He added that
African countries must make great efforts to contain their prob-
lems. He stressed that the problem had become so complex, both
quantitatively and qualitatively, that it required international
cooperation and support. In his message, our comrade rev-
olutionary leader noted that, although the actions taken by the
international community are encouraging, some countries are
nevertheless trying to use the drought and famine problem as a
political weapon in pursuit of their political objectives. To curb
this, African countries should further strengthen their cooper-
ation.

After the brother leader concluded his address, Brother Louis
Farrakhan followed with a speech. He said: This address has
made this day a historic one. This is the first time in which an
African leader has spoken directly via satellite to the blacks'
conference and it is being relayed live to about 60 countries.
Many thanks to the Brother Leader Colonel Mu'ammar al-
Qadhdhafi.
The leader of the black Muslims, Louis Farrakhan had intro-
duced brother leader of the revolution before AI-Qadhdhafi
delivered his speech to the annual conference of black Americans
held in the city of Chicago with a speech in which he said:
In a short time a freedom fighter comrade will talk to you, he is
now standing 9,000 miles away [words indistinct]. He is Brother
Col Mu'ammar al-Qadhdhafi whom the world does not under-
stood; not because he is difficult to understand but because of his
aims and projects which are for the interests of struggling people
and which have been deliberately presented to the world in a
distorted manner.
Brother Louis Farrakan said in his speech that America itself is
built on revolution. The American revolution against the British
throne gave America its sovereignty and priceless freedom.
America lived through a period of quasi-isolation before it opened
up to the world and became a superpower.
Brother Farrakhan added: In my opinion America should stand
beside the oppressed and the helpless people against oppressive
and tyrannical forces. It has chosen, however, to be on the side
of the big companies, the big banks, and the peoples'
bloodsuckers.
In my humble assessement America has stood on the wrong side
of history. But for God's kindness there are men and leaders who
have devoted their lives for the struggle for freedom and liber-
ation.
Brother Farrakhan stated that it is natural that the forces of
oppression and exploitation should hate these strugglers; we are
the oppressed and of course we struggle against oppression.
The leader of the black Muslims said in his speech in which he
introduced the brother leader of the revolution: The Libyan
people have been subjected to waves of colonialism for many
years but the devotion of a young man of genius through a white
revolution, i.e. the I September Revolution, has succeeded in
liberating Libya.
He is a young man of futuristic vision and a struggler for the
cause of freedom. He has put all his potential toward bolstering
the revolutionary struggle for freedom in the world. a struggle
that the American Administration should be part of. But it has
chosen the other side and has tried to portray Mu'ammar al-
Qadhdhafi in a distorted manner.
We do not need the international press to introduce him to us.
We are going to meet him, listen to him, and to judge him for
ourselves.

Sudanese Socialist Union, the SSU, will shortly pay an official
visit to Malakal, the capital of Upper Nile Administrative Area.

the power in Sudan, Maj Dr Yak Majer Deng concluded.
