“This change is similar to what happened to the ANC in South Africa, which was regarded as a terrorist organization and involve their leaders in prison and attacked its bases in Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique amid the complicity and silence and the blessing of the Great Powers, but things have changed and the struggle of the African National Congress and its leader, Nelson Mandela, became a model and appreciated by the whole world . ”
