Telegram to Gamal Abdel Nasser, President of the United Arab Republic by Oliver Tambo, 27 May 1967

African National Congress of South Africa expresses full support and solidarity with United Arab Republic and Arab people in their firm stand and struggle to resist Anglo-American Machinations to recolonise Arab States. War threat in Middle East is being directly engineered as an act of provocation and aggression by Anglo-American powers. As during crisis Israel is being used as a cat`s-paw and a springboard to threaten peace in the Middle East, Africa, Asia and the world. African National Congress condemns these criminal acts against humanity by these powers.

From: Spotlight on South Africa, Volume 5, No. 22, June 2, 1967
