Headline International Conference in Support of Peoples of Zimbabwe and Namibia

Caption Description The International Conference in Support of the Peoples of Zimbabwe and Namibia opened on 16 May in Maputo, Mozambique. The Conference is being held from 16 to 21 May for the purpose of those Territories in their struggle for self-determination and independence. The Secretary-General of the UN, Kurt Waldheim, formally opened the Conference. President Samora Machel of Mozambique and the Administrative Secretary-General of the Organization of African Unity (OAU), William Eteki Mboumoua, addressed the ceremonial opening session, in addition to Secretary-General Waldheim. At the start of the meeting, delegations rose for a minute of silence in memory of those who had fallen in the struggle for self-determination and independence. Joaquim Alberto Chissano, Foreign Minister of Mozambique, was elected by acclamation as President of the Conference. Eighty-seven countries are participating in the Conference, which was organized following a decision of the UN General Assembly last December. Also represented are the OAU, liberation movements, UN bodies and intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations.
