The African liberation struggle in continental and international perspective
1975 is a year of historic victories in the worldwide struggle against imperialism. In Asia it is, of course, the year of Indochina, while in Africa it is the year of the final dissolution of the Portuguese colonial empire. The great victories won by the Indochinese peoples and by the peoples of Portugal's African colonies, have proved once again that the people's revolutionary war alone can break the power of imperialism, colonialism and neo-colonialism. They are a major defeat for world imperialism and, as such, a great encouragement to the peoples of the Third World still suffering under imperialist oppression in various ways. It is in this spirit that this paper purports to examine some aspects and problems of the changing imperialist strategy and the ever developing anti-imperialist struggle in Africa, viewed as a dialectical unity of opposites.
