I just simply want to comment that it is incredible that we find it so difficult to condemn Ethiopia for its practices of genocide. And anyone who denies that that is going on really has a problem of attention span. I would say. We have seen the films and the movies. They have wrenched our souls. and then we hear that that Government. from unimpeachable sources. is using food as a weapon. starving people. and burning their refugee camps. Now if we cannot bring ourselves to condemn that here today then this body really has no reason for existence. or we have lost our soul. Now we condemn the obscenity of apartheid and rightly so.
