“It is true that South Africa was often brought to the brink of destruction because of differences... Since we have achieved our freedom, there can only be one division amongst us: between those who cherish democracy and those who do not! As freedom loving people, we want to see our country prosper and provide basic services to all. For our freedom can never be complete or our democracy stable unless the basic needs of our people are met... As we rebuild our country, we should remain vigilant against the enemies of development and democracy, even if they come from within our own ranks. Violence will not bring us closer to our objectives. All of us should ask ourselves the question: Have I done everything in my power to bring about lasting peace and prosperity in my city and my country?”—Nelson Mandela, On Reconciliation, 1999What is the underlying message in Mandela's call to provide basic services to all South Africans?A The desire to establish South Africa as a welfare stateB The necessity of reparations for past injusticesC The connection between meeting basic needs and strengthening democracyD The desire to create an economically competitive nation on the global stage

It was my privilege to attend the All African People’s Conference held in Ghana. The conference was significant because it brought together the most representative gathering of African leaders ever assembled. There were about 300 delegates representing some 65 organizations coming from 28 African countries. Of the nine independent African countries only one, Sudan, was not represented.The nationalist organizations were represented by their top leadership. Therefore, whether the colonial powers like it or not, the decisions of the conference must be taken with some seriousness. The conference announced clearly that African freedom and independence are a necessity, and that the struggle to achieve independence would continue. The conference’s declaration on colonialism and imperialism significantly called upon ‘the independent African states to render maximum assistance by every means possible to the dependent peoples in their struggle.’ The final decision of the conference was to commend nonviolent methods but also to endorse other methods if they are deemed necessary.Presently, there is negligible Russian influence in Africa. Nevertheless, this influence will grow unless the problem of racism in the multi-racial areas of Africa is solved. It is my opinion that American influence will decline steadily unless the United States is much more vocal in its support of responsible movements for independence in Africa. The United States does not need to be as cautious as it currently is.”George M. Houser, president of the American Committee on Africa, a nongovernmental organization founded to support nonviolent African independence movements, report about the All African People’s Conference held in Ghana, 1958QuestionThe conference’s decision to “endorse other methods,” as mentioned in the second paragraph, is best explained in the context of which of the following?ResponsesThe growth of the international arms trade provided armed groups in Africa with military superiority over European powers.The growth of the international arms trade provided armed groups in Africa with military superiority over European powers.Many African colonies had failed to obtain the greater self-governance promised after the First World War and doubted that European powers would fulfill similar promises after the Second World War.Many African colonies had failed to obtain the greater self-governance promised after the First World War and doubted that European powers would fulfill similar promises after the Second World War.Many African societies had been strongly influenced by European methods of administration, economic and political philosophy, and culture.Many African societies had been strongly influenced by European methods of administration, economic and political philosophy, and culture.The Non-Aligned Movement was attractive to many African societies that opposed both European policies in Africa and the development of a bipolar global order.
