[Text] The brother leader confirmed that the tense situation in
the Mediterranean, which is the result of the irresponsible
aggressive attitude of U.S. imperialism, constitues a serious
danger to world peace and security, explaining that any deterio-
ration in this sensitive part of the world will seriously damage
world interests.
He said in a radio and television interview conducted today in
Zimbabwe, that I do not see a reasonable cause to use methods
that the world had thought it was rid of after World War II. He
added, I fear that the world will discover too late that peace and
stability were sacrificed so that Washington and the Zionists
could fulfill their ambitions to control the earth and impose their
domination over it.
On the U.S. threats, provocations and encroachments against the
Great Jamahiriyah, the brother leader said the failed barbaric
American-Atlantic aggression against the Libyan Arab people
on 15 April was unjustified, and consequently no one would find
it surprising if the United States commits another folly which
will without doubt result in its defeat. He added that the fact that
the international community had not punished Washington for
its aggression encourages the U.S. generals' dreams. He said
these generals are (?infatuated) with war and the issue of destruc-
tion which has taken control of the madman Reagan. I warn here
once again that all the small peoples are exposed to danger in the
shadow of the continuation of the U.S. aggressive attitude.
The brother leader confirmed the permanent readiness of the
Great Jamahiriyah to fight until the end in defense of the sanctity
of its territory, air space, waters, and freedom. He also said we

do not fear Washington's aggressive challenges and will continue
to confirm our ability to teach the United States another lesson,
explaining that Libya is not Grenada.
The brother leader recalled the size of the losses suffered by the
U.S. forces during their aggression against the Great Jama-
hiriyah and said we shot down many of its planes and destroyed
its strategic communications center in Lampedusa. We will not
hesitate to confront U.S. terrorism once again. We will also
continue to anticipate it, and so will the fish.
The leader explained that the U.S. concept of terrorism is an
intentional falsification of the truth. He added that the Libyan
Arab people are one of the victims of U.S. terrorism which the
world has come to know as the real terrorism, represented in
attacks by fleets and raids, wars of starvation, pressure, and
economic and military siege.
He added that the Great Jamahiriyah will not retreat from its
support for just causes in occupied Palestine, South Africa,
Namibia, Central America, and Latin America. The leader said
we consider the presence of whites in South Africa as colonialism
which should be ended. We also consider it to be a shame which
requires removal, and I confirm here our rejection of any bar-
gaining or talks on this issue. He explained that the issue in South
Africa is one of annihilation, not of political dispute. He said it
fully resembles the historic war in which the Americans annihi-
lated the red indian nation. He said that the whites are endeav-
oring to eliminate the Africans and thus there is nothing ahead
of us other than to fight to expel the whites from our continent
or to annihilate them. The leader warned that the independence
of Africa, and particularly that of the confrontation states; is in
danger unless the racist cancer is removed and amputated com-
pletely and Africa is returned to the Africans.
The brother leader confirmed that the Libyan Arab Jamahiriyah
had confirmed at its popular conferences its absolute support for
the causes of freedom all over the world and to work for their
triumph. Therefore, it announces that it places all its capabilities
at the disposal of the revolutionaries of South Africa and Nami-
bia, to train and arm them. We consider this self-defense. If the
United States considers this struggle terrorism, we say to it again
loudly: To hell with America.
The leader said that the continuation of racism in South Africa
depends on our fighting activities against the racists. We can
shorten this existence if we are serious in this.
On the situation in Chad, the leader said that the Great Jama-
hiriyah supports the government of national unity in Chad which
has won legitimacy by world recognition. He added that the
current regime in Ndjamena is a rebellion protected by U.S. and
French forces. He also said that what should have been proposed
was the withdrawal of the French, American and Zairean bases,
and that if the conflict in Chad is raging among Chadian parties,
then the Great Jamahiriyah will not intervene, but if it is an
international conflict, Libya will defend its borders and security.
He added, we are ready to send forces to Chad to achieve peace
and to restore security and stability to this African country which
was torn apart by foreign interference.
At the end of his radio and television interview, the brother leader
expressed his pleasure at being in independent Zimbabwe and
said we feel profound happiness and thank God for our joint
efforts with the revolutionaries of Zimbabwe who have led to this
glorious result and we have become certain that our support for
the Zimbabwe revolutionaries was sound. We highly appreciate
the great effort which has been made by the Africans whom we
have trained and prepared militarily for the liberation of Zim-
babwe from racist colonialism.

Afterward, the president ref red to the weaknesses shown by the
Nonaligned Movement in of adopting a definite stance against
aggression and in failing oppose the military, economic, politi-
cal, and propaganda on aught of the major powers. While
stressing that the moveme as not demonstrated the expected
response to the crimes and atr `f the archsatan in Nicara-
gua and against the Islamic Revolut ran, the president
said: I say it openly that this dangerous wea s of the Non-
aligned Movement stems from two points: first, 'ts abandon-
ment of its primary principles, which were introduc d when the
movement was founded, and second, the lack of res sibility felt
by the members toward international issues.
President Khamene'i added: As the preside of a country
whose system is the fruit of a huge bloody upr' ing by its people
against U.S. imperialism, I warn the move nt that if it fails to
take a basic and fundamental step to r ove its deep-rooted
problems, its future will be in grave dagger and the nations will
lose hope in its ability.
Commenting further on removin the deep-rooted difficulties of
the Nonaligned Movement, r Khamene'i proposed that it

should revive the principle o onalignment, promote the idea of
nonalignment, greatly en urage the morale of resistance to
aggression and hegemony mong the nations, revive a responsible
attitude toward interna tonal issues among all the members,
extend the nonaligned phere of activity in various areas, and
approve practical reg ations and criteria on the basis of the
movement's principles to enable it to adopt a logical approach
toward international a ents and issues.
Referring to the fact t t in the 25 years since the founding of
this movement there has been a remarkable acceleration in the
trend of countries joining t i movement, the president said: At
this juncture of its life the movement ought to compile a political,
cultural, and economic policy fbNqanaging the world. And
instead of just facing the problems it s ould play an active role
and effectively intervene in determining the direction of move-
