If the the Afrikaners in South Africa and French in Algeria accepted the legitimacy of ANC and FLN rule, and the latter were willing to accede to minority demands for some (negotiated) measure of cultural and political autonomy as an interim means of fostering unity and in the economic interest, you would oppose these concessions on principle and condemn the governments for agreeing to these demands? ________________________________________________ YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message.
