SOURCE 4A This is an extract from Emergent African States by SA Akintoye, 1976, which focuses on why the OAU has had limited success. The achievements of the OAU have been so modest because the whole Pan- African movement has laboured under various difficulties. For one thing, very few African countries have been willing to surrender any significant part of their newly won sovereignty for the sake of the dream of African unity. Consequently, although all African leaders have proclaimed 'African Unity' to be the goal of Pan-Africanism, there has been a sharp disagreement over the meaning of the phrase. Some, like Dr Nkrumah, advocated in the early 1960s that African unity should mean the political unification of Africa into one large state — United States of Africa. The vast majority of African leaders, however, insisted that Africans must accept the existing African countries as they were, and that African unity should mean only co-operation among these countries. ree UTA OE UA A A Please tum over ### Page 3 Downloaded from hlayiso.com History/SG/P2 3 DBE/2012 SCE - Addendum SOURCE 4B This is an extract taken from http:/Awww.encyclopedia.com/topic/Organization of African Unity.aspx of the Social Sciences, 2008, by GJ Naidi. It focuses on the successes and failures of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU). The OAU had a mixed record. Its greatest success was in relation to decolonization. Other achievements included making significant contributions to the development of international law, especially in the fields of refugee law and human rights law, where several important treaties were adopted under OAU auspices, although in practice progress was slow and uneven. A court of human rights was envisaged, but the OAU was dissolved before it was established. Efforts were made to promote economic cooperation, and in 1991 it was decided to set up an African economic community, which in time was intended to lead to a customs union, a common market, and African monetary union. Little progress was made. Overall, the failures of the OAU outweighed its successes. Arguably, its major failing was its inability to bring peace, prosperity, security and stability to Africa. The OAU was found wanting in its responses to the tyrannies and kleptocracies ruining Africa, a deficiency that undermined its credibility. Its powers were too weak and its influence inadequate to deal with the internal and external conflicts, poor governance, human rights abuses, poverty, and underdevelopment from which much of Africa suffered. The OAU was considered incapable of meeting the challenges of globalization. By the end of the century, reform so comprehensive was required that it was decided to start afresh with a new organization, the African Union, devoted to the political and economic integration of Africa based on respect for democratic values, good governance, the rule of law, and human rights.

SOURCE 5A An extract from a letter written by Hitler to Josef Hell in 1922, explaining the manner in which Jews would be killed. If | am ever really in power the destruction of the Jews will be my first and most important job. As soon as | have the power, | shall have gallows after gallows erected ...Then the Jews will be hanged one after another and they will stay hanging until they stink. They will stay hanging as long as hygienically possible. As soon as they are untied, then the next group will follow and that will continue until the last Jew in Munich is exterminated. Exactly the same procedure will be followed in other cities until Germany is cleansed of the last Jew. SOURCE 5B These are extracts from the Nuremberg Laws, 1935. These laws were given that name because they were announced at a rally of the Nazi Party in Nuremberg. The Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honour, 15 September 1935. This forbade marriages between Jews and other Germans and cancelled all 'mixed marriages' even if they had happened outside Germany. Jews were forbidden to employ German women as domestic servants and were forbidden to display the national flag or national colours. The Regulation under Reich Citizenship Law. This denied German Jews the right of citizenship, removed the right to vote, and forbade Jews from holding any public office.

This figure represents about seventy percent or eighty percent of all persons sent to Auschwitz as prisoners, the remainder having being selected and used for slave labour in the concentration camp industries. Included among the executed and burnt were approximately 20 000 Russian prisoners of war (previously selected and taken out of prisoner-of-war cages by the Gestapo) who were delivered to Auschwitz in transports operated by regular officers and men. The remainder of the total number of victims included about 100 000 German Jews, and great numbers of citizens, mostly Jewish, from Holland, France, Belgium, Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Greece, or other countries. We executed about 400 000 Hungarian Jews alone at Auschwitz in the summer of 1944.

SOURCE 6A This is an extract from the memoirs of President Truman of the United States of America, 1956. What was at stake in Berlin was not a contest over legal rights ... but a struggle over Germany ... the Kremlin tried to mislead the people of Europe into believing that ... we would back away from any military risks. | brought up the situation at the Cabinet meeting of June 25, 1948. The Secretary of the army, Kenneth Royall, maintained in constant touch with General Clay in Germany and reported that a serious situation was developing ... Clay was forced to make emergency arrangements to have essential supplies flown into the city, since Berlin, by now, was effectively blockaded by the Russians both by land and by water ... | directed that this improvised ‘airlift! be put on a full- scale organised basis ... The abandonment of Berlin would have a disastrous effect on our plans for West Germany (and) slow down European recovery ... we had to remain in Berlin.

In the 318 days since the airlift began on 28 June 1948, British and US aircraft have made 195 530 flights to Berlin, carrying 1 583 686 short tons of food, coal and other stores, of which British aircraft have made 63 612 flights carrying 369 347 tons, and American aircraft 131918 flights carrying 1 214 339 tons. The British total was made up of approximately 185 000 tons of food, 97 000 tons of coal, 50 000 tons of fuel, 21 000 tons of miscellaneous cargoes, and 15 000 tons of supplies for the British services in Berlin. In the reverse direction, British aircraft carried out of Berlin about 30 000 tons of freight and over 65 000 passengers. Although the British contributed to the airlift, in the way of flights and tonnage, which was about one-quarter of the total, the RAF was responsible for the bulk of the ground organization (6 of the 8 dispatching airfields being in the British zone), and over 500 000 tons was flown into Gatow airfield (in the British sector of Berlin) alone. Gatow, which at present handles nearly 1 000 aircraft movements in 24 hours, can claim to be the busiest airfield in the world in that it averaged 540 movements a day over the whole period of the airlift.
