Its unequivocal support for the armed struggle being waged by the liberation movements in southern Africa, its vocal protests and denunciations of violations of human rights in Burundi, Equitorial Guinea, Ethiopia, Uganda, Central African Empire and several other independent African nations, and its successful attempts to promote reconciliation and justice in Zaire, Nigeria and the Sudan have all served to enhance the stature and credibility of the African churches before the world...
