The Different Worlds

First Step

Chapter 5

Author Notes: I announced that I created a mistake on the naming convention on the characters. The Philippine ambassador was addressed by his first name then his last name, because its too formal to called a person first name. I will changed the addressed name to the last name of Ambassador Abueva previous chapters. And fixed some mistakes, for better understanding for the story.

Also, I even changed the cover to reflected the arcs on the multiple scenes for the story.

We had to forge an alliance of strength based not on colour but on commitment to the total abolition of apartheid and oppression; we would seek allies, of whatever colour, as long as they were totally agreed on our liberation aims.
