History
A loose coalition of Southern African countries from the 1960s, committed to ending apartheid and white minority rule in the region, and formally recognised by the Organisation for African Unity in 1975. It gave logistical, diplomatic and political support to the liberation movements of Zimbabwe, Namibia and South Africa. After South Africa achieved democracy the FLS was succeeded by SADC’s Organ on Politics, Defence and Security Cooperation.
