Geschiedenis
The Anti-Apartheids Beweging Nederland (AABN) (Dutch Anti-Apartheid Movement) was formed in 1971. Among those involved in the founding was a South African, the Afrikaner Berend Schuitema. The organization focused on the liberation struggle in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe and South Africa. The AABN supported the African National Congress and various solidarity campaigns for divestment from companies doing business in South Africa and the release of political prisoners. AABN also campaigned in support of the arms, oil and cultural boycotts of South Africa. In 1997 it was one of three organizations which had been active as supporters of the anti-apartheid that merged to form the Netherlands Institute on Southern Africa (NiZA).
