Reinforcements are constantly being sent .to Niassa and Cabo Delgado
Provinces, from the other provinces of Mozambique5 this allows the Portuguese forces to concentrate a large number of troops: never a. group of less
than 100 soldiers is sent on  patrol operations. This explains why, during
the period beginning 21st November to 6th December, we suffered S casualties-
6 dead and 2 wounded.
However, our forces are also growing. It is. precisely because of our
strength £hat the Portuguese are forced to send reinforcements. But the more
troops the enemy sends, the more losses he suffers,
