mobilise their forces to force the liberation of all arrested
Mozambican nationalists.
The Colonialist policy of Portugal is condemned by nearly all the world.
The legitimacy of our struggle for liberation was recognised by the
United Nations itself. This world movement will have therefore a
legal basis. It is necessary that Portugal be aware of the fact
that any condemnation she levels against our compatriots will
reflect against her and stigmatise her to all peoples in the world:
that, if there is someone who must be condemned, it is Portugal
herself, with her policy of exploitation and genocide, and not the
freedom-fighters of Mozambique, Angola and Guinea called Portuguese.

One interesting fact is that, after having announced the "annihilation"
of the Mozambican revolutionary movement, the Portuguese authorities
issued a communique announcing the death of 12 Portuguese soldiers.in
fighting. "From 25 July to 5 August our troops engaged in intensive
activity in the persecution of bands of terrorists ...o. The forces of the
Army, helped"by militarized elements of militias, in co-operation with the
marines and the Air Force, developed widespread patrols and persecutions
of the bands, while at the same time Navy -units were standing by in the
territorial waters As a result of the intensive activities of our
troops, a great number of camps and terrorist"installations were destroyed,
documents and goods were captured, a great number of enemy bands were
annihilated or captured Our forces suffered 12 losses".
What is true in this communique? Nothing.
In fact, the number of Portuguese soldiers killed by our militants
during that period is much greater than 12. On the other hand, the -.
Portuguese troops did not "annihilate" nor capture anything; for the
simple reason that the contact they have with our guerillas is only distant
contact, and not a direct confrontation; our guerillas appear suddenly,
