THE GUERRILLAS AND THE PEOPLE
One of the main preoccupations of the FRELIMO guerrillas is to establish and maintain., good relations with the people.  These relations
exist naturally, because the Guerrillas and the people.work hand
in hand in the struggle against the enemy, to liberate our country,
to assure the victory of the struggle for National Liberation.
"The people are to the guerrillas the same as water is to the fish.
Out of water the fish cannot live.  Away from the people, that is,
without the support of the people, the guerrillas also cannot subsist,
and even less can they fight.  It is precisely the support of the
people which explains all the successes of FRELIMO1s Guerrillas.
