But the purpose of our struggle is not only to destroy. It is
first and foremost aimed at building a new Mozambique where there
will be no hunger and where all men will be free and equal. We are
fighting with arms in our hands because, in order to build the
Mozambique that we want, we must first destroy the Portuguese colonial system, which does not allow us to work for the progress of
our country and of our people. The Portuguese colonialists want us
to work only to fill their own pockets. It is for this reason that
we must first kill them or drive them out of Mozambique; only after
this will we be able to use for ourselves, our labour and the wealth of our country.
This is now becoming a reality: in the regions reconquered by
FRELIMO a great deal of progress has been made in the work of national reconstruction. In these regions (Cabo Delgado and Niassa)
we have more than 10,000 Mozambican children in school, many more
than there were under the Portuguese. Furthermore, we know that
the Portuguese have always prevented African students from going
on to more advanced schools and colleges. But FRELIMO now has more
than 150 Mozambicans studying in the universities of various
countries, and more than 19 have already completed their university
course. This means that in the five years since it was formed in
1962 FRELIMO has done far more in the field of education, for the
people of Mozambique, than the Portuguese did in 5 centuries.
FRELIMO has created an administrative system in the liberated
zones, which has replaced the colonial system.
FRELIHIQ has promoted the development of production and redistributed conquered land to the people and given them implements with
