suffering defeats, ignorant of the terrain, demoralised, not
familiar with the bush, surrounded by a hostile population which
reveals to the guerrillas any move that the enemy makes.
FEBRUARY - MARCH
The Portuguese colonialists have increased their forces in .
Niassa Province. Recently a new contingent arrived in the Eastern
zone of that province. The soldiers of that contingent call
themselves "THE CATS", better know as "THE MEN WITH THE BLACK
SCARVES". Their action is mainly directed at the people: they
have committed the most barbarous cromes against the civilian
population. They tie up all the Mozambicans they find harvesting
in the villages - men women and children indescriminately, - and
kill them with knives one by one, like butchers. At the same time,
following a general psychological campaign they spread pamphlets
in which they say that "The Portuguese soldiers do not kill for
pleasure, but for necessity"
FRELIMO forces are also growing and are able to counter the
enemy forces successfully. It is true that some of the people
surrendered themselves to the enemy, led by fear and terrified
by the brutalities they had witnessed. However the great majority
of the population continue to be loyal to FRELIMO and the
REVOLUTION.
APRIL
Two members of FRELIMO central committee, Comrades Lezaro
Kavandame, Provincial chairman of CaDo Delgado and Jorge Rebelo,
Secretary for Information and Propaganda, have returned from
the interior of Mozambique, where they had gone on a party mission,
For about one month, mid February to mid March, they toured Cabo
Delgado Province, organising public moetings in the regions where
they passed, studying the main problems brought by the struggle
and by the tasks of national reconstruction.
Our revolution is growing. The Portuguese have already lost
all the initiative: each time they try to move, our guerrilla
forces intercept them, mining the roads or ambushing them. The
people live in peace and freedom and their only fear is eventual
ir-raids, but they already have good shelters at their disposal.

there is no hunger in free Mozambique. The morale of the people
