The year which is now drawing to a close was for Mozambicans full of
success, despite many difficulties.  In fact, it was during the year of
1968 that, for the first time, our army launched large-scale actions against the enemy forces, attacking their garrisons, destroying posts, capturing weapons and ammunition, killing and wounding many enemy soldiers
and capturing some of them.
The enemy lost their initiave on most of the fronts. The action of our
guerrillas was such that the enemy forces had to resort to cowardly airraids, as the only means of acting against us. This year our forces
severed most of their land communications in Cabo Delgado and Niassa:
roads, railways, etc.  In order to face the intensified enemy air—raids,
our army did not confine it self s teasing anti-aircraft guns, which have
nevertheless been very usefu?. during the past four years;  our forces went
further and carried out direct attacks against air-fields destroying many
aircraft.  Such was the attack against the airfield of Mueda, last August,
in which twelve enemy aircraft were destroyed.
It was also in this year, in March, 1968, that FRELIMO resumed its military offensive in the important province of TETE. Here the imperialist
and racialist forces are trying to establish their last economic and
military stronghold to defend their interests in the rest of southern
Africa, Our forces continue to advance on this new front despite an intense concentration of enemy troops, reinforced with white racialists from
South Africa, Only a few days agothe enemy, confused by the action of our
guerrillas, bombed civilian populations in Zambia,  This provoked a
counter-attack by Zambia, resulting in the death of some Portuguese soldiers.
With the intensification of our political activities, with increased material
regularly captured from the enemy, there can be little doubt that the armed
struggle in TETE will be crowned with even bigger successes in 1969^ The
order of the day for FRELIMO is:  Cabora Bassa delenda est-* Cabora Bassa
must be destroyedi
The year of I968 also witnessed progress in the fields of agricultural production:  an increase in the number of shambas and the establishment of
new co-operatives, as well as advance in the fields of education and health.
During the course of the year, four journalists, including a woman, have
visited the liberated areas and written detailed articles about our
