"This dastardly act must be condemned as cowardly and savage in
the extreme.  It is the work of the agents of colonialism and
imperialism working ruthlessly to defeat the liberation struggle
in Southern Africa. His disappearance from the political scene
in Mozambique is a setback to the independence movement and it will
be very difficult to recover this loss both in time and effectiveness,
"This assassination must be a warning to all liberation movements.
The physical elimination of their leader does not benefit them
but the-minority oppressors whom they are fighting against.
Their protection is necessary but the squabbles which have been
in evidence of late only open the door for the enemies to bring
the v/hole liberation struggle to a grinding halt. Freedom
fighters will be the sufferers,
"It is my sincere hope that OAU Liberation Committee will do
everything to prevent the repetition of such incidents, the
cost of which is without parallel, "
From President Ahmed_Sekou_Toure' of the Republic of Guinea.
"We have learnt with sorrow of the dastardly assassination
of the leader of the Mozambique Liberation Movement,  Dr0
Mondlane, President of FRELIMO, We condemn the manipulations
of certain Africans against the African Liberation Movements
and we ask you to present our condolences to his family and
to all his fellow freedom-fighters*  The Democratic Party of
Guinea, the people, the Government and myself, assure you of
our total solidarity, for the complete liberation of Mozambique

From Gamal Abdul Nasser, President of the United Arab Republic,

"President Gamal Abdul Nasser being deeply shocked by the
untimely demise of Dr, Eduardo Mondlane, President of the
FRELIMO Movemento Has instructed me to convey on his behalf
