the Mozambican people. In this combat he taught us how to define clearly the essential objectives of our struggle, and how to know the real enemies — v/hich are the colonial domination and the exploitation of man by man, as well as tribalism, regionalism, and racialism; he taught us that it is necessary to place the principal emphasis of our struggle on the fight against all exploiters, independent of their colour, to distinguish the fundamental from the secondary, and to direct against the real target, the fire of our weapons. President Mondlane was the active fighter for African Solidarity, making Mozambique an integral part of militant Africa, and in particular a, part of the armed struggle of the people of Portuguese colonies and of the whole of Southern Africa. It was for this reason that his death was felt in our Continent as a loss not only for FRELIMO and the Mozambican people, but for the whole of Africa. The racialist regimes of white domination established in the South of our Continent whose aim is to exploit our people and our riches with the active complicity of world imperialism, found in him a resolute adversary who threatened the foundations of their domination, Cahora Bassa delenda est —- v/ith which he galvanised the FRELIMO fighters for the destruction of the big imperialist economic project v/hich v/as aimed at perpetuating the domination of our people. In that way, the forces of capitalist oppression became clearly aware of the defeat to v/hich their neo-colonialist activities are doomed. President Eduardo Mondlane v/as thus the builder of the new Mozambique which already lives in large regions of our country and affirms herself in the militant conscousness of our people.

The Central Committee of FRELIMO, by expressing its absolute determination to continue the armed struggle for national liberation against colonialism and imperialism within the lines clearly drawn up by the Second Congress of FRELIMO, is certain that it Interprets completely the significance of the exemplary life and the death of President Eduardo Mondlane.
