MOZAMBIQUE LIBERATION FRONT
UvV/^„^-^;X:.
NO. 79
The military situation has not changed in Cabo Delgado. The enemy
still remains confined to posts, going out from time to time on patrol
operations. These operations are vary intensive near the coast, because
they are conducted by use of ships. In the interior, fear of ambushes
makes the Portuguese soldiers keep far from their posts.
In Hocimboa da Praia, the Portuguese have recently created a recruitment and training center for African soldiers. Their plan is to force
those soldiers, whom they conscript in the villages, to go in front of
their units in order that they become cannon fodder of our attacks.
In the ranks of FRELIHO there are more than 130 African soldiers who
desertdd the Portuguese army and joined the struggle for national
liberation.

marching behind.
Our guerrillas let the lorries pass. Whon the soldiers were on the
mines, FRELIHO guerrillas made them explode. lioro than 15 soldiers
were killed, with many wounded.

mission localised a Portuguese patrol and ambushed it in the village
of Chief MRTJMBA, Macomia region. 6 enemy soldiers were killed and
3 were wounded.
