WEST GERMANY INVOLVED IN TIE PORTUGUESE COLONIAL WAR
It has been proved now and then that some European countries have
a hand in the Portuguese colonial war. From the world newspapers and
declarations by the Portuguese and other European governement officials, it has become very clear that those governements are involved.
In May 1962, in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanganyika, when we appeared before
the seven'(7) members United Nations Committee sent to gather information about the Portuguese colonial administration, we proved before it
what kind of arms the Portuguese were using in Mogambique. In answer
to questions we mentioned the trade marks and where such arms were manufactured. The gathering of such valuable information continues.
We accuse the friends of Portugal of supplying her with arms, they
are perplexed, they categorically state that such allegations are unjust. They tell us that they have assurance from Portugal that those
anus will not be used in the colonies against the -unarmed AfricainSo
This kind of assurance lacks, by far, a minimum preponderance, hence
illogic. For over ten years now Portugal considers her colonies as
overseas provinces, part and parcel of Portugal. From this Portuguese
point of view, such arms can be used in the said overseas provinces
and still be within the assurances given, for they are not colonies
according to this philosophy. The Portuguese godfathers should have
realised this, despite their assurances.
However,the action of those governments which help Portugal is jus
tified by its own way, for they are friends of Portugal, not of Mogam
bique.
Therefore,we are not surprised to hear Dr. Richard Jaeger, Vice
President of West Germany after visiting Portugal and her colonies,
say: "Portugal has done much in Mogambique and Angola."
To say that Portugal has done much for her colonies, while the who
le world hnows that her colonies are the most backward: socially, economically and educationally, is more than a crime. We fail to unders
tand how Dr. Richard, after visiting Mogambique, where he did not speak
to en African or heard of a single African graduate, because even one
does not exist, can tell us of the much done for Mogambicans. Of course, Portugal has done much to perpetuate colonialism, poverty, ignorance, disease, terrorism, inhumanity, etc., for this we really hail her
and say:"HALLELUIAH to Portugal among the colonialists!"
It is not long,since some leaders of West Germany said:f,We need
Africa,if not for other reasons but for our preservatioti(salvation)".
This ideology is very astonishing.lt has been many a times said
by some statesmen that Africa was the best nuclear war base against
