ORGANISED CIVIL OPPRESSION.
In South Africa the white people are encouraged to
buy fire arms and to practise using them. Everybody knows
that the reason for this is to maintain the policy of oppression of the Africans through the active participation
of all colonialists.
This same policy is being adopted by the Portuguese
in Mozambique. In one of the principal newspapers of Lourenco
Marques the following invitation has been published:
HIn the Provincial Organisation of Volunteers there is a place
for everybody.
The Provincial Organisation of Volunteers is an active civil
defence. The membership in it is open to any Portuguese or
foreigner living in our Province.
If alien forces menace the integrity of our country or the
tranquility of our population, the Provincial Organisation
of Volunteers will be called to collaborate with the military
forces. Any volunteer can belong to the so-called "Unites
of Intervention" (which of course will be utilised only in
emergency cases) simply by declaring that he wishes to belong
to those. They will act according to defence plans previously
studied. The P.O.V* and the Civil Defence wait for you to
join at any Command Zone."
We conclude from the above that :-
1) The Provincial Organisation of Volunteers is nothing
but a system of organised oppression of the Mozambican people
by the colonialists.
2) It is not against "alien forces" that the Portuguese
organise themselves but against the Mozambican People's .;
Revolution to defend the riches they have stolen from us,
3) Unites of Intervention are Unites of Oppression.
We warn the Portuguese that we are also organising
ourselves; and that in the final struggle victory will be
ours because s-
Our struggle is just while theirs is unjust.
We are more than 7 million people while they
are only 100,000, and when 7 million people are
united by one aim, and that aim is freedom,
nothing can stop them.
