In 1965 our armed struggle will-grow in-intensity and dimension. As
we solemnely declared in our proclamation of 25th September, our
fight will not cease until our country is totally liberated from
the clutches of colonialism and imperialism.
May the new year witness the victory of all revolutionary and popular forces. May it see the basis of a new world shaped - a world
where capital is not erected as a God of religion which men worship, sacrifying to it fundamental human values; a world where fraternity is not an empty and meaningless word; without walls separating men, without misery destroying them. Those are the wishes
of MOZAMBICAN REVOLUTION .
