peoples.  The colonial peoples and the Portuguese people fight
the same enemy:  the fascist government of Salazar, which serves
national and foreign monopolies."
Of course our independence does not depend upon the victory of
the Portuguese opposition.  It is not in our nature "to sit at
the door of our home, waiting to see the cadaver of colonialism
passing." We have proved this already when we took up arms to
sweep colonialism from our country.  The Portuguese opposition
interests us to the extent that it represents another fighting
front (important because it is located in Portugal) to add to
those which already exist in Guinea, Mozambique and Angola.
The savage murder of Humberto Delgado is only one in a long series
of crimes perpetutated by the PIDE against those v/ho most decisively have opposed the fascism and colonialism of Salazar.
^These crimes prove that the Portuguese people are also subjected
to brutal repression.  They show the necessity for the Portuguese
people to accelerate their revolution.

FOURTH AFRO-ASIAN
PEOPLES' SOLIDARITY CONFERENCE
From the 9th to the 16th of May, the Fourth Afro-Asian
Peoples' Solidarity Conference met in Accra.  FRELIMO was a
member of the Conference and was represented by a delegation
composed of Brothers Marcelino dos Santos, Secretary of External Affairs, Francisco Sumbane, Secretary of Health, and
Feliciano Gundane, Assistant Secretary of Defense and Security.
At this Fourth Conference, a resolution was approved declaring
the 25th of September, the day of the start of our armed
struggle for liberation, the Day of International Solidarity
with the Mozambican People.  Also, FRELIMO was elected to
membership on the Executive Committee.
The following is an excerpt from FRELIMO's speech made by
Brother Marcelino dos Santos, leader of the delegation:
"...Since the beginning of our armed struggle, the Portuguese government has tried to intimidate the independent
countries neighbouring Mozambique, particularly Tanzania.
"I do not need to tell you how deeply we appreciate the
solidarity of Tanzania.  However, I will take this occasion to
speak again of our debt to Tanzania, and give public homage to
the people, the government and the Head of States of Tanzania
for the firm determination with which they face the threats of
Portuguese colonialism.  After having launched a world wide
propaganda campaign to create the impression that the military
action in Mozambique is due to "rebels coming from the exterior",
the Portuguese government declared:  "Since the Americans are
in South Vietnam, why should we not attack Tanzania?"
