CIVILIZED TERRORISM
MSalazarist propaganda could find no basis tc justify the campaign of brutality and terror v/hich the colonialists have launched
against the Mozambican people. This is either because the national
uprising in Mozambique v/as well organised, and because it was not
an immediate reaction against recent and wide-scale atrocities
against the African population, as had been the case in the earlier
uprising of the people of Angola in March 1961. The Mozambican
nationalists attack only military objectives and the forces of the
colonialist army, leaving the civilians alone when they do not intervene in military actions. This fact is well known to the European population and cannot be ignored by the authorities. However,
it' is not taken into consideration, and the wave cf hatred and
barbarity which has risen against the Africans in Angola is being
repeated in Mozambique under the incitment of the official authorities, both civilian and military.
"To kill negros under flimsy pretexts or even v/ithout any
pretext, has become a habit of the Portuguese soldiers. They are
ordered to do this by the Military Commander, General Caeiro
Carrasco.■ Perhaps influenced by his own name (carrasco means executioner), the General is explicit in his orders to the officials:
11'Kill everyone v/ho is black!1
" *And v/hat about the children, General?1
"'Are the children not back, you ass?1
"This answer silenced the official who had asked the
question.
"On the Island of Ibo the main concentration camp of the colony
has been installed. There nationalists or these suspected of sympathy
v/ith the nationalist cause are interned and exterminated. As in
Angola, the methods used to force the prisoners to 'confess' are
highly refined in cruelty. The prisoners are interrogated in the
nude, with trained police dogs ready to jump on them at the first
signal."
From "Portugal Demccratico"
. July 1965.
