PROCLAMATION
TO THE MOZAMBICAN PEOPLE
Mozambican People;
In September, 1962, the Congress of the Mozambican Liberation
Front (FRELIMO) affirmed unanimously the will and the determination of
the Mozambican people to fight by all means for the achievement of their
National Independence.
During the two years that passed FRELIMO never ceased to work
for the attainment of that goal.
FRELIMO tried through pacific means to convince the colonial-
fascist government of Portugal to give satisfaction to the fundamental
political demands of the Mozambican people. As a result, the Mozambican
people, also the Organization of African Unity, as well as the United
Nations, and in general, the world public opinion, condemned the criminal
palicy of the Portuguese Government.
In spite of that, Portuguese colonialism continues to exercise
its domination over our country. The natural wealth of our country and
the work of the Mozambican people continue to be exploited by the
Portuguese colonialists and their imperialist allies.
Our brothers are murdered daily because of actively participating in the struggle for the liberation of our country. The prisons
are full with the patriots and those who are still free live in the uncertainty of the next day. The PIDE increases the number of its agents
and perfects the methods of torture; the Portuguese army is being reinforced and constantly increases its potential, in men and war material;
and the "Psico-Social" proceeds in its campaign of deceiving the
Mozambican people.
FRELIMO always carried on its work in order to assume completely
its responsibilities as the leader of the revolution of the Mozambican
people. Therefore, parallel to the pacific efforts, FRELIMO created the
conditions to face the eventuality of an armed struggle. Today, faced
with the constant refusal of the Portuguese Government to recognize our
right to independence, FRELIMO again declares that armed struggle is the
only way for the Mozambican people to achieve their aspiration of liberty,
justice and social well-being.
