Great Powers Cooperate with Portugal Against the Defenseless People of
Mozambique
We people of Mozambique know that we are struggling not only
against the Portuguese who want to continue their shameful policy of
colonialism, genocide, exploitation and slaveny but also against their
allies, the biggest powers of the world. It is not Portugal itself which
maintains the armies in Mozambique, suppling them with bombs, planes and
other military materials; its allies supply them purposely to make
Portugal strong and able to carry out the war against our aspirations of
independence, freedom and equality.
It is true that the United States has given Portugal military
assistance of $268 million as has been show by information given in the
1962 issue, No. 9, of the "Voice of Africa". The Portuguese force has
received British armed trucks of the Humber type, military trucks from
West Germany and incendiary bombs from the United States with which they
burn our villages. West Germany has sent a good deal of automatic weapons,
granades, aircraft and other types of armament. 2/
"In the fall of 1961 the factories of the Federal Republic of
Germany delivered sixteen military aircraft, and in February, 1962, they
delivered another sixteen. These aircraft were delivered to Luanda,
where they were assembled and armed with United States rockets. 'he allies
of Portugal not only arm the colonizers and supply them with financial
resources but they have also taught them to fight against the guerilla
movement in the territories. The correspondent of "Le Figaro", Max Clos,
who recently returned from Angola, reported that in each Portuguese
battalion there is an officer who underwent a course of training in the
French colonial forces and that all of them apply in practice the French
experience of colonial wars in Indo-China and Aigeria#»» 3/
Why are these powers interested in helping Portugal to carry
out its program of extermination of our people? They not only supply
Portugal with military material and financial resources, but they also do
not want to vote against her at the United Nations and other international
organizations. We suspect that these powers help Portugal in order to
defend their interests and investments which are in our countries.
