when the iarme'd revolution begins in Mozambique, the army of South Africa
will join with the army of Portugal to repress the people....". Our
militants' now tell us that Boer soldiers fight in Mozambique side by side
with Portuguese soldiers.
After an ambush when a colonialist patrol was completely defeated, o'lir fighters found that many of the dead colonialist soldiers had
Soutf-f African identity cards. " •;;.'"
Later on, after careful study of the movements of the Portuguese
troops, the FRELIMO militants remarked that in those manoeuvres, the Boer
sol riipvc used to go in front, forming the reconnaissance group; During
the fight, those soldiers are* much more energetic than the Portuguese, revealing that they are used to the conditions of the African terrain.
On tne other hand., in repressive actions, they are even more
ferocious than the Portuguese, manifesting a kind of sadistic pleasure
when torturing Africans, burning plantations and villages and persecuting
and shooting unarmed African civilians una hide in the bush.
This new manifestation of the Salazar-Verwoerd alliance does not
surprise anyone. But it teaches us the necessity of making the solidarity
between the people of Mozambique and South Africa more active. The colonialists and-imperialists, know how to' unite in the defense'of their
interests. The oppressed peoples must also know how to constitute a common
front in the fight for their rights/
