PORTUGUESE ATROCITIES AND INJUSTICES
In the previous sessions of this special
Committee on decolonisation which took place in 1965
and 1966 in this city of Dar es Salaam, we
submitted.petitions outlining the general situation
v/hich prevails in Mozambique. In those sessions
v/e described the monstrous methods of repression
used by the Portuguese colonialists to frustrate the
struggle for national liberation which our people
are heroically carrying out.
Once again we insist on denouncing the Portuguese
Government for its policy of repression,vbedause "this
horrendous repression is costing thousands of lives
of innocent and peaceful people, whose only crime
is having aspired to a happy life, peace and freedom.
We insist in denouncing the Portuguese Government, thus
calling the attention of world public opinion to the
Portuguese colonial problem so that it may exert an
active pressure on Portugal and force her to renounce
her inhuman colonialist actions and her criminal v/ar of
systematic genocide.
The atrocities of the Portuguese colonialists
perpetrated against the people of Mozambique do not
constitute.a new element in the history of Portuguese
repression of our people. With their first arrival on
the Mozambican soil, a new chapter of suffering started
in the history of the people of Mozambique. Nov/ that the
present situation is that of armed struggle, the savage
actions of the Portuguese against our people could not
be worse, and the brutal manner in which these terrorist
activities are carried out goes beyond any limits of
human decency.
Very often when the Portuguese hordes suffer heavy
and humiliating losses due to our guerilla activities and
are unable to retaliate against our armed forces, they
turn their venom against defenceless and innocent peoples
and torture to death indiscriminatingly pregnant v/omen,
children and the aged. All these criminal acts are
carried, out with the intention of annihilating the
movement for national liberation, but in vain.
We note that Portugal, a member of UNO, continues
insolently to disregard the resolutions of this organisation on her colonial policy and she does this v/ith the
connivance of countries, also members of UNO, which claim
to be staunch defenders of peace and liberty.
