Those who chose to remain inside the country are not
only the majority of the young men and women who are in
the military programme of FRELIMO, but also hundreds of
thousands cf civilians who believe that the best v/ay
to hasten the destruction of the enemy is to remain
within the country and contribute all they can by their
direct action and labour.
Mr. Chairman, and distinguished delegates,
It is about the problems faced by those patriots
and their achievements that v/e wish to talk to you
during the next few minutes.
In the beginning, the economic activities of the
people living in the liberated and semi-liberated areas
were a simple continuation of the natural economic
activities of the people, without any visible control
or direction by the Mozambique Liberation Front. The
same applies to the people's efforts to provide minimum
educational, social and medical services; the people
themselves, feeling the need for those essential services
decided to organize their agricultural work in a manner
capable of supporting such services, and in doing so
made use of whatever talents were available locally.
Meanwhile PRELIMO leaders, noting the difficulties
encountered by the civilian population as they tried
to produce for both their own needs and for the support
of the armed struggle, established a number of agricultural, educational, social and medical programmes to
meet the situation.
Thus in the Cabo Delgado Province, we established,
or v/e revived; the old agricultural producers' cooperatives which the Portugese had deliberately discouraged
or destroyed, In this connexion,, it may be recalled that
in 1965 one of our petitioners to your committee, Mzee
Laza.ro Kavandame, told you of the difficulties he had
encountered in the Cabo Delgado Province as he tried to
help our people by establishing a number of agricultural
•cooperatives. Mzee Kavandame v/as persecuted by the
Portugese authorities as a result of his involvement in
agricultural cooperatives amongst African peasant farmeirs,
Now, however, Mzee Kavandame is once more back in
Mozambique, this time not only working with the people
in reorganizing their economic life but also directing
political'and military programmes aimed at advancing
the peoples' claim to immediate independence.
