10/ To procure all means of self-defence and prepare the people for
every eventuality;
11/ To appeal for financial support from organizations which sympathise
with the cause of the people of Mozambique;
12/ To establish permanent centers of information and propaganda in all
parts of the world;
13/ To seek diplomatic, morel and material ..help for the cause of freedom
in Moz-.mbique,. especially from the'already independent states of
Africa, and from all peace and freedom loving countries of. the world.
I am sure you would also be interested in- knowing about what FRELIMO
is doing to implement at least some of these decisions by the Congress.  As you inay
realise, it would be unwise for .me to give you.any indication of what we are doing to
implement those resolutions which: have .to do with direct action within Mozambique.
There are, however, two areas of ..action re.comehd.ed by the Congress of our ,.
organisation whose courses of a' ction. we can freely Outline publicaly without danger.
These are: diplomatic action and education,. Sinee;-the formation of FRELIMO, and even
before; diplomatic contacts have heen  intensified in all parts of the world.  For
example, we have made certain that our .point of view is well understood by those
mmittees of the United Nations..which are directly responsible for gathering
information on Portuguese colonies.  Consequently, as soon as the meetings of the
Congress ended I flex* back to New York to petition in the Fourth Committee of the
General Assembly when our territory was being considered. We also intensified our
contacts with international conferences in/Africa, Asia and the Americas.  At the
annual conference of PAFMECSA which met at Lebpoldvills* Congo, Mr. Uria Simango,
the vice~presidont of FRELIMO, presented a petition on our behalf.  At the Moshi
Conference of the Afro-Asian Solidarity Council we sent a team of five members of the
Central Committee who shared the responsibility of presenting our case.  In the United
States I attended the first.Negro Leadership Conference on Africa where I presented
a background paper on  conditions in Mozambique and participated in informal discussions,
giving substantive information to the delegates.  Our university students in Europe
and North America also carry the responsibility of informing their fellow-students on
Mozambique whenever they attend international student conferences.  They have a student
organization, Uhiao Naoional dos Estudantes de Mocambique (UNEMO) which works in close
cooperation with FRELIMO• We believe that our ease against Portuguese colonialism
deserves to be known by all peoples of the world. We also hope that through this
knowledge the representatives of the peace/loving peoples of the world will be able to
take the proper steps to convince--Portugalof the stupidity of her position.
Finally, we have"decided to consider a crash programme for educational advancement
for the people of Mozambique., ■-..'_/ .0  ..Me.
I have made reference to the almost complete lack of education for the black
PeQples of Mozambique,  The Congress of FivisLIMO, taking into account the sad state
°£  educational facilities in our contry under Portuguese colonialism, has asked the
Central Committee to consider the education of the Mozambique people as a priority-
matter.
In response to this situation the Central Committee of FRELIMO has divided the
problem into three levels of action: the university level, the secondary level it
was decided that we should send out to all countries any available Mozambicans with
educational back-ground equivalent to secondary school.  For this purpose we have
sent out to most independent countries of the world requests for scholarships for
Mozambicans for education in any school above the secondary level.  W e have also
appealed to the United Nations to do all it can to help us in this respect.  Consequently,
we have received offers for scholarships from many countries in Eastern Europe, North
and South America and Western Europe.  So far \\Te  have been able to send out students to
the United States of America, where facilities for both training and transportation
were liberally given by governmental and private bodies; to Western Europe, especially
France, where training especially in medicine is being given to several Mozambicans,
and Italy, in Law and Economics. We also have seme  students in the Soviet Union,
taking courses in various fields of study, including technology. We have more scholarships offered to us than we can take.  Therefore we are making plans to develop a crash
secondary school programme to prepare these Mozambicans who are able to finish the last
years of their university entrance preparation.  We have already presented requests for
funds from private groups in the United States and else-where to enable us to co-ordinate
the efforts of those educational organizations which are now trying to help us with
training facilities.
