KEW ffEAS MESSAGE, TO THE J^ATOUCAN PEOPLE^ /; : :: •'r
MOZAMBICAN PEOPLE,
When FRELIMO solemnly proclaimed the beginning of the armed
struggle of the Mozambican people against Portuguese colonialism^.
on the 25"th September, 1964, FRELIIviO was sure that colonialism
would be destroyed,that the fiozanibican people would stay firm,
valiant, and be prepared for all sacrifies for the victory of
their liberation struggle. This is happening. Our people are . r.
carrying out the struggle heroically: already several heroes of
the people have sprinkled the soil of their fatherland with their
blood, so that Mozambique may become free tomorrow.
To all those who at this moment/fight so that our aspirations
of freedom, equality and progress may become reality, to them
all, I, the president of FRELIMO, in the name of the Central
Committee, convey revolutionary greetings and congratulations on
your revolutionary behaviour. I pay homage to those who fell in
battle. I urge courage to all F3ELIM0 militants: they can be
ascertained that final victory is on our side#, that the day of
our freedom near'..
In the moments of setbacks, discouragement, hesitation, we
must inpire ourselves on our History. Mozambican heroism is
rooted in the past, is traditional-When the Portuguese invaded. ...

our country, the people rose at once in resistance against the xi •
invader. It was only due to their better armaments that the;;. ...:•.•
Portuguese succeeded in dominating our people. But this domination is temporary. There have been numerous cases of resistance
against the invader in the history of Mozambique. Today, this
resistance is much stronger than ever: it is organized, it has
a good, well-structured direction-PRELIl:0. On the other hand,
today, v/e are no longer isolated in the struggle: V/e have the
support of other people. World solidarity with our struggle is
always mounting: there are friendly and willing countries which
help us with arms sqmetimes better than, those possessed by the
Portuguese. This, combined v/ith our firm determination to free
ourselves, and further, the .justice of our cause and the demoralization of the enemy, and its isolation in the international
