Dear    Sir,
In reply to your dated  2nd November,I965>Ref. Ad-Hoc/List
B/I4C,   C.R.M./5/I*  I wish to  submit  the  following data ,elements an*1.
explanations  in support of our legimate application for membership
in A.A.P.S.O.:-
1) The Mozambique   Revolutionary  Committee   "COREMO"  Was  formed by
a  merger of Five  National liberation  movements  of Mozambique  viz/-
(I)   The Mozambique National Democratic Union   (UDENAMO),
(II)Mozambique  African National Union   (MANU)
(III) Mozambique-   National Democratic Union Monomotapa   (UDENAMO)
(IV) Independent Mozambique  African National Union.
And  the Mozambique African National  Congress   (MANC)
"COREMO"  was  formed  for the   sole purpose  of  fighting
fiercely against our common enemy/*
2) Par.I  shows     beyond  any  reasonable  doubt  that  COREMO is  a popular
and  militant national liberation movement of Mozambique which has
the  backing of  the  broad  masses  of  the  people  of Mozambique.No
doubt  COREMO is  an anti-imperialist,anti-cnlonialist and anti-neo-
colonialist #rganisation.
3) COREMO  stands for unity and as  such is not against  unity for a
comrLon cause against a  common enemy,this is  clearly amplified by
the fact  that  COREMt  is a  result  of  a  merger of  5  liberation
movements   (see  Par.l).
4) Attempts  to  bring PRELIMO to our fold on equal basis have been
rejected by PRELIMO on  two  occasions  i.e;/
(i)   In January ,1965 >   the African Liberation  Committee   called a  mee
ting between UDENAMO and  PRELIMO in Dar-Es-Salaam under the  chairmanship of  the  Assistant Executive  Secretary,  Dr. Samy Sadek.In that
meeting   ,PRELIMO  rejected  unity inspite  of  the fact  that we  compri-
mised a  lot to achieve  uitity.
(ii)   In March,  1965 * the  Zambia  Government alst  made  the attemp^to
bring us  closer and  closer to  unity,on the  25th March,1965 a  meeting  under the  Chairmanship of Mr. A.J .K.Kangwa-UNIP iinder secretary
for Pan African Affairs. In  snspite  of all the persnation exerted
by the  other Mozambican liberation movements and  the     chairman of
the  meeting   ,PRELIMO flatly  refused  to   unite with the  other Parties.
