Map*   Chairman, Your Excellencies, friends and brothers in the
struggle for the liberation of Africa, allow me on behalf of the
%   Central Committee of the Mozambique Revolutionary Committee (CCjRBwC)
and  its Supreme High Command to congratulate you en the success of
convening this session of the African Liberation Committee an*: to
wish you success in all your bid to liberate the remaining African
countries still under the yoke of colonial Domination.
Mr. Chairman, Your Excellencies, friends and  brothers, the
year 1967, v/ill be an important land-mark in the history of the African liberation movement and the entire Continent of Africa, the national liberation movements are determined more than ever before to
fiqht imperialist and colonialist forces in all the dependent countries* Cur movement would like to assure Your Excellencies that it
will do everything in its power tc intensify the armed revolution
in Mozambique. Like all the revolutionary and progressive national
liberation movements, v/e believe very strongly that the liberation
of the unliberated countries of Africa will be accelerated by the
materialisation of the principles of the Organisation of the African Unity fs Charter (C#A.U.)« ,/e are sure that if lip service is not
paid the principles of the C.A.U. will be of great help to the liberation movements.
Nevertheless, our organisation is detrmined to continue fighting the Portuguese colonial forces in kiozanbique; guided by the
spirit of self-reliance, fte  have  managed to score one victory after
another, and  gloriously to control the political consciousness of
our people in all the areas v/here we have been operating and we even
v/ent to the extent of disrupting the moral and the economic posi-
f tion of the enemy. The physical reouirements of our liberation struggle today are  mainly involving military activities and tremendous
resources of a different nature because the enemy we are fighting
has highly militarised our Country. To meet these reouirements we
have appealed a^ain and again to your Committee for assistance, but
v/e arc sorry to say that uo to now v/e have never had a favourable
reply. Taking into account our difficulties, we have been encountering as Freedom Fighters both at hone and abroad, we have not been
worried but inspired by the solidarity of the anti-imperialist forces in Africa, Asia and Latin America and other progressive movements
throughout the world which are scoring glorious victories against
imperialism, colonialism and neo-colonialism; v/e v/ere able to defy9*,v*V>
and all the difficulties v/e have been facing.
