their own intellectualism, refused to cooperate and join hands together with other Mozambican Movements and they left the historio meet
ingi without any comments or suggestions3 On v/hom does the blame
now hang? Is it eorreat that a struggle of seven and half million
people be undermined by one Party?
Consequently v/hen*the Frelimo leaders abandoned the
meeting the other remaining leaders agreed to join hands forming
what v/e called COREMO or Mozambique Revolutionary Committee and few
months afterwards the struggle of the people started in spite of the
lack of material and moneyo
In January this year- , the Coordinating Committee of
Eleven of this Organisation for African Unity, held its meeting here
in Kinshasa where hot debates on the progress of the struggle of Southern Africa took place0  We v/ere there and v/e took part in it*  We
w&!£0 allowed to get into the conference where we v/ere able to present
► our case as determined freedom-fighters© Our petition dealt with
our recognition by the Liberation Coordinating Committee of Eleven©
After the meeting, if v/e are not mistaken^ we heard something tantamount to partial ^^o^nijHon of COREMO*  In another worda, it was decided that our movement should receive some kind of material #&pj,or$
to enable us to carry/armed struggle0  This, of course, pleased us for
such aid was important Cor a struggle0 But it was a great surprise
when we received an official letter feom the Executive Secretary of
the Coordinating Committee, Mr0 George Magombe, inviting us to disband our movement in order to join FRELIMO as individuals*  V/e rightly
rejected this call© Vie  are recognised popular peopleTs movement©
We are prepared to form a UNITED FRONT any time with FRELIMO or
any other progressive movement in our country©  But, why call on
us to disband?? Why not call on FRELIMO to disband? We are sure
that they will leix.gn  at such suggestion©  We have sta-to&l categorically that we are prepared for a UNITED FRONT any timec  But the onus
does notli^D on our shoulders.  It is on the other movemeits •  Speak
to them we say0
COREMO is in the bush in Mozambique fighting the Portuguese soldiers©
V/ith the help of material captured from the enemy, our guerrillas
have scored victory after victory**
Everyone should know that the leaders who formed COREMO had xeaohed
tho conclusion that the time for individual preferences v/as over,
petty ambitions and narrow intorosts of the individual giving place
to national ambitions of tho Mozambican peoplec
