In 1956, the arbitrary arrest of the
President of the Neucleu Negrofico
de Manica e Sofala, S. Simango, and
his associates sparked a clash of
which the Portuguese colonialists
were once more attacked by Africans.
In 1960, June 16th, due to the
suppression by the Portuguese
fascists, the Africans organized
themselves a peaceful demonstration
in Mueda, North of Mozambique
demanding the end of Portuguese
rule in Mozambique. This peaceful
demonstration was under the
command of Kibiriti Diwani and
Foustino Banomba.
The Portuguese colonialists and
fascists faced heavy blow. And later
on, the colonialists called a contingent of colonial troops from Porto
Amelia to Mueda, in order to suppress the demonstrators and killing
six hundred people. And Diwani
Banomba was sent to the undisclosed concentration Camp.
Since then after a long protracted
battles and campaign, the Portuguese imperialists, colonialists and
fascists have overtaken the territory
of Mozambique and set up their
fascists regime throughout the
country and declared " we will
never surrender until the death of
the last Portuguese man".
This declaration must be shortlived now due to the current drive
of National liberation struggle
• throughout the continent of Africa.
The anti-imperialist and colonialist
struggle in Mozambique must
triumph.
