The reason for these successes, what explains them, what made them possible, was our struggle to make the cadres, fighters and masses live by our revolutionary ideology and implement it in a vital way. The seventh year started with the transformation of our armed struggle into a Revolution, with the intense battle to create a new mentality. The seventh year was the point of departure of the conscious development of the nature of our organisation, of its development into a vanguard party of the working masses in our country, a vanguard party with a vanguard ideology. During the eighth year of our struggle, during the tenth year since the creation of FRELIMO, we must intensify this battle and work in a more thoroughgoing way. This means, concretely, greatly advancing the work of political education, especially among the fighters, and most particularly among the cadres, to make the fighters and above all the cadres living examples of the new mentality, active transformers of society, creators and promotors of our advanced, scientific, revolutionary ideology. This demands greater vigilance of the masses and cadres, constant purification of our rariks, winning over militant elements and strengthening genuinely revolutionary comrades. This action cannot take place merely in the realm of ideas. For ideas to live, to develop, they need practice, just as a plant needs sun and water. Concretely, our ideology must be given increased material form and must be something which is actually lived, both at the structural level and in day-to-day work. This means developing collective methods of leadership production and trade. It means stepping up the development of the people's committees. It means strengthening work in study combined with practice. We are entering this eighth year under excellent conditions, both internally and internationally. While assessing the internal situation, it is also important to consider the situation on the international front. During the seventh year, our prestige and the international solidarity with FRELIMO grew, the support for our people grew. This year, Portugal was even further isolated internationally. Portugal found itself forced to leave international organisations such as UNESCO for fear of the disgrace of being expelled. In the imperialist countries allied with Portugal there was increased popular opposition to Portugal. Even within the Church, until recently Portugal's unconditional ally voices such as those of the White Fathers were raised against Portuguese colonialism and in support of our people. In Portugal the true patriots are demonstrating against the war and organising daring acts of sabotage against the colonialist war machinery. In the socialist countries, the African countries, the countries adjacent to Mozambique, respect for and solidarity with our struggle and people increased considerably. All these victories are a direct and important result of the growth of our struggle. Our struggle is growing, growing both in extent and in strength. Our struggle is growing because we are growing. The results we achieve are created by our unity, the unity of the people, the unity of the fighters and leaders. We are now entering into our eighth year of war. This year will be either good or bad, depending on our work. When we sow cassava, cassava grows, and when we sow nothing, weeds grow. The eighth year will be a year of great victories, because we are preparing for this, but it will also be a year of greater sacrifice in which the enemy's crimes will be increased. During this eighth year there will be more foreign troops in Mozambique and there will be more and bigger bombing raids. But we are also sure that, just as the seventh year marked the advance of the struggle to south of the Zambezi, the eighth year will mark even bigger advances. The eighth year will see us creating solid support bases, the eighth year will see us furthering the advance. Everything that we are doing is the result of sacrifice. Our thoughts and our determination must derive stimulation and strength from the example of the comrades who, fully assuming our ideology and with the interests of the people in their hearts, have given up their lives for the victory of the revolution. Let us show our respect for the sacrifice of the comrades who have fallen by intensifying the struggle. In so doing, we will be accomplishing our national duty and also our duty of solidarity with all peoples, our internationalist duty. LONG LIVE REVOLUTION DAY! LONG LIVE THE SEVENTH ANNIVERSARY OF OUR PEOPLE'S WAR! LONG LIVE FRELIMO! LONG LIVE THE MOZAMBICAN PEOPLE UNITED FROM THE ROVUMA TO THE MAPUTO!
