the former, Mozambican carvings bore witness to the cultural vitality of the fighting Mozambican people. These carvings, the product of a rebirth and reexamination of traditional cultural forms, illustrated the Mozambican life of today — combat and production - while also recalling still fresh memories of exploitation and colonial repression - the palmatoria and the mashila. Agricultural produce from the liberated areas was displayed on a special stand at the Agricultural Production stand. Samples of products from the liberated regions — cashew nuts, sesame seeds, groundnuts, tobacco, wax, castor oil seeds of various types — together with statistics on the growth of the major exports from the liberated areas, enabled the visitors to acquaint themselves with certain aspects of the economic life of free Mozambique. However, the main feature of the FRELIMO display was the FRELIMO House. Built out of materials brought from Mozambique arid using the type of construction used in the liberated areas, this House, situated near the Liberation Movement stand attracted more than 50,000 visitors who, as they toured it were able to see various aspects of the Mozambican people's struggle. Aspects of oppression and exploitation were shown through cartoons, photographs and carvings. The display, with its accompanying texts, showed the development of the armed forces for liberation and their equipment, the participation of women and the involvement of the masses in the armed struggle. Education, health, agricultural production and handicrafts in the liberated areas illustrated either by photographs and statistical charts, or by examples of the textbooks used in our schools and in health education and production incentive campaigns. FRELIMO militants showed all the groups of visitors around, telling them the historical background of the various features of the struggle and answering their questions. Two Mozambican sculptors worked ebony and ivory outside the FRELIMO House before a crowd of curious and interested people who came back in the evening to see the photographic slides projected onto the central facade. The FRELIMO house was honoured by visits from illustrious guests. The President of Kenya, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, made a lengthy tour of our House, listening to the explanations of the head of The FRELIMO House was a big attraction for visitors to the Fair. the FRELIMO delegation, Joaquim Chissano, who presented him with a parting gift of a souvenir album on the liberation struggle and records of FRELIMO songs. The encouraging words of that veteran nationalist fighter, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, expressed Kenya's unreserved support for the liberation struggle. The Second Vice-President and Prime Minister of the United Republic of Tanzania, His Excellency Rashidi Kawawa, accompanied by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, His Excellency John Malecela made one of his first visits at the Fair to the FRELIMO House, where he renewed the fighting greetings and profound solidarity which unite our two peoples. The OAU Secretary General, His Excellency Diallo Telli, came to express the OAU General Secretariat's immense satisfaction at the great success of our display. Among the other notable visitors were His Excellency M. Koinange, Minister of State in the Office of the President of the Republic of Kenya, His Excellency A. Jamal, Minister for Commerce and Industry of the United Republic of Tanzania, Robert Gardiner, Director of the Economic Commission for Africa, the Director of the Fair, the Vice-Minister for Agriculture of the Republic of Kei. a, the heads of the delegations from Algeria, Cameroun, Madagascar... The Kenyan people and other visitors from Africa and other continents participated massively in this great festival of solidarity by contributing materially to the Mozambican people's struggle. A large number of publications in English and Swahili and also writing pads — sold at support prices - were completely sold out. Giving the most dynamic proof of the emergence of a new unitary and revolutionary Mozambican culture, a group of 30 young people coming from the schools the health centres, the liberation army, the women's detachment, the co-operatives and the militia, these young nonprofessional artists presented a 35-minute programme of dances from the various regions of Mozambique and allegorical sketches on the liberation struggle. The group performed twice in the Grand Arena. During the last days of the Fair, the group performed on three more occasions outside the FRELIMO House, amidst popular enthusiasm. Mozambique's participation in all aspects of the All Africa Fair was a great success from the point of view of informing the people. Above all, it showed the will of FRELIMO and the people of Mozambique to be present and playing their full part in the common endeavours of the African masses for their advancement and true independence. 21
