Nothing ^i."",: f can what ondlane began The 3rd of February is a very important date in the heroic struggle of our people, and as a date of combat, it is one linked with blood and mourning. On the 3rd February, 1969, our comrade Eduardo Mondlane, founder of FRELIMO, architect of national unity, first President of our Movement, guide to Mozambican nationalism and pioneer of our revolution was assassinated. On the 3rd February, 1969, the Mozambican people lost one of their most beloved and devoted sons. Before he came we were divided, grains of sand scattered before the wind. While we were like that, while division existed colonialism exploited and humiliated us. Comrade Eduardo Mondlane brought us the force that bound us firmly together, that made a people of us, that made the tribes disappear so as to create a united Mozambique. Because of this the colonialists and imperialists hated him and identified him as their main target. They hated Eduardo Mondlane because they fear the people, the immense force of the people, organised and conscious, who can destroy for ever the power of the exploiters. Three years have passed since the death of FRELIMO's first President, Comrade Eduardo Chivambo Mondlane. In a message addressed to the Mozambican people on this occasion, FRELIMO's new President, Comrade Samora Moises Machel evoked the memory of the man who founded FRELIMO and set it on the correct path of the revolutionary armed struggle for national liberation. He explained at the same time the meaning of the assassination of President Mondlane and indicated the tasks that remain to be fulfilled in order to achieve the work initiated by our first President. We quote here the following excerpts from his message. Eduardo Mondlane created cadres, created structures, as he had created our Unity, as he had defined our political line. As a result the struggle did not stop with his death. Instead it spread: the Zambezi was crossed, the Montepuez was crossed, now everywhere the enemy is attacked, isolated, and put to flight. Eduardo Mondlane is not dead. It was he who, before, anyone else, understood and taught that our struggle should be a revolution of the peasants and the workers, and should involve the destruction of exploitation of man by man. As a result, he is forever present in the people's power that grows in our country. Our task is to continue Mondlane's life, to carry the revolution through to its conclusion and to complete the task which he left to us: expand the armed struggle, liberate the country, continue the revolution. Long live the unforgettable memory of President Mondlane! Long live the Mozambican people, united from the Rovuma to the Maputo! Long live the People's war of Liberation! Long live the Revolution! Independence or death. We shall win. Samora Moises Machel President of FRELIMO.
