Last August a very important meeting of cadres from Tete and Manica e Sofala provinces was held in Tete. The meeting was chaired by the President of FRELIMO, Comrade Samora Machel, accompanied by Comrade Joaquim Chissano. The general situation was analysed, the strategy reviewed for both provinces and some directives laid down or emphasised. Here we publish some excerpts from a message previously sent by the President of FRELIMO to the Political and Military Commander of Manica e Sofala. k? -tf»*y £9ft» apply our principles -and march to victory The situation in Mozambique has long been concealed behind a curtain of colonialist lies. Today, because fighting is in progress in relatively developed areas in which imperialist interests are very great, so that foreign attention is focussed on these areas, Portugal is being forced, very much against its will, to reveal a part of the truth, albeit as little as possible and in a distorted form. This attitude on the part of the enemy shows that the comrades have been able to define their targets, hitting the enemy's most sensitive spots. Someone who is hit full in the stomach is at least forced to groan, independent of his will. The colonialist's groans are beginning to make themselves heard. The importance of the area, however, is mainly due to the already established or prospective imperialist interests there. At the same time the geographical position of the province makes it a natural route of access to the south of our country and a buffer zone for the neighbouring racist regimes. The area is therefore a zone of conflict between ourselves and imperialism, a strategic zone for the deployment of forces. And this aggregation of factors, .combined with the ever increasing failures of the Portuguese troops, who are unable to ensure the security of international roads and railways, unable to provide protection for continued imperialist economic exploitation, explains the recent measures taken with a view to intensifying international aggression against our people. THE CONDITIONS FOR OUR VICTORY If we are to win the battle which is now under way and to consolidate the victories so far achieved, we need to apply our principles creatively and unwaveringly. 11
