BERLIN
One of the central themes of
the Berlin Youth Festival,
which was attended by 25,000
youths plus 500,000 youths
from the G.D.R., was "Youth
Condemns Imperialism". The
delegations from Mozambique,
Vietnam, the Soviet Union,
France, Chile, Japan and the
U.S. presented reports on the
crimes committed by imperialism - massacres, wars of
aggression, the militarist and
fascist regimes which it sets
up and protects, subversive
activities against popular regimes, the creation of centres
of tension through military
bases, brutal exploitation of
the working class etc.
FRELIMO, the MPLA and the
PAIGC held a large exhibition,
again on the theme "The
People of Mozambique, Angola and Guine and Cape
Verde accuse Imperialism".
Our three delegations showed
photos, sculptures and films.
The inscriptions on the captured weapons and on the
wreckage of planes shot down
by our fighters provided clear
evidence of the imperialist
participation in our wars, as
well as our people's success
in the liberation fight.
Our aim in participating in
these Festivals was first of
all to express the Mozambican people's solidarity with
the struggle of other oppressed peoples of Africa and the
world. Also to reaffirm our
total involvement in the common struggle of World Youth
for freedom from colonialism,
neo-colonialism and imperialism, and to express our conviction of the need to reinforce this front. We also
wished to exchange experiences - to learn from other
people's revolutions and to
put at their disposal the experiences we have gained in
the fields of armed struggle
and in building a new society.
The FRELIMO Youth Delegation participated essentially
in the following activities:
- active   participation   in
forums,      seminars,  symposiums and solidarity meetings;
- exhibitions of photos
paintings, cartoons and captured weapons;
- presentation of dance
troupe;
- bilateral meetings with
other delegations.
