It was in this context that on 25 June 1962, Mozambican patriots, under the leadership of Comrade Eduardo Chi- vambo Mondlane, launched a new and victorious phase of national resistance: the creation of FRELIMO, which made possible the Mozambican people's organised and united struggle. The creation of FRELIMO provided the decisive and fundamental weapon of unity for the Mozambican people's fight. FRELIMO, rooting itself in the purest traditions of the age-old struggle of the Mozambican working masses, assuming the true interests of the broad exploited, oppressed and humiliated strata, was able to clearly define the aims and methods of the fight for liberation. In two years, under the watchword of unity and struggle against Portuguese colonialism and imperialism, FRELIMO created the necessary conditions for the liberation struggle to go over to the phase of general armed insurrection, thus cementing and making operative the unity achieved. It was under the leadership of FRELIMO and integrated in the ranks of FRELIMO that the Mozambican people redeemed the blood spilled over generations, regained command of their own history, made useful the sacrifice of their own lives, destroyed the enemy's vital forces, fully affirmed their African revolutionary personality, and imposed defeat on the colonial-fascist regime. It was under the leadership of President Comrade Eduardo Chivambo Mon dlane, whose glorious and unforgettable memory we venerate, that the Mozambican people consolidated their real unity, structured their organisation and, having exhausted peaceful means, launched the armed struggle for national liberation. It was under the direction of FRELIMO, guided by the political line clear in the formulation of objectives and in the definition of the enemy, that the Mozambican people defeated the Portuguese colonial army. Mozambicans, Workers, peasants, and fighters, Mozambican people, In the name of all of you, at 00 hours today, 25 th June 1975, the Central Committee of FRELIMO solemnly proclaims the total and complete Independence of Mozambique, and the creation of the People's Republic of Mozambique. The newly-born Republic is the con- cretisation of the aspirations of all Mozambicans, the extension to the whole country of the freedom already conquered during the liberation armed struggle in some areas of our country, the product of the sacrifices of nationalist fighters, the whole Mozambican People, the concretisation of our victory. Our People's Republic is born from the blood of the people. Its consolidation and development is a debt of honour for every patriotic and revolutionary Mozambican. The sovereign and independent People's Republic of Mozambique is a People's Democratic State, in which all patriotic strata under the leadership of the alliance of peasants and workers are engaging themselves in the struggle to destroy the vestiges of colonialism and imperialist dependence, to eliminate the system of exploitation of man by man, and build the new material, ideological, political, cultural, social and administrative base of the new society.
