there is a ,!split" within the movement, as some people still suggest,
then it is a split between many thousands and r>*.a individual. I was
told of a recent mass meeting in one of the bases I visited. Out of
3000 participants only three knew Simango by face.
The by far deepest impression left on me is generally the human
and political atmosphere I found everywhere—both within FRELIMO
and between liberation army and civilian population as well (if one
can draw a difference at all). Due to the language difficulties I could
not understand all the talks* But also without understanding the words,
one gets a feeling for the relationship between leaders and soldiers*
between freedom fighters and villagers. It is a relationship of mutual
understanding and trust which 1 found many indications for, a highly
developed political and moral unity* I found ample evidence for what
the army commander Samora Machel told me when I met him inside
Mozambique: HOur struggle is not characterized by gunshots, but
by political work.*1
One final remark: I am the first German who visited the free
part of Mozambique. I have to underline this fact for one particular
reason: Already on the second day of my trip I became eye witness
of a Portuguese air attack, wounding women and children whom I
saw later in a FRELIMO hospital in the bush. The bombs were dropped by a Dornier DO 27, a West German military plane supplied to
Portugal. Among other NATO weapons I have also seen and photographed West German guns and machine guns which FRELIMO captured from Portuguese army bases.
FRELIMO leaders assured me that they know the difference between
West Germany as one of the staunchest allies of Portugal, and the German Democratic Republic as one of those countries who support wholeheartedly the liberation struggle. As a German, however, I feel
ashamed of what the other German state is doing* After my return from
Mozambique, I consider as one of my most urgent tasks to contribute
with my journalistic reports as much as possible to mobilize public
opinion in order to force the West German government to withdraw its
support for the enemies of the Mozambican people.
