Students of Lodern economic and labour practices have described our
situation, and th.at of cur brother Angolans and Guineans (under
Portuguese rule) eas being that of modern slavery. Modern slavery
is defined as a system of labour exploitation in which the slaveowner does not take any responsibility for the welfare of the human
being he uses. The Portuguese government mokes profits out of us,
while at the same time the various economic interests which make
direct use of us accumulate large profits. Therefore, we can conclude,
on the basis of the facts above, that Mozambique is a slave reservoir
for both Portuga.1 and the economic interests controlling the major industries of Southern, C-ntral and East Africa.
I have not given you a profound analysis of the Portuguese colonial
system, I have only tried to show you some facts. This will enable you
to understand the reasons for our struggle and the difficulties we encounter.
The Mozambique Liberation Front is the organisation which is today
called upon to shake up this whole situation, and move the people forwards not only to independence, but also to transform Mozambique into a
prosperous country - in which human exploitation, illiteracy, misery
and injustice will be eliminated.
At our First Congress^ .in September 19^2, ^wre set up an immediate
. programme "Of ""action which is now being carried out. Our struggle is
being waged in several different fields:-
1. Mobilising and organising the peop&e inside the country.
2. Preparing political and military cadres.
3. Preparing technical cadres in order to be able to satisfy the needs
of the reconstruction of our country.
4. Informing and mobilising interneational opinion against the Portuguese colonitalism.
V7e have many difficulties, but we feel that the support of our
people for our decision to fight and carry forward the struggle is very
encouraging, and we are sure that we shall win.
That, then, is the situation in our country.
That Í6 also our position in FRELIMO.
We want to stress once more our greatitude to the Movement for
Colonial Freedom for having given us this opportunity to inform you,
the British people, about our problems. We are sure that after this
contact with us you will devote a little more of your time to this
particular problem of peace.
Because we think that fighting for the liberation of our country
means that we are concretely participating in the struggle for the
establishment of a peaceful world.
Thank you Ladies and Gentlemen and Friends.
