149. As President Samora Moises Machel said in the statement I have already mentioned: "We reject the theory that claims armed struggle and negotiation to be mutually exclusive, to be contradictions in the process of national liberation. We do not like war, but we realize that when the contradiction is unsolvable, war is the only solution to bring about peace. 150. it is high time for the imperialism to understand that it can no longer dupe us, that we will no longer allow ourselves to be misled. The Powers which have assumed responsibilities, particularly the Power that has colonized Southern Rhodesia, should clarify their position and choose possible terms for the only true solution. In other words, they should either participate in the process of genuine and immediate independence or openly declare that they have assumed and adopted the positions of the racist and illegal Smith regime.
