FRELIMO

forge simple words
that even children can understand,
words which will enter every house,
like the wind
and tall like red hot embers,
on our people's souls,
(for) in our land, bullets are beginning
to flower.

Jorge Rebelo

FRELIMO

(FOR) IN OUR LAND,
BULLETS ARE BEGINNING TO FLOWER

The Second Congress notes that the building of a new life in the liberated zones is a requirement of the struggle for national liberation. The liberated zones shall constitute the material basis for growth of our revolutionary armed struggle for national liberation. In that sense, the growth of production assumes special importance.

It is necessary for us to produce progressively the material goods we need for the growth of our armed struggle. We should promote the development of agriculture, industry, cottage industries, always directing our activities towards the meeting of the interests of our people's revolution.

Hand in hand with production, we shall develop commerce, both internal and external. We should also promote the development of education and health services. At the same time, we should promote customs now enriched by our effort to create a new reality: a united and free Mozambique.
