Maputo (IINA) – Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi said Friday that the former liberation movements of southern Africa that are now ruling parties “must remain united and in solidarity, today as yesterday, in order to overcome the obstacles along our march which is still long”, News agencies reported.
He made the remarks while opening a summit of heads of the former liberation movements attended by the presidents, or their representatives, of Frelimo (Mozambique), MPLA (Angola), the ANC (South Africa) SWAPO (Namibia), ZANU-PF (Zimbabwe) and Chama Cha Mapinduzi (Tanzania).
Speaking in his capacity as President of Frelimo, Nyusi told the summit that “the end of colonialism and of apartheid in our countries marked the start of a new historical stage. It is a stage where we have, on the one hand, won political power, but, on the other, we must, in the battle for economic development, build the dignity necessary for our peoples”.
Parties are not like individuals, Nyusi stressed. “They cannot and must not grow old," he said. “Instead, they must remain young because the ideals we defend are as necessary and legitimate as they were yesterday”.
