Liberation movements have been fighting Government forces in the Portuguese dominated territories in African for a decade and more. In the words of the Angolan Leader, Agostinho Neto, they are working "to free and modernize our peoples by a dual revolution-against their traditional structure which can no longer serve them and against colonial rule". The United Nations has recognized the liberation movements as "the authentic representatives" of their peoples. The struggle in Mozambique is spearheaded by Frelimo (Frente de Liberacao de Mocambique) the Mozambique Liberation Front which claims control over more than a quarter of the country.

Headline Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) 
Caption Description In 1965 a minority, racist regime in Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) declared the British colony independent. The United Nations declared this action to be illegal and maintains that there should be no independence in the territory before majority rule has been affected. The UN Security Council has called on Member Governments to apply mandatory economic sanctions in an effort to topple the illegal regime – the first time in the history of the UN that such action has been called for. So far, this action has not achieved its goal.
Increasing guerilla activity by the African nationalists has forced the illegal regime to intensify its military activities on the borders even to the extent of recruiting women. South African military units are also being used to fight nationalists. In December 1974 and agreement was reached in Lusaka on the immediate release of all political prisoners and detainees and on the convening of a constitutional conference, to be followed by a general cease-fire. The Smith regime has not so far honored the terms of that agreement.
