FRELIMO

The publications of FRELIMO, the Mozambique Liberation Front. During the armed struggle against Portuguese colonial rule its Department of Information and Propaganda, working from the movement's exile headquarters in Dar es Salaam, issued political posters, bulletins and pamphlets, including the English-language Mozambique Revolution. After independence in 1975 the department issued party documents such as Tarefas concretas e imediatas a realizar (Maputo, 1976) before its work passed, around 1976, to the new state's bodies, among them the National Directorate of Propaganda and Publicity (DNPP). FRELIMO has governed Mozambique since independence and continues to publish as a party.
