VOCES DESDE MOZAMBIQUE: Himno de Josina Machel

Poema "This is the time", Josina Machel.

This is the time
we were waiting for.
Our guns are light in our hands
the reasons and aims of the struggle
clear in our minds.
The blood shed by our heroes
makes us sad but resolute.
It is the price of our freedom.
We keep them close in our hearts
from their example new generations
- revolutionary generations -
are already being born.
Ahead of us we see bitter hardships.
But we see also
our children running free
our country plundered no more.
This is the time to be ready
and firm.
The time to give ourselves
to the Revolution.

Discurso de Eduardo Mondlane.Creación del FRELIMO. 25/09/1964

MOZAMBICAN PEOPLE,
Workers and peasants, workers on the plantations, in the timber mills and in the concessions, workers in the mines, on the railways, in the harbours and in the factories, intellectuals, civil servants, Mozambican soldiers in the Portuguese army, students, men and young people, patriots,
IN THE NAME OF ALL OF YOU
FRELIMO today solemny proclaimes the general armen insurrection of the Mozambican people against Portuguese colonialism for the attainment of the complete independence of Mozambique.

Una historia que recupera las raíces del pasado para reconstruir un presente.

El rostro de las mujeres de Mozambique está cargado de vidas no contadas, silenciadas…

Voces desde Mozambique rescata la voz de las mujeres africanas que luchan diariamente, por activar el desarrollo de África. Cinco historias que representan el ciclo de vida de la mujer. Y la sombra de un mito reencarnado en todas ellas: Josina Machel, primera heroína y guerrillera mozambiqueña, que luchó por la independencia y por los derechos de la mujer.
Mujeres que continúan reclamando un espacio de voz y reivindican la de Josina, convirtiéndola en la suya propia.
