Mondlane's policy of mercy towards Portuguese civilian settlers was abandoned in 1973 by the new chief, Samora Machel.[96] "Panic, demoralization, abandonment and a sense of futility - these were the emotions among whites in Mozambique" states a historian of this conflict, T. H. Henricksen in 1983.[64] This change led to the emergence of protests by Portuguese settlers against the Lisbon government,[1] an indicator of the unpopularity of the conflict. Coupled with the news of the Wiriyamu massacre, and with the renewed attacks by FRELIMO in 1973 and 1974, the worsening situation in Mozambique will contribute in the future to the fall of the Portuguese government in 1974. A Portuguese journalist argued:
“ "In Mozambique we say that there are three wars: a war against FRELIMO; a war between the army and the secret police; and a war between the army and the secret police and the central government."[97] Reciprocamente, a política de Mondlane de misericórdia para com os colonos civis portugueses foi abandonada, em 1973, pelo novo chefe, Samora Machel.[96] "Pânico, desmoralização, abandono e sensação de futilidade - eram estas as emoções entre os brancos em Moçambique" afirma um historiador deste conflito, T. H. Henricksen em 1983.[64] Esta mudança levou ao surgimento de protestos dos colonos portugueses contra o governo de Lisboa,[1] um sinal indicador da impopularidade do conflito. Juntamente com as notícias do massacre de Wiriyamu, e com os renovados ataques da FRELIMO em 1973 e 1974, o agravamento da situação em Moçambique contribuirá no futuro para a queda do governo português em 1974. Um jornalista Português argumentou: | “ | "Em Moçambique dizemos que existem três guerras: uma guerra contra a FRELIMO; uma guerra entre o exército e a polícia secreta; e uma guerra entre o exército e a polícia secreta e o governo central."[97] | ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: Edgar Valles <[email protected]>To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>Sent: Friday, May 12, 2023 at 07:39:13 PM GMT+1Subject: Re: [GRN] April 25, 1974: It all started in India (Goa) and ended in Lisbon It is really true, what Nuno wrote.

And above all, he shed blood. French television, INA.fr, filmed a Portuguese military column in Guinea-Bissau, which fell into an ambush in the 70's. The images from 3.30 minutes are shocking.
