from a Special Correspondent. The "Youth Forces for National Liberation" (YFNL) is the name of a newly constituted Youth Movement in Jamaica. It proclaims itself as part of the International liberation Movement and the International anti-imperialist front, and affirms its solidarity with "our brothers" in the Congo, South Africa, Mozambique, Angola, South Vietnam, Latin America, the West Indies, and Cuba.
On its home front the Movement stands for the ending of the colonial two-party system headed by Bustamante and Manley, and for the establishment of a Peoples’ Republic with full power in the hands of the workers and peasants. It calls upon all young men 4nd women = employed and unemployed, students and intellectuals - to join the struggle against imperialism and local tyranny. Says the YFNL;: "Three hundred years have passed since we were brought from Africa as slaves. The degradation of slavery, the injustices of British rule, and now the unbearable pressure of U.S. imperialist domination, disease, illiteracy and hunger have been our only reward. The leaders we have elected have betrayed our national sovereignty and national wealth. They do not speak for the people of Jamaica, but side with the white imperialists against the patriots of Africa, Asia and Latin America."
