Under the colonial yoke, working people have a double load to bear.

1. The native property owners and rulers,

2. Foreign colonial rulers.

The colonial rulers must be got rid of first. They are brutal and plunder the country. They hold back the development of the country.

They try to divide the masses.

In the struggle against the colonialists the native property owners can and must be won over. But then the native yoke must be shaken off.
