  Mozambique - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Mozambique
The first European to reach Mozambique was Vasco da Gama in 1498, and the country became a Portuguese colony in 1505.
From 1980 Mozambique was faced with widespread drought, which affected most of southern Africa, and attacks by mercenaries under the banner of the Mozambique National Resistance (MNR) – also known as Renamo – who were covertly but strongly backed by South Africa.
Mozambique's economic problems were aggravated in 1987 by food shortages, after another year of drought.

 The World Factbook 2004 -- Mozambique
At independence in 1975, Mozambique was one of the world's poorest countries.

Mozambique's once substantial foreign debt has been reduced through forgiveness and rescheduling under the IMF's Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) and Enhanced HIPC initiatives, and is now at a manageable level.
