Mozambique is "committed to the deepening of multi-party democracy and to the culture of peace and progress", declared President Armando Guebuza on Thursday.
Mozambique's decision to enforce UN sanctions against Rhodesia and deny that country access to the sea led Ian Smith's regime to undertake overt and covert actions to destabilize the country.
Mozambique is a member of the Non-Aligned Movement and ranks among the moderate members of the African Bloc in the United Nations and other international organizations.

  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.

 Rhodesia - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
ZANU was led by Robert Mugabe, latterly based in Mozambique and was supported by China.
Initially, the war was very one-sided since the Rhodesian government was able to deploy an overwhelming superiority in manpower, firepower and mobility, but the situation changed suddenly after the end of Portuguese colonial rule in Mozambique in 1975.
Mugabe and the victorious fl nationalists were rather less concerned by Operation Quartz than by the possibility that there might be a mass exodus of the white community of the kind that had caused chaos in Mozambique five years earlier.

 Zanzibar - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
During this period, the Sultan of Zanzibar also controlled a substantial portion of the east African coast, known as Zanj, including Mombasa and Dar es Salaam.
In November 1886, a German-British border commission established the Zanj as a 10-nautical-mile-wide strip along the coast from Cape Delgado (now in Mozambique) to Kipini (now in Kenya) including all offshore islands and several towns in what is now in Somalia.
However, from 1887 to 1892, all of these mainland possessions were subsequently lost to the colonial powers of Britain, Germany, and Italy although some were not formally sold or ceded until the 20th Century (e.g., Mogadishu to Italy in 1905 and Mombasa to Kenya in 1963).

The first notable appearance of Winston Churchill was as a war correspondent in the second Anglo-Boer war between Britain and self-proclaimed Afrikaaners in South Africa.
He was captured in a Boer ambush of a British Army train convoy, but managed a high profile escape and eventually crossed the South African border to Lourenço Marques (now Maputo in Mozambique).
