Mozambique - History and Politics Portugal's "right of occupation" of Mozambique was recognized at the Berlin conference of 1884-85 but most of the present borders of the country were fixed on the map only by the Anglo-Portuguese conventions of 1891. Mozambique's closure of the border with Rhodesia in 1976 and its support for Rhodesian liberation movements as well as its support for the African National Congress (ANC) during the 1980s had led to commando raids by Rhodesian and South African forces into Mozambican territory. The most serious threat to Mozambique's stability at present lies not in the prospect of a return to arms by either of the main parties and a renewal of the civil war, but in the danger of increasing crime and violence as the economy fails to expand quickly enough to satisfy the needs of ex-combatants. www.iss.co.za /AF/profiles/Mozambique/Politics.html   (4067 words)

Untitled Document Although Young, at least, was in Mozambique in the 1990s (he was present at a speech by President Joaquim Chissano in 1992 and was a United Nations observer at the 1994 elections), the book does not include much evidence of data collection or interviews conducted in Mozambique, or with Mozambicans. Hall and Young simply ignore this aspect of Mozambique's colonial legacy, making it appear that all problems were related to the model of a centralized socialist economy.

Brief History of Mozambique Mozambique was a colony of Portugal until 1975, when an 11-year war of independence ended with the establishment of an independent, Marxist government.
