The country was named Moambique by the Portuguese after Msumbiji, the Swahili name of Mozambique Island and port-town. At 801,590km, Mozambique is the 16th largest country in Africa. In Comparison it is one fifth of the actual size of the European Union (3 976 952 km2) or nearly the size of France plus Germany or three times size of Great Britain. Mozambique extends for 2,500km along the east coast of Africa. It is located on the Southeast coast of Africa. It is bound by Swaziland to the South, South Africa to the Southwest, Zimbabwe to the west, Zambia and Malawi to the northwest, Tanzania to the north and the Indian Ocean to the east. The country is divided into two topographical regions by the Zambezi River. Mozambique has tropical climate with two seasons, a wet season from October to March and a dry season from April to September. Climatic conditions, however, vary depending on altitude. Rainfall is heavy along the coast and decreases in the North and South. Annual precipitation varies from 500 to 900mm depending on the region with Cyclones are also common during the wet season. Maputo, capital is, formerly known as Lourenco Marques (LM), it offers a diverse and interesting culture, impressive architecture enchanting art work, magnificent beaches with a country steeped in History. Maputo has a distinctly Latin atmosphere not found anywhere else in Southern Africa. The centre for business is Maputo, but many other cities like Nampula, Beira, Chimoio, Nacala and Pemba are developing rapidly and attracting investors. Bordering countries are Malawi, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

political background
Mozambique, officially the Republic of Mozambique is a multi-party democracy under the 1990 constitution. The executive branch comprises a President, Prime-Minister, and Council of Ministers. The legislative power is represented by 250 deputies in the National Assembly. In 2003 and 2008 Mozambique held local elections of the Municipal Assemblies. (In 2009 elections for the Provincial Assemblies will be held in the 11 provinces and the city of Maputo). The judiciary power comprises a Supreme Court and provincial, district, and municipal courts. Suffrage is universal at eighteen. Since the first multiparty democratic elections in 1994, the political landscape in Mozambique has been dominated by two political parties: the Mozambique Liberation Front, Frente de Libertao de Moambique (FRELIMO), which is the current ruling party and the Mozambican National Resistance, Resistncia Nacional Moambicana (RENAMO), the main opposition party. FRELIMO won all general elections and is holding power and exert a strong control over the state apparatus since independence in 1975. RENAMO did not succeed in structuring the former guerrilla movement into a modern and efficient political party. It could not create a real political alternative and slowly lost its representation nationwide, especially in the provinces where it traditionally had a strong support.
Mozambique is divided into ten provinces (provincias) and one capital city (cidade capital) with the provincial status. The provinces are sub-divide into 129 districts (distritos). The districts are further divide in 405 Postos Administrativos (Administrative Post) and then into Localidades (Localities), the lowest geographical level of the central state administration. Since 1993, 33 Municipios, (Municipalities) have been created in Mozambique. The north central province of Zambezia and Nampula are the most populous. The Roman Catholic community makes around 24% of the population of Mozambique. Muslim comprise 18% of the population are particularly present in the north of the country, and people of the Protest ant community make up around of the countrys population. 18% of the people have other belief, 1%have no religious beliefs. The flag of Mozambique was adopted on May 1, 1983. It includes the image of an AK-47 and is the only national flag in the world to feature such a modern rifle. The original flag of the FRELIMO, the leading political party in Mozambique, also had green, black, and yellow horizontal stripes separated by white fimbriations. In the hoist was a red triangle. The black, green, and yellow were derived from the flag of the African National Congress, used in South Africa. On independence the colors were rearranged to form the national flag, in rays emanating from the upper hoist. Over this was a white cogwheel containing the hoe, rifle, book, and star that appear on the present flag. The flag was altered in 1983; the colours were arranged in horizontal stripes, and the star of Marxism was made larger. It is likely that a new, non-partisan flag will be introduced. Green stands for the riches of the land, the white fimbriations signify peace, black represents the African continent, yellow symbolizes the countrys minerals, and red represents the struggle for independence. The rifle stands for defense and vigilance, the open book symbolizes the importance of education, the hoe represents the countrys agriculture, and the star symbolizes Marxism and internationalism. The flag is based on the flag of the Mozambican Liberation Front (FRELIMO). The FRELIMO flag, used for a brief period after the country gained its independence from Portugal, looks like the current flag but lacking the emblem.
The National Emblem of Mozambique, which was adopted in 1990 in the Constitution of Mozambique article 194. The Article clearly states the design and meaning of the device. It shows a gear wheel, bordered by corn stalks and sugarcane. In the middle there is a red sun over a map of Mozambique in green and blue waves, an AK-47 crossed with a hoe, and a book. The wreath is tied with a ribbon bearing the name of the country. As described in the Mozambican constitution article 194[1] , the various parts of the emblem have a special symbolism, i.e. the corn stalk and the sugar cane represent agricultural/ wealth the cog wheel represents labor and industry the book represents education the hoe for peasantry and agriculture production the AK-47 for defense and vigilance The red star represents socialism, but is quoted in the Mozambican constitution to symbolize the spirit of international solidarity of the Mozambican people. the red sun symbolizes the building of a new life In 1994 we had Elections where by Joaquim Chissano was elected President with 53% of the vote, and a 250-member National Assembly was voted in with 129 Liberation Front of Mozambique Frelimo deputies, 112 Mozambique National Resistance - RENAMO deputies, and nine representatives of three smaller parties that formed the Democratic Union (UD). Since its formation in 1994, the National Assembly has made progress in becoming a body increasingly more independent of the executive by 1999, more than one-half (53%) of the legislation passed originated in the Assembly. In 1998 the country held its first local elections to provide for local representation and some budgetary authority at the municipal level. RENAMO (the opposition party) boycotted the local elections, citing flaws in the registration process. Independent slates contested the elections and won seats in municipal assemblies. In the aftermath of the 1998 local elections, the government resolved to make more accommodations to the oppositions procedural concerns for the second round of multiparty national elections in 1999. Working through the National Assembly, the electoral law was
political background
rewritten and passed by consensus in December 1998. Financed largely by international donors, a very successful voter registration was conducted from July to September 1999, providing voter registration cards to 85% of the potential electorate (more than seven million voters). The second general elections were held December 35, 1999, with large amounts of citizens voting than previous years. International and domestic observers agreed that the voting process was well organized and went smoothly, even with some flaws it was generally agreed the votes reflected the peoples will. President Chissano won the presidency with a margin of 4% points over the RENAMOElectoral Union coalition candidate, Afonso Dhlakama, and began his five-year term in January, 2000. FRELIMO increased its majority in the National Assembly with 133 out of 250 seats. RENAMO-UE coalition won 116 seats, one went independent, and no third parties are represented. The opposition coalition did not accept the National Election Commissions results of the presidential vote and filed a formal complaint to the Supreme Court. One month after the voting, the court dismissed the oppositions challenge and validated the election results. The opposition did not file a complaint about the results of the legislative vote. The second local elections, involving thirty-three municipalities with some 2.4 million registered voters, took place in November 2003. This was the first time that FRELIMO, RENAMOUE, and independent parties competed without significant boycotts. The 24% turnout was well above the 15% turnout in the first municipal elections. FRELIMO won twenty-eight mayoral positions and the majority in twenty-nine municipal assemblies, while RENAMO won five mayoral positions and the majority in four municipal assemblies. The voting was conducted in an orderly fashion without violent incidents. However, the period immediately after the elections was marked by objections about voter and candidate registration and vote tabulation, as well as calls for greater transparency.
history
A quest for discovering our past is to understand our present. A clear and deep understanding of how present day human cultures behave lays the principle for learning how to interpret the cultures of the past, to view a peoples as a whole adaptation to and from their environment, such as language, education, judicial systems etc. Mozambique consists of numerous kingdoms, originally Bantu hunters. The region is divided with natural boundaries by the two rivers: Zambezi and Limpopo. The area north of Zambezi river is dominated by the kingdoms of Makua, Yao, Maravi and others. The Shona Empire rules between the two rivers and this area later again becomes known as the kingdom of Zimbabwe. Most of the impressive stone Structures/Ruines known as Great Zimbabwe are situated in todays State of Zimbabwe. South of Limpopo several Thonga kingdoms develop during the 1400s. The Zimbabwe kingdom is followed by the Monomatapa Empire. The Monomatapa empire posses rich goldmines, which are later believed to be the legendary mines of King Salomon.It appears that Arab Traders settled along the coastline of East Africa. The new mixed Islamic-African culture leads to what is known as Swahili. It becomes known that the main source of gold was in Sofala, in the Buzi river. China and India are trading on the East Africa coast. Mozambique supplies copper, ivory and cotton. 1489 Bartolomeu Dias discovers the passage round the Cape of Good Hope, but never reaches Mozambique. Forced by a mutiny of his men he returns to Portugal. Vasco da Gama leaves Portugal and reaches Mozambique Island in February 1498.

1400s
In May 2004, the government approved a new general elections law that contained innovations based on the experience of the 2003 municipal elections. Presidential and National Assembly elections took place on December 12, 2004. FRELIMO candidate Armando Guebuza won with 64% of the popular vote. His opponent, Afonso Dhlakama of RENAMO, received 32% of the popular vote. FRELIMO won 160 seats in Parliament. A coalition of RENAMO and several small parties won the 90 remaining seats. Armando Guebuza was inaugurated as the President of Mozambique on 2 February 2005.
Vasco da Gama returns to Mozambique with more ships and weapons. In 1507 Portugal decides to build a permanent settlement on Mozambique Island. By 1560 all Islands off Mozambique had Portuguese trading in local commodities. Portugal tried to control the gold trade through the take over of the Muslim settlements at Tete, Quelimane and Sena. The Dutch East India Company (V.O.C) was formed and tried to take over Portugals Indian Ocean trade. In 1607 the Dutch tried to take over Mozambique Island in a six week siege that failed. Monomotapa died in 1597, followed by Gatse Lucere and then Inhamba who in 1628 murdered the Portuguese envoy to his Capital which lead to a war with Portugal, this was won by Portugal with them taking over Quelimane and Karangaland (Inhamba). Thereafter the Portuguese extend inland from the coast. Explorations start from the Zambezi river. As more land is discovered Portuguese farmers are encouraged to settle in the country. Portugals control ends by the late 1600s when a Changamire chief called Dombo kills the Portuguese settlers in Dambarare and takes over the gold field in Manica. This becomes known as the Rozvi Kingdom. Omani Arabs start attacking the east Africa coast taking Mombasa and eventually the Portuguese lose the coast north of Cabo Delgado.

The Mazungo chieftans form estates (Prazos), this land is granted to settlers by the Portuguese crown and are run by Prazeiros. Portuguese settlers have free reign as long as they pay the Prazo tax to the Portuguese crown. The farmer paying this tax also gains the rights to use the people in his territory for labour. As one of the few places in Africa it becomes common for the Portuguese landlords to adapt some degree of the African culture. The settlers become more Africanised and they refuse paying taxes to Portugal. Arab and Indian traders on the coast regain some of their power as control from Portugal is weekend. Maize and cassava are being introduced by the Portuguese in most of Africa. Portugal announces that Mozambique is now their colony. The Portuguese raise a fort in Loureno Marques and a town starts to develop around it. Severe droughts are experienced during the following years.

1400s
Slaves have become a major part of trade since the late 1700s. Many slaves are sent to Reunion, Mauritius as well as Brazil. The Portuguese slave trade blooms when Great Britain bans it. Approximately 1 million slaves are shipped from Mozambique during the 1800s. Conflicts between different African groups break out as some tribes are hunted while other groups function as slave traders. The Monomatapa Empire finally collapses under the continuing pressure from both Portugal and the new generation of Arab traders. Nguni people from South Africa take over the Thonga kingdoms (south of Zambezi) and form the Gaza Empire. Often archaeologists on certain finds draw conclusions by making comparisons with present-day cultural patterns. Mainly due to the relation between these cultures and the natural environment, the life stories of people who lived long ago help us learn about our common heritage as human beings. Studying past cultures and comparing them to help to us understand how our own culture has developed. We find that each human society has developed its own technology to allow it to make the best use of its surroundings. The tools or documentation of everyday life in ancient times provide clues not only of the material finds but of their way of life, their ethnic development

1500 - 1800s
Banco Nacional Ultramarino is formed with a 15 year monopoly in colonial banking and the first branch is opened on Mozambique Island. Diamonds are discovered in the Orange River and two years later Portugal officially abolishes slavery. ( In 1875 Mozambique Island was officially designated a depot for freed slaves and export of labour was officialised which meant all labourers had to receive contracts). Portugal can only control the Southern part of the country and chooses to lease out large territories in the North to trading companies, many of which are British. Britain and Germany had threatened to take over control of the colony, and this is the only solution for Portugal to hold on to their power. Slavery is on return, but forced labour, known as Chibalo, is used by these companies on plantations and for construction of roads and later railways.

history
The European countries split up Africa at the Berlin conference. Portugal claims all the land between Mozambique on the east coast and Angola on the west coast. But the country is not among the strongest European countries and has to settle with less. The scramble for Africa has begun. Portuguese East Africa is dominated by those Bantu kingdoms who had gained from the slave trade. Other groups have been more or less wiped out. A few Portuguese traders, officials and military are still in some of the coastal cities, but without much power and almost without contact to Portugal. Britain and Portugal finalise the Lourenco Marques Treaty. Britain was to underwrite the building of the railway. After many problems Portugal forms the Caminho de Ferro de Lourenco Marques (CFLM) and South Africa establishers Netherlands Railway Company (NZASM) the railway was infact completed to the Transvaal border in March 1890. A railway is being build to connect Transvaal with the city Loureno Marques. (The line from Lourenco Marques to Johannesburg was officially opened 01st January 1895).Gold has been found on the Witwatersrand. Portugal and Britain sign a treaty which lays out the current borders of Mozambique.The Gaza empire in the south gained from the slave trade, The empire had considerable political power resist all kinds of Portuguese influence. The resistance is carried out with both acts of violence, trade and diplomacy. Other kingdoms are also fighting the colonisers, but the different tribes and people never manage to put away their internal disputes and join forces. In 1895 Gungunhanas, the last emperor of the Gaza empire is captured by the Portuguese and deported to the Azores. Portugal moves the colonial capital of Mozambique from Ilha de Moambique (Mozambique Island) to Loureno Marques. Most political and economic activities in Mozambique are also transferred to the south. After the fall of the Gaza Empire Portugal finally has military and political control of all Portuguese East Africa. For the first time all kingdoms and territories of Mozambique are under the same rule due mainly to Salazars barring Prazos and Companys concessions.
1884-85
A fascist coup takes over in Portugal. Antnio Oliveira Salazar comes to power, and this means an even tighter grip on the Mozambican population and more widely use of forced labour.The new Portuguese government has close ties with the neighboring countries such as Rhodesia and South Africa. Roads and railways are built to give the neighbors access to the big ports in Mozambique. Portugal takes over a more direct control of the colony, and decides to cancel all agreements with foreign trading companies. Schools are still only for the Portuguese population. It is forbidden by law for Africans to start any kind of business and the majority is forced to work hard and dangerous labor on farms, mines and in cotton production. The Catholic Church expresses a commitment to educate the Africans. But only on their own conditions which includes obligatory Christianity and support to the fascist regime. Mozambicans can only avoid being used as forced labour by becoming assimilados meaning that they willingly give up their own culture and indigenous beliefs. These assimilados in principle are allowed to get basic education.

Communism was gaining strength as was strong anti-colonial ideologies across Africa, many secret political movements were established in support of Mozambican independence. These movements claimed that since policies and development plans were primarily designed by the ruling authorities for the benefit of Mozambiques Portuguese population, little attention was paid to Mozambiques tribal integration and the development of its native communities who had suffered discrimination and years of oppression with little opportunity or resources given to the local population to upgrade their skills or improve their economic and social situation.
1950s
history
The Front for the Liberation of Mozambique (FRELIMO), initiated a guerrilla campaign against Portuguese rule in September 1964. This conflict, along with the two others already initiated in the other Portuguese colonies of Angola and Portuguese Guinea, became part of the so-called Portuguese Colonial War (19611974). From a military standpoint, the Portuguese regular army maintained control of the population centres while the guerrilla forces sought to undermine their influence in rural and tribal areas in the north and west. As part of their response to FRELIMO the Portuguese government began to realise that they had to create better conditions for social development and economic growth. After 10 years of sporadic warfare and Portugals return to democracy through a leftist military coup in Lisbon which replaced Portugals Estado Novo regime for a military junta (the Carnation Revolution of April 1974), FRELIMO took control of the territory. Within a year, most of the 250,000 Portuguese in Mozambique had left.
1960s
Machels successor, Joaquim Chissano, continued the reforms and began peace talks with RENAMO. The new constitution enacted in 1990 provided for a multiparty political system, market-based economy, and free elections. The civil war ended in October 1992 with the Rome General Peace Accords, first brokered by the CCM, the Christian Council of Mozambique (Council of Protestant Churches) and then taken over by Community of SantEgidio. Under supervision of the ONUMOZ peacekeeping force of the United Nations, peace returned to Mozambique. (NOTE: HAVE TO GET PERMISSION FROM THE FAMILY TO PUBLISH) To end this section below is a letter written by Dr Eduardo Mondlane that will give you a deeper insight into Mozambique Working with a team of investigators, the widow of Eduardo Mondlane, Janet Mondlane, has writen a series of volumes the echo of your voice. These constitute a biography, letters written by Eduardo Mondlane and letters about Eduardo Mondlane related to his life as a political leader. Along with the recognition that politicians who reach the dimension of heroes are special people, Janet Mondlane wishes to equally demonstrate the human side of the man she admired, shared a family with and got to know best Eduardo Mondlane. In 1963, Eduardo Mondlane moved his wife and three children from the USA to Tanzania (then Tanganyika).Although Janets parents were violently opposed to her marriage to Eduardo Mondlane, with time Winifred and Raymond Johnson ( Janets parents) came to develop a deep respect for their daughters husband and adored their grandchildren. Eduardo Mondlane maintained a great deal of correspondence with Janets conservative family. During the period in which this particular letter was written (1965) there was a morbid fear in American politics of communist threat. Some of Janets friends would write to Eduardo Mondlane stating people in this country are so scared of communism that they would do anything in the name of anticommunismcommunism denies people their rights, it bombs entire nations , and so on the Government is doing a great job fooling people Janets Elder sister, Deloris Whitaker, was one of the victims of articles written by certain journalists (and friend) Neviaser, who consistently would label nationalist movement as communism and subversive in his articles. Deloris wrote to her brother in law putting across her concerns and questions. These were duly answered hence this letter. Dear Whitakers and Johnsons July 18th, 1965 It is amazing how time rushes on imperceptibly! Practically every week that passes I tell myself that I must write to the United States tribesmen in Hoosierland and Wisconsians but never seem to get around doing anything. Anyway here I am finally. Delo, in your last letter you mentioned that the people in the US think that Tanzania and our movement (Frelimo) area chock full of commies and especially the Chinese type, that some of your friends have sent you newspaper cuttings with question marks concerning our programmes here in Dar es salaam, etc. Just the other good friend of mine, Dr. Ruth Schachter Morgenthau (wife of Henry Morgenthae). Sent us an urgent letter inquiring about my physical health, because she had heard that I had been badly beaten up by an opposition group (and according to other victims of rumourongerings in the US but equally concerned about us I had been beaten up by Kenyan whites or Ghanean political) Honestly, when will the American people grow up politically? Everything in the United States seems to be simplified to the point where I am afraid that if you are not careful, youll turn into robots of the opinion makers from Madison Avenue. I am honestly concerned about the present trends in American hysteria about communism and Communists. What is the meaning of such an exaggerated fear of communism? Might it mean that under
Independence:
Mozambique became independent from Portugal on June 25, 1975. The new government, under president Samora Machel, gave shelter and support to South African (African National Congress) and Zimbabwean (Zimbabwe African National Union) liberation movements while the governments of first Rhodesia and later South Africa (at that time still operating the Apartheid laws) fostered and financed an armed rebel movement in central Mozambique called the Mozambican National Resistance (RENAMO). Starting shortly after the independence, the country was plagued from 1977 to 1992 by a long and violent civil war between the opposition forces of anti-Communist RENAMO rebel militias and the Marxist FRELIMO regime - the Mozambican Civil War. Economic collapse marked the fist years of Independence with over 1 million deaths with a further 1,7 million seeking refuge in neighboring states, and several million more were internally displaced. On October 19, 1986 Samora Machel was on his way back from an international meeting in Zambia in the presidential Tupolev Tu-134 aircraft when the plane crashed in the Lebombo Mountains, near Mbuzini. There were ten survivors but President Machel and thirty-three others died, including ministers and officials of the Mozambique government. The United Nations Soviet Union delegation issued a minority report contending that their expertise and experience had been undermined by the South Africans. Representatives of the Soviet Union advanced the theory that the plane had been intentionally diverted by a false navigational beacon signal, using a technology provided by military intelligence operatives of the South African government.
history
the apparent gloss of prosperity and happiness there is underlying fear of insecurity and uncertainty about it all? When I was in the US I used to believe that of communism rampant then was confined to matters internal and that people could understand why other people elsewhere in the world might choose other systems of economics, such as the various forms of capitalism, socialism and even outright communism (if one can safely speak on such a thing, now that Russia and China are on each others throats on the exact definition of that term!) without thereby rousing excited opposition from the American people .However, lately, this traditional American fear of communism subversion of the American economy has become so much an obsession that witch-hunting is being extended to foreign countries. That is to say Americans are no longer satisfied in making certain that communists shall no longer undermine and take over the US economy, but they will go on trying to find out how other peoples abroad should be protected from communism. This probably explains why the US government is galvanating all over the world protecting the Vietnamese, the Santo Dominicans, the Congolese, etc from communists take over even when things look pretty clear that internal squabbles between local political forces. The same political psychology explains why so many American newspapers are prone to labelling every nationalists forces against colonialism and imperialism today as communist. Honestly, quo Vades America! The Americans are forgetting that just 200 years ago they themselves fought hard against the same forces which we are now struggling to destroy? In fact, in the specific case of Mozambique, the enemy is, in every respect the same as the one America fought with in the 18th century. We are fighting against blatantly economic, social and political domination. Portugal today is behaving the same way in which Britain behaved in the 17 hundreds. The same British, Portuguese, French and other European and imperialistic tendencies which prompted people like George Washington to devote their lives to destroy us are still at large today! (Washington fought the French before he had to concentrate on the English!) The fact that your present Government has chosen to ally itself with them should not the average American from the true situation. Is the American spirit of freedom for the oppressed people of the world actually being strangled by too much affluence and fast living? I am reluctant to believe this, for I know too many minded Americans. In your letter you wished that we could give you some concrete information which might help you to counter some of this hysteria at least o help calm some of your friends and ours concerning the role we play in the whole situation. I have been thinking about this for the last few nights) thats when we can think more clearly) since we received your letter Delo. What can we send you which can be understood by people whose minds are imbued with exaggerated fears of communism? Seriously, Delo, what can you say to Neviaser that might help him except the fact that our struggle against Portuguese colonialism and imperialism is a genuine struggle for freedom, when practically all the words and phrases we use; yes even the slogans are exactly the same as those said by the people of Vietnam, Santo Domingo, etc,. As they cry against what they consider to be American intervention into their internal affairs? There hangs the tale. It is not what the people say but what they are fighting against that should be the guiding principle for judging any group. But when your newspaperman hear say, as we dare say down with Portuguese imperialism! and down with American hypocrisy and imperialism! As we denounce your government support of Portugal in the present war for independence in Africa-your journalists instead of finding out what your government is doing in support of the Portuguese, they quickly label us as Communists, because those same slogans are hurled against the United States by Communists everywhere! Yet the United States Government, especially under the Johnson administration is getting more and more involved in supporting programmes by various European governments which are determine to maintain their imperialist interest in Africa, Asia and elsewhere. The USA, being the most powerful Western nation today is the main-
stay all the ambitious European powers , such as Portugal, Spain, West Germany, France, (although it disagrees with the USA on minor points) etc. This explains why we often have to attack American foreign policy, especially since the death of President Kennedy. During Kennedys government, one felt even though there was the same tendency for coordinating to the activities of western government against anybody who was against a colonial power, there was all the same a feeling that alternative were being provided to defend the right of the people for freedom. Today however, under the Johnson administration, anybody who is a NATO ally is a enemy of the USA and ipso facto is communist consequently, the USA is aligned to all conservative, reactionary and imperialist forces for the West, against all and everybody may wish to improve upon his eternal political situation especially the powers that are friendly to the USA. It is of-course none of my business to say to you that government needs to appraise its foreign policy, for I will be contradicting myself. This, because my main point is that we should be allowed to establish our own types of democracies suit our own characters, just as your democracy suits you. One thing i meant to impress you with in this letter is that you should remember your own past, thereby learn to sympathise with our own struggle to achieve the same freedom which you now have. Tell your friends and ours that. Still, it may be necessary for us to try and show some proof to you that, not only are we not communist, but genuine nationalist who are fighting for their people freedom . Because we have maintained this position clearly enough, we have been able to so impress various peoples and governments in this world and we can now boast support from every quarter in the world. In other words, we are genuine nationalist enough to deserve the unstinted support of Capitalists and communist alike. You may say in response that probably the reason why we supported by both capitalist and communists has nothing to do with our neutrality in the cold war. You would be right! But the fact that ought to interest people like Neviaser is that we are supported by both East and West in the present cold war and we wish it that way.
history
So it was that very anti-communist Ford Foundation that gave $100 000 to Janet last year (1963-1964) to establish an educational programme for Mozambique in exile, as you know. With that money Janet built an impressive (how humble of me) institution in Dar-es Saalam which is training now more than 75 young Mozambican men and women and sending more than that number abroad for higher education. Many of these students are now in the United States of America under states department scholarship. Other non-communist governments such as Sweden are willing to give thousands of dollars per year to support same programme. The world council of churches (Geneva), the national council of churches (USA), the World of Lutheran federation, the Catholic Welfare Services (New York), the High Commission for Refugees (UN Geneva) to mention only a few well known non-communist organisations, are also spending thousands of dollars per year sponsoring programmes organized by us. As i mentioned before, and as i had occasion to stress it when i was at your house last Christmas, we do seek and receive aid from countries which Americans consider to be Communist. Janets programme has been receiving more school equipment from Checoslovaquia, East Germany, Yugoslavia, etc. Unfortunately, those countries are unable to extend financial aid because of exchange restrictions. This we can understand, so we dont complain. Just a few months ago we had hoping that Checoslovaquia would send us two science teachers to teach at their institute, but lately we felt that they might not afford it. Too bad, for it might strengthen our educational programme, since so far we have mainly Americans, who are here mostly as volunteers from America colleges and university exclusively to teach refugees By the way even for those Americans we were instrumental in stimulating their interest and for one group I was partly responsible for getting the ford Foundation to give then a substantial grant to enable them to come to Tanzania and help us. Janet is now expecting two Indian teachers (from the Republic of India) who have been nominated by their own government to teach at the Mozambique institute aside
from several hundred books given by that same government. As for the Tanzanian government, i dont think i should say much after all of the above. The Tanzanian people are free people they have an independent and non-aligned government, dedicated to the idea of quickly in order to reduce poverty, diseases and ignorance in the shortest period of the time possible. It also must defend itself against the crazy colonialist and racist governments of South Africa, Rhodesia and Portugal which was frightened to death because of Tanzanias determined to aid and support the rest of nonindependent Africa. In order to accomplish this she must have weapons and train people in their use quite quickly! Since Tanzania cannot as yet manufacture modern weapons, she has to find a friendly country that is capable and willing to give her the weapons and the training she need. Soon after independence Dr. Nyerere, the president of this republic, first asked the British to give Tanzania the weapons she needed, but they refused. Dr. Nyerere then turned to American government. It also refused after a great deal of circumlocution and equivocation (perhaps for fear of offending their all Portugal) Tanzania turned to the West Germans. These accepted only to train the Tanzanian air-force but with strings, for early this year this programme was suddenly cancelled and the officers doing the training withdrawn dramatically when Tanzania decided to allow West Germany to establish consulate in Dar se Salaam. (We Mozambicans can only say good riddance, since the same West Germany was and still training Portuguese air-force officers in Lisbon presumably to fight against those of us who are pushing for freedom). When Tanzania asked the Canadians for help, they accepted to save as instructors for both the army and the air-force, but could not afford to donate a loan weapons. The Tanzanians accepted to engage in training expertise of the Canadians, but since the still needed weapons they had to find a friendly country which will be willing to give them some. Finally they turned to Soviet Union and Communist China, both of which were glad to give. Tanzania accepted their weapons under the same terms that she would have accepted help from Western Capitalist countries.
staff in Dar se salaam. Did you know that while there are Canadians and British military experts training the Tanzanian army and the air-force exceeding easily 100 they may not more than a maximum of 2 Chinese experts in the same category. What are the Americans afraid of? If the above statistics are correct are correct, which I am certain they are, does this make Tanzania lackeys of the Americans and Europeans? Of course, you will say No! Then why should be the presence of a hundred Chinese make such a difference? I will try to send some newspaper cuttings from time to time to give you some idea of wants going on here. I believe that those of you who have relatives near the situation ought to know better, at least for your own mental nourishment. The people of Africa want to be respected for what they are, if they feel that they need certain kind of service from given people or nation they want to be free to seek and acquire that service without Big Brother or Uncle Sam telling them not to. I am sure you understand that, since i am certain that Americans are a free people who are jealousy of their freedom. I think i have given you some pointed answers to your questions. Id be very happy if you could from time to time also ask me pointed questions as you did in your last letter. Kisses to my young nieces for me and i wish most pleasant summer...................... Love Eduardo Mondlane
This, I am sure is what makes so many western newspapermen cry Communism against Tanzania. The same applies to the fact that we the Mozambican people also have decided to take the advantage of this favourable situation and asked for weapons from the same countries, were given and gladly accepted and are now using them against Portuguese colonialist. What would you do if you were in the same situation? Here we are, facing a formic able Portuguese modern army, equipped with the most modern American and European weapons threatening to keep our people under people under a ruthless slavery in the second half of the twentieth century. Should we refuse to take Communist weapons simply because they were manufactured in Peking or Moscow? We would not be nationalist that we are. We deserve to be the leaders of our people. It would be irresponsible of us during the Second World War, the United States and her allies found a formula to accept cooperation with Stalinist Russia in fighting what they then felt was a worse enemy; Nazi Germany. Whatever is the matter with Communism and Communists today is not as bad as Portuguese colonialism, at least it does not prevent us to accept the support that it can give us against our most dreaded enemy ; Colonialism. I am sure you can understand this. Back to Tanzania, you know i am sure that in spite of the entire hullabaloo about this country being Communist controlled, yet most foreign advisors are still Western Europe, American and Canadian. Did you know if know, for instance that the large single white foreign population in Tanzania is American? Your fellow citizens lead the whole of the foreign white contingent of more than 20,000, with more than 2,500 strong! They are in educational, technical, administrative, economics, religious etc. Programmes such as Peace Corps, teachers, administrative consultants, missionaries, university professors and simple sightseers, yet i doubt that there are more than 200 Chinese including members of their embassy

Mozambicans generally serve dinner late and are notorious for arriving late! If you are organizing a party expect your guest to arrive late and will confirm a day prior or on the day, this is not a sign of disrespect but a common occurrence. When Mozambicans are invited to someones house they bring along a small present be it a food dish, chocolates, a bottle of wine or flowers.
Banks, Credit Cards and Foreign Exchange

CASH AND OTHER PAYMENT FACILITIES Visitors to Mozambique should be aware that it is difficult to obtain large amounts of cash in Maputo with a credit, debit or cash card. There are various ATMs from various banks that allow for removal of local currency only. Cashing a travelers cheque is expensive and facilities are not available everywhere in the Country. It is not possible to obtain fuel from filling stations with any card at all. It should also be noted that foreign currency is not freely available, as it is imported as required and as per law all negotiations/payments should be done in the local currency. Most hotels and restaurants will accept credit cards, and US Dollars or Rands. Expect to have the exchange rate determined by the supplier or vendor! BANKING FACILITIES There are a number of commercial banks in Mozambique, with their head offices in Maputo, which provide bank account service to individuals and companies. The opening and maintaining of bank accounts by residents are subject to Mozambique Exchange Control Regulations requirements and restrictions are applicable which should be discussed with the bank before the opening of a bank account.
Business Transaction
In shopping, there are two types of shops; one where prices are written on the products such as in established shops and supermarkets hotels and so on and ones which do not have prices on them and can be negotiated such as the corner art markets, fresh fruit and vegetable markets and with the fisherman. Negotiation or bargaining, happens when two or more parties communicate in order to reach an agreement on a mutually acceptable outcome in a situation. This should be made clear that insulting or becoming aggressive is not a negotiation. Try using simple language if you do not speak Portuguese. Ask questions and observe behaviour. Most of all be patient as you are a visitor to this land. Mozambicans will generally increase the price as much as they think the person can afford to pay. Bargaining and haggling down the price can be a fun experience if your expectations are not unreasonable. If buying more expensive items, it is best to have a Mozambican colleague present to negotiate the price. Taxi fares can also be haggled; however it is best to always determine the price with taxi driver in advanced.
EXCHANGE CONTROL Several Exchange Control Regulations apply to residents, non-residents and companies in Mozambique.
Tips for negotiating with Mozambicans
One must be aware of the need to maintain patience in Mozambique The most important factor is to always to show respect , build trust and Also important is to be able to show goodwill.

HIV/AIDS
WHAT IS IT? HOW DO YOU GET IT? FREQUENTLY ASKED EASY Q&AS AIDS - Acquired immune deficiency syndrome or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), a term referring to the two stages of the worlds most serious immune system disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This condition progressively reduces the effectiveness of the immune system and leaves individuals susceptible to opportunistic infections and tumors. HIV is transmitted through direct contact of a mucous membrane or the bloodstream with a bodily fluid containing HIV, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluid, preseminal fluid, and breast milk AIDS is now a pandemic. In 2007, it was estimated that 33.2 million people lived with the disease worldwide, and that AIDS killed an estimated 2.1 million people, including 330,000 children. can slow the course of the disease, there is currently no vaccine or cure. Antiretroviral treatment reduces both the mortality and the morbidity of HIV infection, but these drugs are expensive and routine access to antiretroviral medication is not available in all countries. Due to the difficulty in treating HIV infection, preventing infection is a key aim in controlling the AIDS pandemic, with health organizations promoting safe sex and needle-exchange programmes in attempts to slow the spread of the virus What is AIDS? It is the collapse of the immune systems HIV that causes AIDS. How is the virus transmitted? In order for the virus to attach to a persons immune system, it has to enter the blood stream. These are various ways in which it is transmitted such as Sexual intercourse - Injecting drugs - Pre-natal transmission - Blood transfusion - Organ transplant recipient - Household contacts eg, blood contact and body secretion How does HIV/AIDS differ from most other epidemics and diseases? It is a new epidemic. AIDS was first recognised in 1981 but it was in 1984 that the cause was identified, It has a long incubation period. It could take up to 20 years. The prognosis for people infected with AIDS is bleak. The disease is found mainly in two specific age groups. Children under 5 and adults between the ages of 20 to 40, The scale of the epidemic is different from most other diseases. HIV is mainly sexually transmitted. It is passed on through one of the most fundamental human activities, There are links between HIV and other diseases, most notably, tuberculosis. What are the typical symptoms of HIV?AIDS?
* Fever, Adenopathy, Pharyngitis, rashes, Myalgia or Arthalgia * Diarrhoea, headaches, nausea and vomiting * Hepato-splenomegaly, thrush, neurological features Who is at risk to contract HIV/AIDS? Generally there are five main areas of concern: Building and transport maintenance infrastructure workers People who operate transport service truck drivers, train crew and sailors who are a long way from home and families. Management personnel evidence suggests that In Africa the levels of HIV among managers and professionals are as high as or higher than in the general population. Travelers mobility is associated with a greater opportunity for sexual encounter. Which body fluids are considered at risk? Blood, Semen, Cerebrospinal, Synodical fluid, Peritoneal fluid, Pleural fluid, Pericardial fluid, Amniotic fluid Which body fluids are not considered to be at risk? Urine, Stool, Sputum, Saliva, Tears, Vomit, Nasal secretions Can I get HIV through casual contact? No you cannot get HIV through casual contact such as: * Sharing food, utensils or plates or touching or shaking hands * Touching someone who is infected or Donating blood
* Using public rest rooms or Being bitten by mosquitoes or any other insect What is the best approach to prevent HIV/ AIDS? Right now, the best approach in preventing AIDS lies in behavior modification, repeated educational messages about AIDS, intelligent programme of sex education in schools. Risk of sexual transmission can be reduced by use of a condom, cutting down on the number of sexual partners and treating other sexually transmitted infections. For now, condoms are the most effective. There are anti-HIV drugs available for infected people, As yet, no cure or vaccine exists. How can I protect my family and myself? The safest way to avoid being infected by the AIDS virus is to avoid promiscuous sex and illegal drugs. Couples who are not infected, do not use drugs and have a mutually faithful single partner sexual relationship, are protected from AIDS. You can get AIDS from one sexual experience. You risk of becoming infected increases dramatically if you have more than one sexual partner. If you or your partner has more than one sexual partner, you can reduce your risk by using condoms. In the end, the sad reality is that a significant number of people are already infected. Prevention must remain a priority.
MALARIA
Malaria is a vector-borne infectious disease caused by a eukaryotic protist of the genus Plasmodium. It is widespread in tropical and subtropical regions, including parts of the Americas, Asia, and Africa. Each year, there are approximately 350500 million cases of malaria, killing between one and three million people, the majority of whom are young children in Sub-Saharan Africa. Ninety percent of malaria-related deaths occur in Sub-Saharan Africa. Usually, people get malaria by being bitten by an infective female Anopheles mosquito. Only Anopheles mosquitoes can transmit malaria, and they must have been infected through a previous blood meal taken on an infected person. When a mosquito bites an infected person, a small amount of blood is taken, which contains microscopic malaria parasites. About one week later, when the mosquito takes its next blood meal, these parasites mix with the mosquitos saliva and are injected into the person being bitten. The parasites
Over three-quarters of these deaths occurred in sub-Saharan Africa, retarding economic growth and destroying human capital. Genetic research indicates that HIV originated in west-central Africa during the late nineteenth or early twentieth century. [9][10] AIDS was first recognized by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 1981 and its cause, HIV, identified in the early 1980s. Although treatments for AIDS and HIV
multiply within red blood cells, causing symptoms that include symptoms of anemia (light-headedness, shortness of breath, tachycardia, etc.), as well as other general symptoms such as fever, chills, nausea, flu-like illness, and, in severe cases, coma, and death. Malaria transmission can be reduced by preventing mosquito bites with mosquito nets and insect repellents, or by mosquito control measures such as spraying insecticides inside houses and draining standing water where mosquitoes lay their eggs.
ber the risks of Malaria are reduced. If you are visiting a malaria area on a temporary basis, it is advisable to take one of the following prophylactic drugs: Doxycycline, Mefloquine (Iariam) and Chloroquine and Paludrin combination. Remember that the parasite most commonly found in Mozambique is mostly chloroquine resistant, but you will still have a good, if not full, protection against severe cerebral malaria. If you are sensitive to these medications, it is advisable to take them in the mornings with breakfast. Taking this medication at night could cause restless nights and vivid dreams. Keeping in mind that it is still possible to contract malaria and you should have a blood test done as soon as you recognise any of the symptoms. People who live in a malaria area for longer than 2 to 3 years, and suffer from side effects of the prophylactics, should consider how high the risk factor is and if the personal protection method by itself would be effective enough without prophylactics). In that case it is necessary to have a blood test done as soon as you feel feverish, to ensure that malaria treatment is started straight away if necessary. The faster the treatment is started after contracting malaria, the quicker the recovery will be. HOW DO YOU GET MALARIA? Humans get malaria from the bite of a malaria-infected mosquito. When a mosquito bites an infected person, it ingests microscopic malaria parasites found in the persons blood. The mosquito then bites another person, the parasites go from the mosquitos mouth into the persons blood. The parasites then travel to the persons liver, enter the livers cells, grow and multiply. During this time when the parasites are in the liver, the person has not yet felt sick. The parasites leave the liver and enter red blood cells; this may take as little as 8 days or as many as several months. Once inside the red blood cells, the parasites grow and multiply. The red blood cells burst, freeing the parasites to attack other red blood cells. Tox-
ins from the parasite are also released into the blood, making the person feel sick. If a mosquito bites this person while the parasites are in his or her blood, it will ingest the tiny parasites. WHAT ARE THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF MALARIA? Symptoms of malaria include fever and flu-like illness, including shaking chills, headache, muscle aches, and tiredness. Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may also occur. Malaria may cause anemia and jaundice (yellow coloring of the skin and eyes) because of the loss of red blood cells. Infection with one type of malaria, P. falciparum, if not promptly treated, may cause kidney failure, seizures, mental confusion, coma, and death. HOW SOON WILL A PERSON FEEL SICK AFTER BEING BITTEN BY AN INFECTED MOSQUITO? For most people, symptoms begin 10 days to 4 weeks after infection, although a person may feel ill as early as 8 days or up to 1 year later. Two kinds of malaria, P. vivax and P. ovale, can relapse; some parasites can rest in the liver for several months up to 4 years after a person is bitten by an infected mosquito. When these parasites come out of hibernation and begin invading red blood cells, the person will become sick. HOW IS MALARIA DIAGNOSED? Malaria is diagnosed by looking for the parasites in a drop of blood. Blood will be put onto a microscope slide and stained so that the parasites will be visible under a microscope. Any traveler who becomes ill with a fever
or flu-like illness while traveling and up to 1 year after returning home should immediately seek professional medical care. You should tell your health care provider that you have been traveling in a malaria-risk area. WHO IS AT RISK FOR MALARIA? Persons living in and travellers to, any area of the world where malaria is transmitted may become infected. WHAT IS THE TREATMENT FOR MALARIA? Malaria can be cured with prescription drugs. The type of drugs and length of treatment depend on which kind of malaria is diagnosed, where the patient was infected, the age of the patient, and how severely ill the patient was at start of treatment. HOW CAN MALARIA AND OTHER TRAVELRELATED ILLNESSES BE PREVENTED? Visit your health care provider 4-6 weeks before foreign travel for any necessary vaccinations and a prescription for an anti malarial drug. Take your anti-malarial drug exactly on schedule without missing doses Prevent mosquito and other insect bites. Use insect repellent on exposed skin and flying insect spray in the room where you sleep Wear long pants and long-sleeved shirts, especially from dusk to dawn. This is the time when mosquitoes that spread malaria bite Sleep under a mosquito bed net if you are not living in screened or air-conditioned housing.
Anti-malaria Tablets (Prophylaxis)
Work has been done on malaria vaccines with limited success and more exotic controls, such as genetic manipulation of mosquitoes to make them resistant to the parasite have also been considered. Although some are under development, no vaccine is currently available for malaria that provides a high level of protection; preventive drugs must be taken continuously to reduce the risk of infection. These prophylactic drug treatments are often too expensive for most people living in endemic areas.
Most adults from endemic areas have a degree of long-term infection, which tends to recur, and also possess partial immunity (resistance); the resistance reduces with time, and such adults may become susceptible to severe malaria if they have spent a significant amount of time in non-endemic areas. They are strongly recommended to take full precautions if they return to an endemic area. Malaria infections are treated through the use of antimalarial drugs, such as quinine or artemisinin derivatives. However, parasites have evolved to be resistant to many of these drugs. Therefore, in some areas of the world, only a few drugs remain as effective treatments for malaria. Malaria is encountered throughout Mozambique, in South Africa (mainly in Mpumalanga and Kwa-Zulu Natal) Swaziland, Zimbabwe, most of Botswana and the north of Namibia. The transmission is higher during the warmer and wetter months from November through to April. May to Octo-
CHOLERA
Mainly diseases of the under-privileged, denied clean water and proper sewerage, residents of squatter camps, or people living in rural areas. Cholera outbreaks are regularly reported from Mozambique. The most recent began in Maputo in October 2008 and had spread to all but two provinces by February 2009, causing more than 4000 cases and 52 deaths. The highest fatality rates were recorded in the northern and central provinces of Nampula, Cabo Del Gado, Manica, and Tete. Previous outbreaks were reported in October 2008 from the town of Cuamba, in the northern province of Niassa, and in March 2008 from Nampula. The main symptoms of cholera are profuse watery diarrhea and vomiting, which in severe cases may lead to dehydration and death. Most outbreaks are related to contaminated drinking water, typically in situations of poverty, overcrowding, and poor sanitation. Most travelers are at extremely
low risk for infection. All travelers should bring along an antibiotic and an anti diarrheal drug to be started promptly if significant diarrhea occurs, defined as three or more loose stools in an 8-hour period or five or more loose stools in a 24-hour period, especially if accompanied by nausea, vomiting, cramps, fever or blood in the stool. Antibiotics which have been shown to be effective include ciprofloxacin (Cipro),
levofloxacin (Levaquin), rifaximin (Xifaxan), or azithromycin (Zithromax). Either loperamide (Imodium) or diphenoxylate (Lomotil) should be taken in addition to the antibiotic to reduce diarrhea and prevent dehydration. If diarrhea is severe or bloody, or if fever occurs with shaking chills, or if abdominal pain becomes marked, or if diarrhea persists for more than 72 hours, medical attention should be sought.
