MOZAMBIQUE’S
INDEPENDENCE
STRUGGLE
Today Mozambique celebrates its independence from Portugal.
On June 25th, 1975, nearly four centuries of colonial rule came to an end.
But its freedom only arrived after a bitter armed struggle.
It was spearheaded by Eduardo Mondlane who led the Marxist Frente de Libertação de Moçambique or FRELIMO.
He was assassinated in 1969 and replaced by charismatic guerrilla commander, Samora Machel, who became the country’s first post-colonial president.
However, his time in power was far from easy.
He fought rebels from Resistência Nacional Moçambicana (RENAMO) who were backed by Malawi and racist regimes in Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) and South Africa.
