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.

MACRON AND IMF
Kenya’s President Ruto didn’t hold back at a recent global summit on debt relief and climate change.

Watch him get in the faces of those who currently hold the levers of power.
The question is, are they listening?

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY MADAGASCAR 🇲🇬
On 26th June 1960, the island nation Madagascar broke the chains of French colonialism, joining the list of other newly independent African countries.
The French first landed in Madagascar in 1883 in an attempt to colonize it; their efforts were, however, met with fierce resistance by the Malagasy people and triggered what became known as the Franco-Hova War.
The war would drag on until 1896, when the French colonial army finally prevailed over the Malagasy people, and the island was officially brought under the control of Paris.
Discontent with French rule, however, continued to simmer and several rebellions against colonial authorities occurred in the subsequent decades.
The British assumed temporal control of the island after France fell to the NAZIS in 1940; it was later handed back to the French after the end of the second world war.
