Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With $150 and the belief that all children should be given the skills to keep themselves and their loved ones alive, Amy Gillespie set out for Mozambique to meet the Goliath who had whispered to her in the night, "Come find me." She could not have imagined all that she would witness and experience on her journey... beauty, inspiration, humor; as well as corruption, unimaginable suffering, and shadowy threats from unlikely sources. Six Years in Mozambique explores one woman's experience of the gritty reality of aid work, sexuality, and spirituality in Sub-Saharan Africa. It takes a raw look at what it's like to be a single woman, on the edge of forty years of age, setting off to chase down Goliath, fully certain of success; and how that incredible journey led her to universal truths and surrender. With its sweeping honesty, "Six Years in Mozambique" is the portrayal of an every day life turned extraordinary when a purposeful heart overcomes. This is the story of change -- the change that happens to you and because of you. Feeling a pulse on every page, it is the heartbeat of determination that tells the story of where real life meets the world according to Africa.

Download or read book A Short History of Mozambique written by Malyn Newitt and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive overview traces the evolution of modern Mozambique, from its early modern origins in the Indian Ocean trading system and the Portuguese maritime empire to the fifteen-year civil war that followed independence and its continued after-effects. Though peace was achieved in 1992 through international mediation, Mozambique's remarkable recovery has shown signs of stalling. Malyn Newitt explores the historical roots of Mozambican disunity and hampered development, beginning with the divisive effects of the slave trade, the drawing of colonial frontiers in the 1890s and the lasting particularities of the north, centre and south, inherited from the compartmentalized approach of concession companies. Following the nationalist guerrillas' victory against the Portuguese in 1975, these regional divisions resurfaced in a civil war pitting the south against the north and centre, over attempts at far-reaching socioeconomic change. The settlement of the early 1990s is now under threat from a revived insurgency, and the ghosts of the past remain. This book seeks to distill this complex history, and to understand why, twenty-five years after the Peace Accord, Mozambicans still remain among the poorest people in the world.
Download or read book A Decade of Mozambique written by Joseph Hanlon and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-11-24 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This chronology for 2004 to 2013 compiles the chapters on Mozambique previously published in the Africa Yearbook. Politics, Economy and Society South of the Sahara. The country has over the years remained one of the poorest, and poverty is not declining. But the discovery of huge gas fields could bring changes by the mid 2020s. During the period under review, the sheen began to fade from Mozambique's status as a donor darling, as donors increasingly objected to corruption while government was angered by donor impositions and took an increasingly autonomous line. The former liberation movement Frelimo remains the predominant party and has won all national elections, while two presidents have stepped down after two terms. The main opposition party Renamo retains an armed wing launching small military actions. A second opposition party gained control of four cities. A younger and better-educated generation that remembers neither the liberation struggle nor the 1982-92 civil war is beginning to challenge the established leadership.

Download or read book Introduction to Mozambique written by Gilad James, PhD and published by Gilad James Mystery School. This book was released on with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mozambique is a country located in the southeastern part of Africa, and it is bordered by the Indian Ocean to the east, Tanzania to the north, Malawi, Zambia, and Zimbabwe to the west, and South Africa and Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) to the south. The country has a population of approximately 30 million, and its economy is largely dominated by agriculture, industrial production, and mining. Mozambique gained independence from Portugal in 1975, and since then, the country has undergone a series of challenges, including armed conflicts, natural disasters, poverty, and lack of development. However, Mozambique has made significant progress over the past few years, and it is currently considered one of the fastest-growing economies in Africa. Mozambique's official language is Portuguese, which is spoken by a significant proportion of the population. However, there are also several local languages spoken throughout the country, including Swahili, Makhuwa, Sena, and Tswa. Mozambique is known for its rich culture, which is influenced by its history, religion, and traditions. The country is also home to several national parks, including the Bazaruto Archipelago, Gorongosa National Park, and Niassa Reserve, which attract tourists from all over the world. Despite its recent progress, Mozambique still faces several challenges related to poverty, inequality, and infrastructure development. However, the government and its international partners are working together to address these issues and promote sustainable economic growth and social development in the country.

Download or read book Mozambique written by Hilary Andersson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mozambique: A War against the People examines the nature of the war that has been waged by the Renamo rebels in Mozambique since 1976, and the profound effects that it has had on, in particular, the country's human infrastructure. The toll of the war has been manifested most dramatically in the geographical dislocation of a large section of the population. Along with the Frelimo government's policy failures this has served to limit socialist development in the past. It now threatens potential for development along the capitalist and democratic road.
Download or read book The Origins of War in Mozambique written by Funada-Classen Sayaka and published by African Minds. This book was released on 2012-04 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book focuses on an area called Maúa, not because I believe Maúa represents the whole of Mozambique as such, but because highlighting a specific area and people helps to understand the Mozambican history more deeply and comprehensively. In any case, it would be impossible to study the experience of all Mozambicans. I am not attempting to write a history textbook of Mozambique, or a glorious history of the liberation struggle, but rather trying to fill a gap in the descriptions of contemporary Mozambican history by delving into matters that have not been written about before.

It discusses the Islamic State's presence in the region, the trajectory and issues pertaining to sexual and gender-based violence and the relationship between the conflict and the environment.

Download or read book Conspicuous Destruction written by Human Rights Watch (Organization) and published by Human Rights Watch. This book was released on 1992 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addressing two sets of concerns, this report covers both the abuses relating to the seventeen years of war between the Mozambique Armed Forces and the rebel Mozambique National Resistance, as well as the reforms instigated by the ruling Mozambique Liberation Front under President Joachim Chissano. Africa Watch evaluates the progress made by the Liberation Front government toward a democratic system of government that respects civil and political rights. The 1990 Constitution and related legislation are the centerpiece of this transition, and represent the most wholehearted attempt to build an institutional and legal framework to guarantee respect for human rights so far attempted in the history of Mozambique. Major concerns remain, however, relating to the ability of the government to implement the promised changes.

Download or read book Portugal s Bush War in Mozambique written by Al J. Venter and published by Casemate. This book was released on 2022-05-19 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new account of how Portugal fought a bush war in Mozambique for over a decade. Portugal fought a bush war in Mozambique — one of the most beautiful countries in the world — for over a decade. The small European nation was ranged against formidable odds and in the end was unable to muster the resources required to effectively take on the might of the Soviet Union and its collaborators—every single communist country on the planet and almost all of Black Africa. Yet, Al Venter argues, Portugal did not actually lose the war, and indeed fought in difficult terrain with a good degree of success over an extended period. It was radical domestic politics that heralded the end. Mozambique is once again embroiled in a guerrilla war, this time against a large force of Islamic militants, many from Somalia and some Arab countries, and unequivocally backed by Islamic State and the lessons of Mozambique’s bush war are still relevant today.

Download or read book Mozambique s Samora Machel written by Allen F. Isaacman and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The precipitous rise and controversial fall of a formidable African leader. Samora Machel (1933–1986), the son of small-town farmers, led his people through a war against their Portuguese colonists and became the first president of the People’s Republic of Mozambique. Machel’s military successes against a colonial regime backed by South Africa, Rhodesia, the United States, and its NATO allies enhanced his reputation as a revolutionary hero to the oppressed people of Southern Africa. In 1986, during the country’s civil war, Machel died in a plane crash under circumstances that remain uncertain. Allen and Barbara Isaacman lived through many of these changes in Mozambique and bring personal recollections together with archival research and interviews with others who knew Machel or participated in events of the revolutionary or post-revolutionary years.
Download or read book Mozambique s foreign policy towards South Africa written by Paulo Mateus Wache and published by SciELO - Editora da UFRGS. This book was released on 2022-07-20 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Book discusses the Mozambique’s foreign policy framework in general, and towards South Africa, in particular, searching to understand why it has been characterized by the hostility-friendship dichotomy. The Book argues that asymmetry alone cannot explain the occurrence of the dichotomy as suggested by Womack’s asymmetry theory. In the case of Mozambique’s foreign policy, the dichotomy is caused by combination of factors namely: power asymmetry, ideological differences, leadership perceptions, economic disagreements and economic ties. However, it is highlighted that power asymmetry is the main factor of the dichotomy. This complexity and amalgamations of causes of the dichotomy makes it a permanent and distinctive feature of Mozambique’s foreign policy towards South Africa.Thus, the major contribution of this book is twofold. First, it presents a detailed and comprehensive analysis of Mozambique’s foreign affairs as they have interacted with South Africa. Second,by applying asymmetry theory to Mozambique the study makes a significant theoretical contribution to understanding the agency of the smaller side in bilateral asymmetric relationships.
