mozambique

Mozambique is a developing nation in southern Africa. The Portuguese colonized the area from the 1700s until the Mozambiquans ousted them in 1975. Threatened by an independent black nation, white-ruled South Africa and Rhodesia destabilized the country, which splintered into civil war in 1977. 15 years and one million casualties later, a peace treaty ended the conflict. Since then, Mozambique has made considerable economic strides, but floods, droughts, malaria, poverty and landmines leftover from the war still beleager the country.
