The purpose of the Mozambique
History Net (MHN) website is to make available selected newspaper
clippings and some other resources dealing with contemporary Mozambican history
and presented in a thematically organised form. A high proportion of this
material is in Portuguese. «Contemporary Mozambican history» is arbitrarily
defined as the period from the beginning of a Luta de Libertação Nacional [the
National Liberation Struggle, as the Mozambicans call it] or a Guerra
Colonial [the Colonial War, as the Portuguese prefer] in Mozambique in the
early 1960s to the advent of political pluralism in 1994. This obviously
includes the conflict between the Mozambican government and Renamo from the
late 1970s until October 1992, as well as the entire period of the presidency
of the late Samora Machel.The materials are organised by
subject, each with its own page on this website, where each document is briefly
referenced, with a link to a viewable or down-loadable PDF or JPEG file. Click
