Liberation movements have been fighting Government forces in the Portuguese dominated territories in African for a decade and more. In the words of the Angolan Leader, Agostinho Neto, they are working "to free and modernize our peoples by a dual revolution-against their traditional structure which can no longer serve them and against colonial rule". The United Nations has recognized the liberation movements as "the authentic representatives" of their peoples. The struggle in Mozambique is spearheaded by Frelimo (Frente de Liberacao de Mocambique) the Mozambique Liberation Front which claims control over more than a quarter of the country.

Headline The End of Portuguese Rule in Angola 
Caption Description In 1974, a dramatic change of regime in Portugal led to the end of more than a decade of fighting for independence in Portugal's African Territories, and with the fighting, came the end of more than 500 years of Portuguese colonial domination in Africa. The strength of the fighting forces of the liberation movements in the African territories was a major factor in the downfall of the Lisbon regime. Angola acceded to independence on 11 November 1975.
