Headline The Struggle for Self-Determination in Mozambique

Caption Description Mozambique, which is situated in Africa, lies south of Equator and faces the Indian Ocean and the Mozambique Channel. It is 783,030 square kilometers in area and at the 1970 census it had a population of 8,233,834. In 1960 the General Assembly declared Mozambique to be a non-self-governing territory under the administration of Portugal. Because Portugal refuses to grant the people of the Territory the right to self-determination and independence, FRELIMO (the Mozambique Liberation Front) has been engaged since 1964 in an armed struggle to free the Territory from Portuguese colonial rule. More than a million Mozambicans live in the areas liberated by FRELIMO, which covers more than a quarter of the country. The United Nations has recognized the legitimacy of the struggle of the peoples of the territories under Portuguese domination to achieve self-determination and independence.
