A Brief History of Samora Machel: Mozambique's First President | African Biographics

Considered a charismatic, and thoughtful leader, Samora Machel was a military commander and the revered first post-colonial president of Mozambique upon independence in 1975. Machel was faced with the unenviable task of building his country during a civil war. This war was between Machel’s Frelimo and the Rhodesian and Apartheid Regime sponsored Renamo. In this episode of African Biographics we look at the life and legacy of Samora Machel and a brief explanation of the Mozambican Civil War. ************************************************************************** Sources: https://www.britannica.com/biography/Samora-Machel https://www.sahistory.org.za/people/samora-machel https://www.sahistory.org.za/article/death-samora-machel https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samora_Machel https://www.blackpast.org/global-african-history/machel-samora-moises-1933-1986/ https://www.enca.com/africa/remembering-machel-flawed-feared-and-revered-african-leader https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-21655680 https://www.blackpast.org/global-african-history/the-mozambican-civil-war-1977-1992/ https://www.britannica.com/topic/Renamo https://www.encyclopedia.com/people/history/african-history-biographies/samora-moises-machel ************************************************************************** Music: Kumasi Groove by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100183 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ Bumba Crossing by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1500031 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ At The Shore - The Dark Contenent by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100770 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ Accralate - The Dark Contenent by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100341 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ ************************************************************************** Logo Design: Junior Shava: https://www.jrshava.com/ ********************************************************************* Feel free to reach out to us at [email protected]
