The African nation of Mozambique honors today the beginning of the armed struggle against Portuguese colonizers. Unfortunately, after a long period of violence, guerrilla warfare, and sometimes more conventional battles, when Mozambique won its independence in 1975, almost immediately the nation plunged into an even longer civil war.
Thank goodness things have been more stable since 1994. There were incidents - scuffles of insurgency - perpetrated by the group RENAMO in some regions, but recently a peace agreement seems to have been reached for good.
Something to celebrate, for sure!
