Commentary

De nombreux comptoirs arabes et indiens existaient au Mozambique avant les expéditions de Vasco de Gama en 1498 puis de Lourenço Marques en1544. Ces derniers installèrent des comptoirs et construisirent des forts. La colonisation portugaise durera cinq siècles et comme dans tous les pays de l’Afrique lusophone, après une longue guerre coloniale, le Mozambique devient indépendante après la “Révolution des Oeillets”, indépendance proclamée de 25 juin 1975.
.
Many Arab and Indian trading posts existed in Mozambique before the expeditions of Vasco da Gama in 1498 and then Lourenço Marques in 1544. The latter established trading posts and built forts. Portuguese colonization lasted five centuries and, like all Portuguese-speaking African countries, after a long colonial war, Mozambique became independent after the \\\"Carnation Revolution,\\\" independence proclaimed on June 25, 1975.
