### Mozambique wa ku Portugal (1498-1975)

Chirwa cha Mozambiki, icho charu ichi chili na zina lake, ni chirwa chichoko cha korali icho chili pa mulomo wa Mossuril Bay pa nyanja ya Nacala kumpoto kwa Mozambiki.

Apo ŵanthu ŵa ku Portugal ŵakafikanga ku Mozambique mu 1498, kukaŵa kale ŵanthu ŵa ku Arabia awo ŵakaguliskanga vinthu mumphepete mwa nyanja na pa virwa vinyake. Kwambira cha m'ma 1500, ŵamalonda ŵa ku Portugal ŵakamba kwendera mu nyanja za ku Europe.

Apo Vasco da Gama wakazingilizga Cape of Good Hope mu 1498, ŵanthu ŵa ku Portugal ŵakamba kuchita malonda, ndyali, na vinthu vinyake. Mu vyaka vya m'ma 1530 C.E., ŵanthu ŵachoko waka ŵa ku Portugal awo ŵakaguliskanga na kupenja golide ŵakaluta mu vyaru vya mukati, ndipo ŵakazenga misasa ya ŵasilikari ku Sena na Tete pa mlonga wa Zambezi.

Ku chigaŵa chapakati cha Mozambiki, Ŵapwitikizi ŵakayezga kuzomerezga na kukhozga malonda ghawo na malo agho ŵakakhalanga. Ŵakapelekanga charu ku ŵanthu awo ŵakakhalanga mu malo agho ŵakakhalanga, ndipo mu charu cha Mozambiki mukaŵa ŵanthu ŵanandi awo ŵakendeskekanga na ŵanthu ŵakuchemeka prazeiros. Muzga uyo wakaŵa ku Mozambique wakaŵako pambere ŵanthu ŵa ku Europe ŵandafike. Ŵalongozgi ŵa ku Africa ŵakaguliskanga ŵazga, ndipo ŵakamba na ŵamalonda ŵa ku Arab, awo ŵakatumanga ŵazga aŵa ku misumba na minda ya ku Middle East. Pakulutilira na malonda agha, ŵazga ŵakapelekekanga na ŵalongozgi ŵa ku Africa awo ŵakathereskanga mafuko gha ŵalwani ŵawo na kuguliska ŵazga ŵawo ku ŵazga ŵa ku Africa. Ŵanthu ŵa mu chigaŵa ichi ŵakakhalanga na mazaza gha ŵanthu awo ŵakaŵa ŵazga. Ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakafumanga ku Portugal na kuluta ku vyaru vinyake m'paka kuumaliro wa vyaka vya m'ma 1800. Nangauli pakwamba ŵanthu ŵa ku Portugal ndiwo ŵakakhumbanga kuti ŵanthu ŵa ku Portugal ŵekha ndiwo ŵakhalenge mu vigaŵa ivi, kweni chifukwa cha kutorana na ŵanthu ŵa ku Portugal, ŵanthu ŵa ku Portugal ŵakamba kutemwana chomene.

Nangauli Ŵapwitikizi ŵakalutilira kuŵa na mazaza pa charu ichi, kweni ŵakaŵa na mazaza ghachoko waka. Ŵapwitikizi ŵakathereska malonda ghanandi gha mu nyanja kufuma ku Ŵasilamu Ŵaciarabu pakati pa 1500 na 1700, kweni apo Ŵasilamu Ŵaciarabu ŵakathereska msumba wakuzirwa wa Portugal wa Fort Jesus pa Cirwa ca Mombasa (uno mu Kenya) mu 1698, vinthu vikamba kusintha. Cifukwa ca ici, ndalama zikanjiramo yayi mu vyaru vinyake, ndipo Lisbon wakajipeleka comene pa malonda na India na vyaru vya ku Far East.

Ŵaarabu ŵa ku Mazrui na Oman ŵakapoka malo ghanandi agho ŵakaguliskiranga vinthu mu nyanja ya Indian Ocean. Mu vyaka vya m'ma 1800, ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakamba kusuzgika chomene, kweni ŵanyake ŵakapona.

Kalasi la kusindikizga mabuku na kuŵika malemba mu Ciphwitikizi, 1930

Kuuyambiro wa vyaka vya m'ma 1900, Ŵapwitikizi ŵakamba kulamulira chigaŵa chikuru cha Mozambiki na kupeleka ku makampani ghakurughakuru nga ni Mozambique Company, Zambezia Company, na Niassa Company, agho ghakaŵa na ndalama za ku Britain nga ni Solomon Joel. Nangauli mu Mozambiki mukaŵa dango lakulekeska wuzga, kweni kuumaliro wa vyaka vya m'ma 1800, makampani gha vyamalonda ghakamba kugwiliskira nchito ŵanthu awo ŵakagwiranga nchito mwakucicizgika. Kampani ya Zambezia, iyo yikaŵa yakovwira comene, yikatora malo ghacoko waka gha ŵanthu ŵa ku prazeiro na kuzenga malo gha ŵasilikari kuti ŵavikilire katundu wawo. Makampani agha ghakazenga misewu na madoko kuti ŵagulire katundu wawo, kusazgapo njanji iyo yikakolerananga na charu cha Zimbabwe na dowoko la Beira ku Mozambique.

Cifukwa ca kuleka kucita makora vinthu na kusintha kwa boma la Oliveira Salazar, la Estado Novo, kuti ŵanthu ŵa ku Portugal ŵalutilire kulamulira chuma cha Ufumu wa Portugal, makampani agha ghakaŵaso na wanangwa wakucita vinthu vinyake. Ivi ndivyo vikacitika mu 1942 na kampani ya Mozambique Company, iyo yikalutilira kugwira nchito mu vyalo vya ulimi na malonda nga ni wupu. Mu 1951, vyaru ivyo vikaŵa pasi pa Portugal ku Africa vikazgoka vigaŵa vya ku Portugal.

Ku Mueda, pa June 16, 1960, ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakakomeka, ndipo ichi chikapangiska kuti ŵanthu ŵa ku Makonde ŵambe kulimbana kuti ŵajiyimire ŵekha.

### Mozambican War of Independence (1964–1975)

Apo visambizgo vya Chikomyunizimu na vyakwimikana na ufumu vikasazgikira mu Africa mose, magulu ghanandi gha ndyali ghakasangika kuti ghakhozge wanangwa wa Mozambique. Magulu agha ghakatenge chifukwa chakuti boma likakhumbanga kuti ŵanthu ŵa ku Mozambique awo ŵakaŵa Ŵapwitikizi ndiwo ŵasange chandulo na ndondomeko iyi, ntheura ŵanthu ŵakakhumbanga yayi kuti ŵanthu ŵa ku Mozambique ŵalutilire kukolerana na mafuko ghawo.

Kuyana na ivyo ŵasilikari ŵakayowoya, ŵanthu ŵanandi awo ŵakakhalanga mu chigaŵa ichi ŵakasuzgika chomene chifukwa cha kusankhana mitundu. Ŵanandi ŵakawonanga kuti ŵalije mwaŵi panji ndalama zinandi zakukwana kuti ŵasambizgike makora ntchito na kusintha umoyo wawo wa vyachuma na wa ŵanthu. Kuyana na maukaboni, Ŵapwitikizi ŵazungu ŵa ku Mozambique ŵakaŵa ŵasambazi comene ndiposo ŵakumanya vinandi kuluska ŵanthu ŵa mitundu yinyake. Pakuzgora ku gulu la ŵasilikari, boma la Portugal likamba kusintha vinthu mu ma 1960 na kuuyambiro wa ma 1970.

Gulu lakucemeka Front for the Liberation of Mozambique (FRELIMO) likambiska nkhondo yakwimikana na boma la Portugal mu Seputembala 1964. Nkhondo iyi pamoza na zinyake ziŵiri izo zikacitika kale mu vyaru vinyake vya Portugal nga ni Angola na Guinea, yikaŵa cigaŵa ca nkhondo ya ku Portugal (1961-1974). Kuyana na umo ŵasilikari ŵakawoneranga vinthu, ŵasilikari ŵa ku Portugal ŵakalutilira kulamulira malo agho ŵanthu ŵakakhalanga, apo ŵasilikari ŵa ku Portugal ŵakayezga kuti ŵaleke kuŵa na mazaza pa ŵanthu ŵa ku mizi na mafuko agho ghakaŵa kumpoto na kumanjiliro gha dazi. Pakuzgora ku FRELIMO, boma la Portugal likamba kuŵika mtima comene pa kulenga vinthu vyakukondweska kuti vinthu vyendenge makora pa umoyo wa ŵanthu na kuti vinthu visinthe.

### Kujiyimira (1975)
FRELIMO yikapoka mazaza pa cigaŵa ici pamanyuma pa vilimika 10 vya nkhondo, kweniso apo caru ca Portugal cikawelera ku demokilase pamanyuma pa kuwa kwa boma la Estado Novo mu April 1974 na kupoka boma pa Novembala 25, 1975. Mu caka cimoza, ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵa ku Portugal ŵakukwana 250,000 ŵakafumako ku Mozambique. Ŵanyake ŵakacimbizgika na boma la caru ici, ŵanyake ŵakafumamo mu caru ici kuti ŵaleke kukomeka na boma la ku Mozambique. Dango likapelekeka na Armando Guebuza wa chipani cha FRELIMO, uyo wakaŵa wambura kumanyikwa chomene. Ŵakati ŵatondeka kusanga ndalama, ŵanandi ŵakawelera ku Portugal kwambura ndalama.

### Nkhondo Yachikaya ku Mozambique (1977-1992)

Boma liphya la Pulezidenti Samora Machel likakhazikiska boma la chipani cimoza lakujintha pa fundo za Marx. Wakapokera wovwiri wa ŵasilikari na wa ŵasilikari kufuma ku Cuba na Soviet Union, ndipo wakamba kukanizga ŵanthu awo ŵakasuskanga boma ili. Pakati pa 1977 na 1992, caru ici cikakhwaskika na nkhondo ya cikaya iyo yikacitika pakati pa gulu lakulimbana na boma la Mozambique (RENAMO) na boma la Frelimo. Nkhondo iyi ndiyo yikaŵa yikuru comene mu vyaka vyakwambilira apo Mozambique yikaŵa na wanangwa wa kujilongozga, ndipo yikaŵa pamoza na vinthu vyakofya ivyo vikacitikanga mu vyaru vyapafupi nga ni Rhodesia na South Africa. Nyengo iyi yikaŵaso na ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵa ku Portugal na ŵa ku Mozambique, vinthu vikaŵayendera makora yayi, boma likagwiliskiranga ntchito ndalama zinandi yayi pakupanga vinthu vinyake, ndipo likagwiliskiranga ntchito maboma gha ŵanthu ŵekha.

Mu nyengo ya nkhondo iyi, boma la FRELIMO likatondeka kulamulira vinthu mu matawuni agho ghakaŵa kutali na msumba. Vigaŵa ivyo vikulongozgeka na RENAMO vikaŵa na vigaŵa vyakujumpha 50 pa vigaŵa vyose vya ku mizi mu vigaŵa vinandi. Suzgo likakura comene apo boma likadumulizga ndalama izo likagwiliskiranga ntchito pa vya cipatala. Nkhondo iyi yikaŵa na ŵanthu ŵanandi awo ŵakuswa wanangwa wa ŵanthu ku vigaŵa vyakupambanapambana. Boma likakoma ŵanthu masauzandi ghanandi apo likakhumbanga kuti liwusenge caru cose, ndipo likatuma ŵanthu ŵanandi ku "misasa yakusambizgirako ŵanthu" uko ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakafwira.
Mu nyengo ya nkhondo, RENAMO yikapeleka fundo yakuti vyaru vya kumpoto na vya kumanjiliro gha dazi vipatuke na kuzgoka Rombesia, kweni FRELIMO yikakana. Ŵanthu pafupifupi 1 miliyoni ku Mozambique ŵakafwa pa nyengo ya nkhondo iyi, ŵanthu 1.7 miliyoni ŵakachimbilira ku vyaru vyapafupi. Boma la FRELIMO likapelekaso malo ghakubisamamo na wovwiri ku ŵanthu ŵakugaluka ŵa ku South Africa (African National Congress) na Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe African National Union), apo maboma gha Rhodesia na South Africa ghakawovwira RENAMO mu nkhondo ya pawenenawene. Ŵanthu pakati pa 300,000 na 600,000 ŵakafwa na njara.

Pa 19 Okutobala 1986, Machel wakaweranga ku Zambia kufuma ku ungano wa vyaru vyakupambanapambana mu ndege ya Pulezidenti ya Tupolev Tu-134 apo ndege iyi yikawa mu mapiri gha Lebombo kufupi na Mbuzini mu chigaŵa cha Mpumalanga ku South Africa. Pakaŵa ŵanthu 10 awo ŵakapona, kweni Pulezidenti Machel na ŵanyake 33 ŵakafwa, kusazgapo ŵantchito ŵa boma la Mozambique. Wupu wa United Nations uwo ukafumanga ku Soviet, ukalemba lipoti ilo likati ŵanthu ŵa ku South Africa ndiwo ŵakananga ivyo iwo ŵakamanyanga. Ŵalara ŵa boma la Soviet Union ŵakayowoya kuti ndege iyi ŵakayisintha mwadala na mboniwoni yautesi iyo yikapelekeka na boma la South Africa.

Joaquim Chissano uyo wakanjira m'malo mwa Machel, wakasintha vinthu vinandi mu charu ichi, ndipo wakamba kusintha vinthu nga nkhufumako ku visambizgo vya Marxist kuya ku vya capitalism. Ndondomeko yiphya ya boma iyo yikaŵako mu 1990 yikati pali maboma ghanandi, chuma cha msika, kweniso mavoti gha wanangwa. Nkhondo iyi yikamara mu Okutobala 1992 apo ŵakacita phangano la mtende la Rome General Peace Accords. Mu Mozambique mukaŵaso mtende, ndipo ŵasilikari ŵa United Nations ndiwo ŵakalongozganga.

### Nyengo ya demokilase (1993~pano)

Mu 1994, ku Mozambique kukaŵa maungano gha vyaru ivyo vikazomerezga kuti maungano agha ngawanangwa kweniso ngaurunji. FRELIMO wakatonda, mwakulongozgeka na Joaquim Chissano, apo RENAMO, mwakulongozgeka na Afonso Dhlakama, wakathereska ŵalwani ŵake. Mu 1995, Mozambiki wakanjira mu wupu wa Commonwealth of Nations, ndipo pa nyengo iyo ukaŵa yekha mu wupu uwu uwo ukaŵa kuti undaŵepo mu ufumu wa Britain.

Ŵanthu ŵanyake 4 miliyoni awo ŵakacimbira kwawo ŵakawelera ku vikaya vyawo. Mu Disembala 1999, ku Mozambique kukaŵa mavoti ghaciŵiri kufuma apo nkhondo ya mukati mu caru yikambira. Wupu wa RENAMO ukadandawura kuti FRELIMO ngwakupusika ndipo ukati uzamuweleraso ku nkhondo, kweni ukagongowa pamanyuma pakuti wakaluta ku Khoti Likuru Chomene.

Kukwambilira kwa chaka cha 2000, chimphepo chikuru chikachitiska kuti maji ghatutuke, ndipo ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakafwa. Ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakagomezganga kuti ŵalongozgi ŵa FRELIMO ndiwo ŵakakhumbanga kupeleka wovwiri ku vyaru vinyake. Mulembi wa nyuzipepara Carlos Cardoso, uyo wakacitanga kafukufuku pa nkhani iyi, wakakomeka, ndipo palije uyo wakalongosora cifukwa ico wakafwira.

Mu 2001, Chissano wakadandawura chomene na ŵalongozgi awo ŵakakhalapo nyengo yitali kuluska iyo, ndipo ŵanthu ŵakaghanaghananga kuti wakuyowoya vya Frederick Chiluba, uyo pa nyengo iyo wakaghanaghananga vya nyengo yachitatu, kweniso Robert Mugabe, uyo pa nyengo iyi wakaŵa na nyengo yachinayi. Chisankho cha purezidenti na cha National Assembly chikachitika pa 1 na 2 Disembala 2004. Wapampando wa FRELIMO Armando Guebuza wakathereska na mavoti 64% ndipo Dhlakama wakapokera 32% ya mavoti.

Guebuza wakimikika kuŵa purezidenti wa Mozambique pa 2 February 2005 ndipo wakagwira ma mandamu ghaŵiri gha vyaka vinkhondi. Uyo wakamulondezga, Filipe Nyusi, wakaŵa purezidenti wachinayi wa Mozambique pa 15 January 2015.

Kufuma mu 2013 m'paka mu 2019, gulu la RENAMO likawukira chomene mu chigaŵa chapakati na kumpoto kwa charu ichi. Pa Seputembala 5, 2014, Guebuza na Dhlakama ŵakasayina phangano lakukanizga nkhondo, ilo likamazga nkhondo na kuzomerezga magulu ghose ghaŵiri kuti ghaŵike mtima pa maungano gha boma agho ghachitikenge mu Okutobala 2014. Ndipouli, pamanyuma pa maungano ghakuru, pakawuka suzgo linyake la ndyali. RENAMO wakakana kuzomerezga kuti mavoti gha mavoti ngaunenesko ndipo wakapempha kuti waŵe na mazaza pa vigaŵa vinkhondi na cimoza, Nampula, Niassa, Tete, Zambezia, Sofala, na Manica, uko ŵakayowoya kuti ŵali na mazaza ghanandi. Ŵanthu pafupifupi 12,000 ŵakachimbilira ku Malawi. Wupu wa UNHCR, wa Doctors Without Borders, na wa Human Rights Watch, ukati ŵasilikari ŵa boma ŵakawotcha mizi na kukoma ŵanthu na kuŵachitira nkhaza.

### Ubale na vyaru vinyake

Nangauli ŵanthu ŵa ku Mozambique ŵakalutilira kugomezgeka ku boma ili kufuma waka apo likambiranga nkhondo ya kufwatuka, kweni ndyali za charu ichi zikulutilira kusintha. Ndime ziŵiri za ndyali za Mozambique ni kusungilira ubwezi uwemi na ŵazengezgani ŵake ndiposo kusungilira na kusazgirako ubwezi na ŵanyawo.

Mu vyaka vya m'ma 1970 na kuuyambiro wa m'ma 1980, ndyali ya Mozambique yikakhwaskika na nkhondo ya ku Rhodesia na South Africa. Cifukwa cakuti Mozambiki wakazomerezga yayi kuti Rhodesia yende pa nyanja, boma la Ian Smith likamba kulimbana nayo. Nangauli boma la Zimbabwe likati lasintha mu 1980, likawuskapo suzgo ili, kweni boma la South Africa likalutilira kusuzga Mozambique. Mozambiki nayo wakaŵa mu gulu la vyaru ivyo vikaŵa ku nkhondo. Phangano la Nkomati ilo likachitika mu 1984, likati latondeka kumazga wovwiri wa RENAMO ku South Africa, likajura nthowa zakwamba pakati pa maboma gha Mozambique na South Africa. Ndondomeko iyi yikalutilira apo boma la South Africa likamazga muwuso wa apartheid. Nangauli nyengo zinyake vinthu vikusuzga ku Zimbabwe, Malawi, Zambia, na Tanzania, kweni Mozambique yikulutilira kukolerana na vyaru ivi.

Mu vilimika vyakulondezgapo, Mozambique wakapokera wovwiri ukuru kufuma ku vyaru vinyake vya ku Western, comenecomene ku Scandinavia. Soviet Union na ŵabwezi ŵake ndiwo ŵakateŵeteranga Mozambiki pa nkhani za cuma, nkhondo, na ndyali.

Mwaluŵiro wovwiri wa vyaru vya Scandinavia nga ni Sweden, Norway, Denmark, na Iceland, ukasinthira wovwiri wa Soviet. Finland na Netherlands vikuŵa vyakurya vyakuzirwa comene pa nkhani ya wovwiri. Charu cha Italy nacho chili na mazaza mu Mozambique cifukwa ca mulimo uwo cikacita pa mtende. Ubwezi na caru ca Portugal, ico kale cikaŵa na mazaza pa caru ici, ukuŵa wakuzirwa comene cifukwa cakuti awo ŵakuguliska ndalama ku Portugal ŵakovwira comene pa cuma ca Mozambique.

Mozambique njumoza wa vyaru ivyo vikwendera lumoza yayi na vyaru vinyake ivyo vili ku Africa. Mozambique nayo wali mu wupu wa African Union na Southern African Development Community. Mu 1994, boma la Iran likazgoka ciŵaro ca wupu wa Islamic Conference, kuti likhozgere ŵanthu ŵa mitundu yose, kweniso kuti likondweske Ŵasilamu ŵanandi ŵa mu caru ici. Mwakuyana waka, mu 1995, Mozambique nayo wakajibatika ku vyaru vinyake ivyo vikuyowoya Cingelezi. Pa nyengo iyo, ndiyo yikaŵa yimoza mwa vyaru ivyo vikaŵa mu Commonwealth kweni vikaŵa vigaŵa vya Ufumu wa Britain yayi. Mu chaka chenechichi, Mozambique yikaŵa yumoza wa awo ŵakambiska na kuŵa pulezidenti wakwamba wa Wupu Wakulongozga wa vyaru ivyo vikuyowoya Ciphwitikizi.

### Human rights

Wupu wa vya ndalama wa IMF ukuti Mozambique ni caru cikavu ico cili na ngongoli zinandi. Pa kafukufuku uyo wakacitika mu 2006, ŵanthu ŵatatu pa ŵanthu ŵanayi ŵa ku Mozambique ŵakati mu vilimika vinkhondi ivyo vyajumpha, ndalama izo ŵakasanga zikwenda makora yayi.

Ndalama ya boma ya Mozambique ni metical (kufuma mu Disembala 2022, US$1 yikukolerana na 64 meticals). Ndalama za US dollar, South African rand, na euro vikupokelereka na kugwiliskirika nchito mu bizinesi. Malipiro ghapachanya agho boma likuzomerezga ni $60 pa mwezi. Charu cha Mozambique chili mu wupu wa Southern African Development Community (SADC). Pulogiramu ya SADC yakuyowoya za malonda gha mwawanangwa yikovwira kuti caru ca kumwera kwa Africa ciŵe cakupambana na vyaru vinyake mwa kuwuskapo ndondo na mphindano zinyake.

Kafukufuku uyo ŵakacita pamoza na maboma gha awo ŵakovwira ŵanthu mu 2007 wakati: "Mozambiki wakuwoneka kuti ni caru ico cakovwira comene".

### Rebounding growth

Ŵanthu awo ŵakachimbilira ku vyaru vinyake na kusintha vinthu mu charu ichi ŵakukura chomene. Vinthu vikasintha chomene mu charu ichi, ndipo pakati pa 1996 na 2006, chiŵelengero cha ŵanthu awo ŵakakhalanga mu vyaru ivi chikakwera pa 8%, ndipo pakati pa 2006 na 2011, chikakwera pa 67%. Kuti vinthu viŵe makora kunthazi, pakukhumbikwira ndalama zinandi zakufuma ku vyaru vinyake, kusintha vinthu pa nkhani ya vyachuma, na kuwezgerapo ulimi, mendero, na vyakusanguluska. Mu 2013, ŵanthu pafupifupi 80% ŵakagwiranga ntchito zaulimi, ndipo ŵanandi ŵakagwiranga ntchito zaulimi. Ndipouli, mu 2012, malo ghakujumpha 90% gha mu Mozambique ghakaŵa ghambura kulima.

Mu 2013, nkhani yinyake ya pa BBC yikati kwamba mu 2009, ŵanthu ŵa ku Portugal ŵakambaso kuwelera ku Mozambique chifukwa cha uchumi uwo ukukura mu charu ichi.

Nyengo zinandi boma likasankhanga munthu wakwendeskera vyaru vinyake para likukhumba kupanga kampani yinyake. Kweniso, msonkho wa msonkho wachepeskeka, ndipo msonkho wa msonkho wachepeskeka na kunozgekaso. Mu 1999, boma likakhazikiska msonkho wakusazgirako mtengo wa vinthu.

### Corruption

Chuma cha Mozambique chakhuŵara na vimbundi vinandi. Mu Julayi 2011, boma likapeleka malango ghaphya ghakususkana na vimbundi kuti ŵanthu ŵaleke kwiba ndalama za boma. Ndondomeko iyi yikazomerezgeka na ŵalara ŵa boma. Boma la Mozambique likadumura kuti ŵaliska ŵaŵiri ŵakale ŵakaŵa ŵarunji cifukwa ca vimbundi. Pa vyaru 178, charu cha Mozambique chili pa nambara 116 pa vyaru vyose ivyo vili na vimbundi. Lipoti linyake la wupu wa USAID ilo likalembeka mu 2005, likati: "Ukaboni wakuti vimbundi vili palipose mu Mozambique ukupangiska kuti ŵanthu ŵacitenge wofi".

Mu 2012, boma la chigaŵa cha Inhambane likavumbura kuti Calisto Alberto Tomo, uyo ni mulara wa Dipatimenti ya Vyakumara Minkhwala, wakaswa ndalama za boma. Ŵakasanga kuti wakakolerana na Recalda Guambe, uyo wakaŵa mulembi wa mabuku mu ofesi ya Anti-Drug Office, kuti ŵibire ndalama zakukwana 260,000 meticais pakati pa 2008 na 2010. Boma la Mozambique lachitapo kanthu kuti limazge vimbundi, ndipo vinthu vyamba kwenda makora. Mu 2012, boma la Mozambique likapeleka malango ghanandi ghakovwira kuti vimbundi vileke.

### Natural resources

Mu 2010 na 2011, Anadarko Petroleum na Eni ŵakasanga malo gha gesi gha Mamba South, agho ghali na gasi wakujumpha 4,200 billion cubic metres (150 trillion cubic feet) mu Rovuma Basin, kufupi na mphepete mwa nyanja ya kumpoto kwa chigaŵa cha Cabo Delgado. Para vyaŵa nthena, Mozambiki wangaŵa yumoza wa vyaru ivyo vikupanga gasi. Mu Janyuwale 2017, boma likasankha makampani ghatatu kuti ghapange migodi ya gasi ku Rovuma. GL Africa Energy (UK) ndiyo yikapokera thirakiti limoza. Likukhumba kuzenga na kwendeska sitima ya gasi ya 250 MW. Ntchito iyi yikeneranga kwamba mu 2018. Pa nyengo yasono, boma la Mozambique likukhumba kuti mu 2024, likambe kutumizga LNG pa caru cose. Mu 2019, vinthu ivyo vikachitika mu malo gha Rovuma Basin, agho ghakumanyikwa kuti The Mozambique LNG Project, vikakhozga ndalama zakukwana madola 19 biliyoni kufuma ku wupu wa ŵaguliskayi kuti ŵagulire LNG iyi. Ntchito yikuru ya kuzenga na ntchito zinyake izo zikukolerana nayo, yikapelekeka ku kampani ya TotalEnergies.

### Tourism

Charu ichi chili na malo ghanandi ghakutowa, vyamoyo vyamuthengere, na malo ghakusangwa na ŵanthu. Charu cha Mozambique chili na mwaŵi ukuru wa kukura.

Mphepete mwa nyanja za kumpoto uko kuli maji ghakutowa ni malo ghakutowa comene, comenecomene ku virwa vya Quirimbas na Bazaruto. Chigaŵa cha Inhambane chikukopa ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakufuma ku vyaru vinyake chifukwa cha vyamoyo vinandi ivyo vili mu nyanja. Pali malo ghanandi ghakusungirako vyamoyo, kusazgapo malo gha Gorongosa National Park.

Pali misewu ya makilomita ghakujumpha 30,000, kweni yinandi njambura kujintha. Nga umo viliri mu vyaru vinyake, magalimoto ghakwendera kumazere. Ku Maputo kuli chiŵanja cha ndege cha mitundu yose, viŵanja vinyake vya ndege 21 vyambura kujima, na malo ghakujumpha 100 ghakwambukirapo ndege. Pali misewu ya maji yakukwana makilomita 3,750. Pali misewu ya njanji iyo yikwendera mu misumba yikuruyikuru na kukolerana na Malawi, Zimbabwe na South Africa. Njanji za ku Mozambique zikenda kwa vyaka vyakujumpha 100 kufuma ku vipata vitatu ivyo vikaŵa mumphepete mwa nyanja. Misewu iyi yikaŵa yakukhumbikwa comene pa nyengo ya Nkhondo ya Caru na Caru ya ku Mozambique, ndipo RENAMO ndiyo yikayiparanya. Wupu wa boma, uwo ukuchemeka Portos e Caminhos de Ferro de Moçambique (Mozambique Ports and Railways), ndiwo ukulaŵilira misewu ya njanji na maboti agho ghakukolerana nayo. Mzere uliwose uli na nthowa yake yakucitira vinthu.

Mu Ogasiti 2010, boma la Mozambique na la Botswana ghakasazga chikalata chakulongosolera umo ŵagwilirenge ntchito ya kupanga njanji ya mtunda wa makilomita 1,100 kujumpha mu Zimbabwe. Gulu liphya la matayala ilo likagwiranga nchito ku Indian Golden Rock likagwiliskiranga nchito vyakukolerana vya pakati na mabureki gha mphepo.

### Kupeleka maji na maji ghakumwa

Ku Mozambique, ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵalije maji ghakumwa (pa 2011 ŵakaŵa na maji 51 peresenti), ndipo ŵakusoŵa vyakumwa vyakwenelera (pa 2011 ŵakaŵa na maji 25 peresenti). Mu 2007, boma likanozga vyakuti ŵanthu awo ŵakukhala mu vigaŵa ivi ŵakhalenge na maji ghawemi. Mu matawuni, maji ghakupelekeka na ŵantchito ŵacoko na ŵantchito ŵa boma.

Kwamba mu 1998, Mozambique wakasintha ndondomeko ya maji gha mu matawuni mwa kupanga wupu wakuwona vya maji (CRA), kampani yakuwona vya ndalama (FIPAG) na kampani yakuchemeka Aguas de Moçambique. Pa ndondomeko iyi pakaŵa vigaŵa vya msumba uwu na misumba yinyake yinayi iyo yikaŵa na maji. Ndipouli, PPP yikamara mu 2008 apo mapangano ghakulongozga misumba yinayi ghakajumpha ndipo mu 2010, munthu munyake wa ku charu chinyake uyo wakagwiranga ntchito mu msumba uwu wakafumamo chifukwa cha suzgo. Nangauli boma likuŵika mtima comene pa nkhani ya maji mu misumba, kweni pasono lilije ndondomeko yakukhwaskana na mauto ghakutowa. Awo ŵakupeleka ndalama ŵakupeleka ndalama zakukwana 87.4% ya ndalama izo boma likupeleka.

## Ŵanthu

Vigaŵa vya kumpoto kwa Zambezia na Nampula ndivyo vili na ŵanthu ŵanandi chomene. Ŵanthu awo ŵakukhala kumpoto kwa charu ichi ni Makua pafupifupi 4 miliyoni. Magulu ghanyake ni Makonde, Yao, Swahili, Tonga, Chopi, na Nguni (mwakusazgapo Ŵazulu).

Pa nyengo iyo Portugal yikalamuliranga caru ici, ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵa ku Portugal ŵakakhalanga mu vigaŵa vyose. Ŵanandi mwa ŵanthu aŵa ŵakafumamo mu charu ichi mu 1975 apo charu ichi chikapokera wanangwa kufuma ku Portugal. Ŵanthu ŵanyake ŵakuyowoya kuti mu Mozambique muli ŵanthu ŵa ku China ŵakujumpha 7,000.

Kafukufuku munyake uyo wakachitika mu 2011, wakalongora kuti pa mwanakazi yumoza, pakaŵa ŵana 5.9, ndipo ku mizi pakaŵa ŵana 6.6, ndipo mu misumba pakaŵa ŵana 4.5.

### Viyowoyelo

Chiphwitikizi ndicho chikuyowoyeka chomene mu charu ichi, ndipo ŵanthu 50.3% ŵakuyowoya. Viyowoyero vya ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Bantu ivyo vikuyowoyeka mu charu ichi vikupambana chomene ndipo nyengo zinyake ŵanthu ŵakuvipulikiska yayi. Padera pa chiyowoyero icho chikuyowoyeka kumpoto kwa charu ichi, Chiswahili chikuyowoyeka mu chigaŵa chichoko cha mumphepete mwa nyanja kufupi na mphaka ya Tanzania. Mu chigaŵa cha Swahili, ŵanthu ŵakuyowoya chiyowoyero cha Makonde. Makonde na Yao ŵali mu gulu lapadera, ndipo chiyowoyero cha Yao chikukolerana chomene na chiyowoyero cha Mwera ku Rondo Plateau, Tanzania.

Viyowoyero vinyake vya mu gulu la eMakhuwa vikupambana chomene na ivi. Vili na lizgu lakuti k- ilo likwamba na lizgu lakuti vowel. Pali chiyowoyero cha eMakhuwa, pamoza na chiyowoyero cha eLomwe na eChuwabo, kweniso chigaŵa chichoko cha ŵanthu ŵakuyowoya chiyowoyero cha eKoti. Mu chigaŵa icho chili musi mwa Mlonga wa Zambezi, ŵanthu ŵakuyowoya chiyowoyero cha Sena, icho chili mu gulu limoza na Nyanja.

Chigaŵa chikuru icho ŵanthu ŵakuyowoya ChiShona chili pakati pa mphaka ya Zimbabwe na nyanja. Chiyowoyero ichi chikuyana waka na Chishona, kweni chikuyana yayi na chiyowoyero cha Chishona, ndipo ŵanthu awo ŵakuyowoya chiyowoyero ichi ŵakuchiwona kuti ntchakupambana. Kumwera kwa chigaŵa ichi kuli viyowoyero vya Tsonga. ChiTsonga chikuyowoyeka mumphepete mwa nyanja na mu charu, ndipo chiTsonga chikuyowoyeka mu chigaŵa cha Limpopo River. Chiyowoyero ichi chikusangikaso mu charu cha South Africa. Ŵanyake mwa ŵanthu awo ŵakuyowoya chiyowoyero ichi ni GiTonga, BiTonga, na CiCopi panji Chopi, awo ŵakuyowoyeka kumpoto kwa mlomo wa Limpopo, kweniso XiRonga panji Ronga, awo ŵakuyowoyeka kufupi na Maputo. Viyowoyero vya mu gulu ili, mwakuyana na mazgu ghachoko waka, vikuyana waka na vya Cizulu, kweni ni viyowoyero vya mu gulu limoza yayi. Ku Mozambique kuli vigaŵa vichoko ivyo ŵanthu ŵakuyowoya Ciswazi na Cizulu.

Ŵanthu ŵa ku India, China, na Arabia ŵakuyowoya Ciphwitikizi. Ŵanthu ŵa ku India awo ŵakuyowoya Ciphwitikizi ŵakuyowoya Ciphwitikizi.
