Abstract:The pattern of counter-revolutionary guerilla warfare In Nicaragua and Mozambique runs parallel: an ostensibly domestic enemy backed by a foreign power. External intervention, first of all by Rhodesia and later by South Africa, has severely battered Mozambique's transition to socialism. Despite the signing of the Nkomati Accord in 1984 the war of destabilisation continues, the list of Mozambique's external enemies remains a daunting one, and the economy is still in dire straits. The Mozambican government's own analysis of the situation is briefly presented in a postscript, written after the author's research trip to Mozambique in April-May 1985. Notes.
