Abstract:During the 1840s Angoche became the chief slaving port of the Mozambique coast. The town, which was attacked numerous times by the British and the Portuguese, was finally seized by the Portuguese da Silva in 1861. The Muslims who fled from Portuguese occupation were led by Mussa Quanto (d. 1877), Ussene and Farelay. They confined the Portuguese to a few coastal garrisons, continued the slave trade, and gradually built up an anti-Portuguese 'front' amongst the Macua peoples of the hinterland. Farelay was not overthrown and the Macua country was not occupied by the Portuguese until 1910. Notes, summary.
