Mozambique is a republic in south-east Africa. Colonized by the Portuguese, it gained independence in 1975. A long-running civil war ended in 1992 and in 1995 the country was admitted to the
Commonwealth as a special case, because of its very close links with
South Africa and
Zimbabwe. It had suffered severely in recent years from the flooding of the Zambezi and Limpopo rivers.
