1. Mozambique By: Curtis Hickerson

2. Mozambique's Relative Location Mozambique stretches along Africa's southeast coast. Tanzania is to the north; Malawi, Zambia, and Zimbabwe to the west; and South Africa and Swaziland to the south. The country is a low-lying plateau broken up by 25 large rivers that flow into the Indian Ocean.

3. Imports and Exports Exports: (2007) aluminum, prawns, cashews, cotton, sugar, citrus, timber; bulk electricity. Imports: (2007) machinery and equipment, vehicles, fuel, chemicals, metal products, food, textiles.

4. Mozambique’s Historic Facts It was explored by Vasco da Gama in 1498 and first colonized by Portugal in 1505. Guerrilla activity began in 1963 and became so effective by 1973 that Portugal was forced to dispatch 40,000 troops to fight the rebels. On Jan. 25, 1985, the government was locked in a paralyzing war with antigovernment guerrillas fighters.

5. Why the facts are important This was when the country was basically made. The Mozambique government had to send out many of their men for one purpose. The guerilla fighters lead to the fact above.

6. Mozambique Is about the Size of California And is 1,535 miles Long.

8. Government Mozambique is a multiparty democratic republic.

9. Religion Mozambique 24%, Islam 18%, Zionist Christian 18%, none 23%

10. Food Corn is an important staple food; both corn and cassava were introduced from the Americas by the Portuguese. Cashews, pineapple, and peanuts, which are other important foods, found their way to Mozambique in the same way. Along the coast, the cuisine is more varied than it is in the areas that are more inland. The diet there includes more fruit and rice as well as seafood dishes such as macaza (grilled shellfish kabobs), bacalhão (dried salted cod) and chocos (squid cooked in its own ink). Food is seasoned with peppers, onions, and coconut. Palm wine (shema) is a widely liked drink.

11. What I think for Mozambique's future I think that eventually Mozambique's mainly military rule will send it into very bad times. It might also lead to the country being taken over or cause the government’s downfall.
