This is Cabora Bassa dam being buid. And one of the regular convoy climbing from the plains to the building site.

Work on the dam began in 1969 and ended in 1974.

Frelimo really screwed that country up upon taking power. All the highly skilled Portuguese were forced to leave by 1976 because of Frelimo's nationalization of their property and discriminated against them. Those same Portuguese moved to South Africa and got their reverse. They played a key role in South Africa's support of Renamo which gave Frelimo a taste of their own medicine.

They were colonial masters that is why they were forced to leave the country, unlike Chinese who are in the country to invest not loot our resources! Portuguese were bunch of looters.

The Portuguese did quite a lot to develop the infrastructure of their African colonies. Must have been beautiful in the pre-war years. And then came the commies...

[@Deontjie]

Tribal warfare has been an African thing, long before (and after) the commies.

Oh, shut up, there is no way you really believe that

[@ahsanurr4219]

Yet Portugal is still poor country lol

[@obriets]

Should have seen Rhodesia before Mugabe. His story should be called “How to f**k up a country”. Same for every other colony in Africa.

[@MayumiC-chan9377]

colonizers have everyone believing they had people’s of color interests at heart
