Its capital and largest city is Maputo. Beira, in Sofala province, is the second largest town. Mozambique is a former Portuguese colony and became independent in 1975. Civil war and economic collapse characterized the first decade of Mozambican independence. It is now a multi-party republic ruled by a president and a prime minister. Mozambique is divided into 10 provinces which are subdivided into 129 districts. The majority of its 18 million people live in rural areas with an urban population of only 29%. Its economy is based on industry products (such as cement, cigarettes and alcoholic beverages) and agriculture products (such as sugar, cashews, oil-bearing seeds and tea). Mozambique is vulnerable to climatic hazards such as floods, droughts and cyclones. Malaria is the first cause of mortality among children and the tuberculosis rate is 138 per 100' 000 (2002), ranking 11th on the high-burden Tuberculosis countries.
