Tiae National President of UNEDO, Joao Nhambiu represented UNEdO in all these conferences. At tkie close of the conference, Joao had tie occasion to visit Dar-es-salaam, where a great many of the Meztmbican student body is found. Nyambiu passes to the section the personal regards from our compatriots in Dar- es-saSlaam. The result of Nharabiu's presence as a representative of UNEIAO overseas can never be overemphasized. UNEMO gained recognition as the sole representative of the minds and aspiration of the Mozambique student body. UNEMO emerged as a recognized student body inernationally, and this is a groat achievement for our organization in the light of what we went through in V e list two years. UNEMO'S recognition :'uts n n end to the old intellectial dispute between UNEMO and UGEAN over legitimate representation of the Mozambique student body. LONG LIVE UNEMO ! -2- RESOLUTION OF COMISSION ON RIC STUDIES (RIC- Research & Information Comission) PORTUGUESE CONTROLLED TRRITO1S IN AFRICA Tle nth International Conference notes: (1) That notwithstanding the 1951 changes in the Constitution of Portugal which incorporated Angola, Cape Verde Islands, Mozambique, Portuguese, San Tome and Principe into so-called "overseas provinces" of Portugal, Portugal's relations to these territories is, in fact, one of colonial exploitation and the territories are defacto colonies of Portugal. 95% to 98% of the inhabitants of these colonies (with the exception of Cape Verde Islands), are not given the status of citizen (whatever its worth in fascist Portugal) and are denied .the most elementary political and human rights. (2) That the majority of the population is subject to a series of administrative juridical controls which combine to produce an efficient police state apparatis for colonial exploitati6n and its oppression. (3) That in all the colonies the state of public health is disastrous, child mortality is extremely high and medical services for the Africans are minimal. (4) That the economic exploitation of the colonies is almost entirely based on the ruthless exploitation of African labour. While Portuguese legislation in principle forbids forced or compulsory labour, these labour laws are widely abused. Some 100,000. Africans in Mozambique and some 450,000 Africans in Angola are held by Goverment and private employers as forced labourers during any of given years. South Africa, too, takes its share of cheap labour from Mozambique and Angola each year. (5) That the so-called 1961 reforms, ending the legal distinction between the political rights of the Africans (indigina status) and others do not in any real way change the previous restrictions on rights of the populations of the territories. (6) That education for Africans in the colonies, at both primary and secondary levels is totally inadequate. (7) That in Angola there has been since 1961 a bloody and ruthless colonial war which has led to the death of tens of thousands of Africans and the forced exile of over 500,00 Angolans. (8) That a ruthless colonial war is also going on in Portuguese Guinea and that the Guinean Nationalist movements now control some 20% of the total territories. (9) That the NATO powers are still providing arms and weapons which are uscd by Portugal to suppress the people of Portuguese Controlled Africa despite the resolution of the United Nations urging all nations to stop supplying such arss -1- (a) The Conference, therefore, strongly condemns the brutal Portuguese Colonial policy which deprives the people of these territories of the most elementary human rights and it pledges full support to the peoples of these territories struggling for their national independence and self-determination. (b) Considering the grave educational situation of the peoples of these territories, the International Student Conference urges COSEC and all National Unions to do everything possible to provide scholarships and facilities for university and high school education for the youth of these territories. (c) The Conference urges full support for the economic boycott of Portugal, recommended by the United Nations General Assembbly. (d) The Conference calls upon the NATO powers in particular the U.S .A, Germany, U.K., and France, to stop supplying military assistance to Portugal. (e) The Conference urges the Portuguese Government to put an end to the ruthless colonial war it is waging in these territories and to negotiate with the nationalist movements representing the peoples of these territories so that they may obtain their independence. (f) The International Student Conference further demands the release of all political prisoners. (g) The Conference mandates COSFC t* bring this resolution to the attention of the United Nations, the Portuguese Goverment and other interested nations. RESOLUTION CARRIED. I-0ThO I A . A general explanation has been given to justify why some Student Organizations or Students as such should or ought to take political actions on all matters that concern the society. It was said that the Student (Organizations) Unions in the developing areas, being a privileged minority in the societies, is in a position to see and understand the various factors that determine the political decisions and actions by the existing governments or the political parties. Therefore, since outside these student groups there are only few, if any at all, other independent organizations capable of giving a fruitful criticism and constructive cooperation, the students are called upon to engage fully in revamping of society and its reorientation. Well, on this point most of us agree. For our particular case, Mr. Chairman, I would like to inform my fellow delegates that our Student Organization came into existence in peculiar circumstances which have molded almost the whole policy of our Organization. Although Academic freedom,theartral events and other normal concerns of the Students do occupy the background of our programs, we are foremost and ultimately dedicated to the destruction of the colonial system which has been dominating our country for a long period, and the formation of a free and democratic society. Hence, our program involves a total commitment by the Students in the struggle against colonialism, neo-colonialism and all its manifestations. Mr. Chairman, in a country where the actions of those who are opposed to the prevailing system must remain anonymous, in a situation where solidarity among all organizations that fight against the system must of necessity establish a framework of cooperation in order that they concerted action may be of any consequence, the Student Orgaization cannot remain aloof or apolitical. When we came into existence three years go, there were more than two political parties working towards liberation of Mozambique. Since all of these parties had no difference in the principle matters, it was possible for our Student Organization to cooperate with all, although unefficiently and with considerable difficulties. We sought to unite them by narrowing the difference that existed between them in the matters of expediency both by devising new programs of actions and also by pointing out to the dificiencies of such a division fo nationalist force. Once FRITLrnO (Mozambique Liberation Front) was formed by the meger of the three major political parties, our cooperation with the Front has been almost over all matters. I have, Mr. Chairman, mentioned some of the reasons why we feel o=a National Union have to cooperate with political party; but there are several other important reasons for our cooperation because the political party, having in mind the building of a future nation and lacking however in necessary staff for the consideration of all the questions that concern a Nation (social reorganization* economic planning, political framing and so on), it need the Students, and the Students feel it is their duty to contribute in these matters. For we conceive our struggle not only as a physical war against the Portuguese divisions in Mozambique, but rather a long struggle involving particularly the distruction of social, economic and political systems that brought about the subjugation of our people and which are not conducive to any appreciable progress. If the Students were to leave the matters of the revolution exclusively to the politican who may sometimes be motivated by other consideration of political power and its influence, thus disregarding the immediate needs of the masses, Students would be a.'complices in the crime against society. We feel that it is a duty of the students to cooperate with the political party, especially if the party is trul y representative of the masses and all progressive forces of the nation, for they can function within the party, as has already been said, as the sensitive an then of a socity and thus prevent the corruption and forgetfulness of the politicians.

MozPumhio 1 8 1 4 0 — f895 Q .U e ^ a n a UNIVERSITY of ZIMBABWE MUYersity ARCHIVES 178 NOTES ON THE INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF THE GAZA KINGDOM OF SOUTHERN MOZAMBIQUE 1840-1895 by GERHARD LIESEGANG 1 The state of the Gaza Nguni vaa a complex social formation with a dominant society in the centre and societies which were dominated to various degrees on the periphery. The political and cultural impact of the Nguni was strongest near the capital (and in the south) and faint near the borders. Succession, m arriage, bridepi^ce etc. differed among the dominated societies and reflected ethnic traditions adapted to local conditions (e. g. in those areas where tripanosomiasis was prevalent there could be no brideprice in cattle). Social relations in the areas where the dominant group lived were characterized by the presence of distinct social strata and a large number of captives in the process of distribution and incorporation into the dominant society. Any description of the Gaza political and social system has to take this complexity into account. The central Gaza society was socially stra ified and so were the nearly autonomous chieftainships near the borders. To some extent this was a colonial situation and it is not surprising that some Shona historians, perhaps following nationalist oial tradition, have tended to deny or minimize Gaza 3 influence near Zimbabwe's eastern borders. It seems that by the 1890's the domination of the centre was justi­ fied by the ruling strata in term s of ethnic superiority and the superior 4 quality of the Nguni military system , as well as by previous m ilitary conquest and submission .of the local populations, e.

Colonialism, socialist post colonialism and the present capitalist period appear to annul each other in succession through a chain of successive acts of overcoming. This paper argues that this gives rise to a number of incongruities, for it hides the way in which social persons are linked to historical processes via their primary solidarities. The past and the present are constantly being re-mixed into conglomerates of experience, where each component becomes largely indissociable from the others. The past and the present constantly visit each other in human experience. It is argued that only thus can one make sense of the claims to elite status that are witnessed today. 1 Institute of Social Sciences,University of Lisbon,October 2004.

  • Territory Spatio-Historical Approaches to State Formation
    2 Territory Spatio-Historical Approaches to State Formation Every human society has some sort of territorial structure. … In studying political organization, we have to deal with the maintenance or establishment of social order, within a territorial framework, by the organized exercise of coercive authority through the use, or the possibility of use, of physical force. A. R. Radcliffe-Brown (1955 [1940]: xiv) What does the notion of territory entail for state formation? As Elden (2013) has made clear in his recent genealogy of territory, it may be seen as a spatial extension of state power. While Elden’s point is crucial, in this chapter I will entertain the idea that the colonial state form is not different in its key dynamics from later state forms, as well as cer- tain African polities, and in this way the chapter challenges the idea of the colonial state as radically different from earlier or later state forms. While basing myself on information from Manica Province, the empiri- cal material expands beyond these demarcations and involves also cru- cial elements from the greater Shona-speaking area, Southern Rhodesia and Zimbabwe, Malawi, South Africa, and other areas. Manica Province is, thus, part of a much larger political fi eld. Theoretically, of course, there is a long-standing interest in a territo- rial approach to past and present formations of state. As, for example, Foucault (2007 [2004]: 96]) argues, sovereignty is exercised on a terri- Berghahn Open Access Edition- Not for Resale Territory 57 tory and, consequently, on its inhabitants. In the characteristic manner of the Foucauldian genealogy, this notion of territory is integral to a for- mative triangular order that also comprises security and population— an order crucial to his overall analysis of biopower and the state form.

Using the documental archive sources on the Sofala coast we highlight the specifcity of the interaction between the Portuguese and the local communities, the importance of the “non-ofcial” strategies used by the Portuguese in order to be accepted by the local chieftaincies, the impact of their integration into the local and regional networks and how their atitude formed new geographies of power in the area, while exposing political, economic, social, cultural and religious dichotomies. Focusing our atention on these aspects we make new contributions to the analysis of the Sofala region in the 16th century for a beter understanding of its role in the African and Indian Ocean trading networks in the Portuguese empire, mostly based in informal economic and political control and thus prety close to the concept of "shadow empire". keywords: Portuguese Expansion, “Shadow empire”, Intercontinental trading networks, Sofala, Mozambique, Indian Ocean E-Book’IS • Fluid Networks and Hegemonic Powers in the Western Indian Ocean • 2017 Ana Cristina Roque 21 When arriving in the Indian Ocean in the early 16th century, the Portuguese were confronted with an important intercontinental trade network dominated by Muslim merchants.

  • O Passado E O Presente Literário De Ungulani Ba Ka Khosa Gungunhana
    Gungunhana: o passado e o presente literário de Ungulani Ba Ka Khosa Gungunhana: the literary past and present of Ungulani Ba Ka Khosa Adilson Fernando Franzin* Resumo: O passado e o presente literário de Ungulani Ba Ka Khosa se unem em Gungunhana, pois esta obra, publicada em 2018, é composta pelo romance Ualalapi, originalmente lançado em 1987, e por uma segunda seção na qual se encontra a narrativa inédita de As Mulheres do Imperador, reconstrução ficcional de um silenciado universo feminino que integrou o Império de Gaza, em fins do século XIX. Ao presente estudo impõe-se o desejo de compreender como o escritor moçambicano – munido de saberes socioculturais notáveis e transitando nos limites entre ficção e história – esteticamente recompôs as subjetividades femininas em As Mulheres do Imperador, as quais tiveram não apenas que criar estratégias de sobrevivência durante os quinze anos de exílio, mas também ressignificar suas vidas no retorno ao solo de Moçambique, em 1911. Palavras-Chave: Ungulani Ba Ka Khosa; Gungunhana; Ualalapi; As mulheres do imperador, Literatura Moçambicana; Abstract: Ungulani Ba Ka Khosa's past and literary present unite in Gungunhana, as this work, published in 2018, is composed of the novel Ualalapi, originally released in 1987, and a second section in which is the unpublished narrative of As Mulheres do Imperador, fictional reconstruction of a muted female universe that integrated the Gaza Empire in the late nineteenth century. The present study imposes the desire to understand how the Mozambican writer - armed with remarkable socio-cultural knowledge and transcending the boundaries between fiction and history - aesthetically recomposed the feminine subjectivities in The Emperor's Women, which not only had to create survival strategies during the fifteen years of exile, but also to re-signify their lives in the return to the soil of Mozambique in 1911.
