OPENING DEMOCRATIC SPACES IN RURAL MOZAMBIQUE

Abstract

During almost 30 years until 1992, two protracted wars provoked the massive dislocation of rural Mozambicans. During the 1980s, approximately four million people fled to zones of relative safety inside the country. Around two million more moved to neighboring countries. In the 1990s, the Mozambican government with the support of international donors faced the enormous problem of helping this population, between 40 and 50% of the total, resettle in their homelands.
