Mozambiquan Election


That there was an election going on in Mozambique was something that was clear after my first 10 minutes in the country. The vote is happening on October 28th, but already both Frelimo (the ruling party) and Renamo (the conservative party which was set up by the Rhodesian Government and funded South Africa in the 1980's) are having large, colourful marches through the streets. Posters and stickers are everywhere. I was apprehensive about taking too many photos of them, but here are a couple from a Renamo parade entering the Ilha de Mozambique on the 16th of December.



From what I could see, Frelimo was much better represented.
