Samora Machel interview / Samora Machel interview:
Samora Machel talks about Renamo in an interview by French journalists.
Renamo emerged in 1976 from an initiative described by Samora Machel in this video as “Counterrevolution” Initially Renamo was financed by the neighboring country, Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), ruled, at that time, by a white minority that aimed to destabilize Mozambique, this it was the period of Ian Smith's rule. According to William Minter (1994, p. 7) mentioned in Macagno (2009) it is already a fact that Renamo was founded by the Rhodesian regime, Renamo started as a small group at that time called armed bandits, over the years Renamo it became a powerful military force.
The MNR mentioned by Samora Machel in the video above is an acronym that means, "Mozambique National Resistance" which in Portuguese would be National Resistance of Mozambique, that was Renamo's initial name.
After the end of Ian Smith's regime and the proclamation of Zimbabwe's independence in 1980, many international political analysts wondered how a political force as unpopular as Renamo was able to stand firm even after the end of Ian's regime. Smith, shortly afterwards it was discovered that Renamo guerrillas were supported by the South African government. There are sources that also indicate that Renamo had support from the Portuguese, alias Samora Machel makes this statement in the video above "This Renamo has its capital in Lisbon"
R. Joseph Parrott (1973) In his film made during the Liberation war, he states that the Portuguese believed that the Frelimo government was only going to last a few months so that during the liberation war, the Portuguese government attacked many civilians to do with that people believe that life was better under Portuguese rule, so if the Portuguese supported Renamo this may have been the thread of thought used, destabilizing Mozambique to destroy Frelimo's credibility.
Negotiations for a peace agreement between Frelimo and Renamo began in 1990 in Rome and continued until 1992, when Joaquim Chissano and Afonso Dhlakama finally signed the General Peace Agreement, ending one of Africa's bloodiest civil wars. .
