studies going to help us to clean color so that it becomes the traditional source of energy that it has always been the conversations about under around the continent of africa con, nevermind. but the time now is to take a break to you after that break. as we continue to talk about the mazda continent, the continent of africa, the history now can funds. that's portugal, what the fuss european country, to start the a be up or slavery on colonize ation. anxiety as the

14 through to the 15th century, the portuguese explorer, as well ready moving out of lisbon to survey different parts of the continental box . if there was any job. the presence of several federal house, which was the laws designed by the portuguese to claim $33.00 to be found in different parts of africa. and you will note that as you move through the cost or 5 or western africa, up to the eastern part where you find one human side just for jesus, you see the footprints of the portuguese and the activities of individuals such as glasgow duck, gum, and francisco do you have made slavery of costs with the very fast engagement with african chines? and it is important to note that although some historians met the claim that offer

consumes. why involve this liberty? it must not be lost to us, that the engagement was under duress, us, and the differential these i, me, as it was then constituted, didn't compelled them to engage in activities which then led to modern day slavery . and after slavery had started in honest, it must also be understood that portugal as well as spain for some reason, had great sway on the prophecy. on that time, the prophecy base in rome was very powerful and didn't, did divide the world for purposes. so survey between portugal on space, but let us focus on the portuguese activities in the continent of africa. they started in a site just because of that of that or what is known in the august side from us get better. and what happened in that area is that the portuguese invaded

and in many ways dominated the communities the through colonized issues from couples that day they moved into getting a piece out in the western part of africa. and in starting areas, they built them one humans, but did not quite establish themselves as colonized as what they did was to use the basis for purposes of collecting slaves on taking them to lot in a mexico south america, particularly in but it has been, it is not lost on us that inside one of the largest, not populations to be found installed in america is to be found in the but as the where the domain on language, as we know is portuguese. they then move to an goal. and then on going out this thought best one of the most important qualities. and of course, continued with the acquisition of many things,

including active folks which had been created by the us with and populations at the time. and all of these were taken police bonds as they moved to on board. they moved across the of the fiber of africa and found themselves in what is present date was a mix of costs vs dollar. the, the initial motivation for the, for, to be the explorations was to find spice in different parts of the water, particularly in india. well, we know that they established kingdom all established themselves in a box in east africa. they did indeed arrive and established the quarterly in mozambique in the east coast of africa. it is instructive that the present for some time and when you visit the cost of $5.00, of course the city of moon bus, the force of jesus remains. as i'm one you meant to put your gaze establishment

in that area. ultimately they did not the sector in that part of the world and did not the color and eyes, but they ended up being very present in terms of the activities. and in terms of the money meant that they've built, the federal gaze was very interesting. and i think somewhat of my show or was, i'm beat. it has described them in a very unique way, size that of all the corner. and isaac powers, the worst of them even in europe was portugal. but for some reason, because people is the total or c based countries, she succeeded in engaging in exploration very on the on, on this side of the colonized vision, when they translated from slavery in 2 colonized, vision was very unique. they identified a small lady. and this small, it was main to engage in activities that converted them into 4 to these,

including the naming. not that this was unique to flexible, but it is important to understand that individuals what been identified by the, for each of these was in the can to lose bond on wednesday. why it lives? wonder why induct the unmade of think that they will put your gaze, and there is no shortage of sight individuals who late of cause participated in the struggle for independence. it is instructive that the portuguese on life colonizers, i to the british on plus up and extend the french until a limited extent, the germans, because they did not stay for a long time as color noises did not engage in the development of the $33.00 is that they all supplied and this is evident event today, apart from couple bad day which in there isn't 1st developed in different areas of visit to getting there be saw was demonstrates that to be on the point of getting a be so very litter was done in terms of education in terms of the health

infrastructure. this is also evident. young wallet is only a smaller population that was privileged, and that was made to benefit from the laws. yes. all the portuguese. otherwise, intel, on the as the do i know a ways to talk about do i know what roads to talk about? and they used the low cause to ensure that whatever they wanted from the hinterland, what then brought to this shows as one would see and i'm going to with the one day and i'm going to which has to be know was named will cell phone to did one simple open one and when one crosses mozambique and it is important today that when we talk about my photo, we forget that it was actually known as loading komatt case named by the british inductor good. and when they moved into mozambique one sub game one, see the be a constant pression was in them up for though you number for law. and in bill is

close to areas with very limited activity. these signed to improve a group cost or design to improve else on the portuguese came to sector in the area that they were up prison. there is a sense in with the portuguese, and they did not intend to leave. you see this in may be so you say these in a couple that the and as of so go said and i'm going to and in was them be and that is why portuguese color, nice vision was 5 the most pernicious. so the, when the struggle for liberation of africa commenced in honest, and when what was described as the window change, that's the taking on many european colonizers took the queue, and what beginning to lift the goal of the color is the same, was not true of what a bunch of goal stock to the coloring is on one can understand why is

a small country in europe, not a major power outside of the expiration. but the is a power that defend it very much, even in terms of it's, it cannot make well being from the colonies. what's your goal is portugal because of what she was driving from. i called her knees in africa and elsewhere. and they did not want to let go. it is also instructive that we've been portugal itself. don't. munitions was, are not speckled with incomes different political powers or political play as one thing to dominate with. the consequence, that point to go was not that piece and was led by dictators. so that when everybody else was struggling through the gain, independence postal goal was not interested in the granting independence or started entering through this struggle. and when one looks at the portuguese quarterly,

they became the most violent. and most of the leaders of the struggle for independence in point to go. why then up to the been communist because they are done through the soviet union. this is true of middle covered on in getting a this out on capital vendor. and we note that the struggle against the portuguese was solely incense with the consequences as we know the push of genetic b. so what's to be granted? the independence, much laid out of a struggle, which then follows the negotiations. the thing the ultimately to the death of, i mean cover on who was assassinated in getting a in the corner in, on going to the same was true in terms of the individuals who then rose. and it is not lost on me that the leader at that time, who am i and who was then of cost or the certified to of the government is was august the no net. net though m i d was educated in portugal became apply. it was

a medical doctor himself and he engaged in a struggle which is very well documented, the m p a. and ultimately we know that the medicines also inducted drug, ahold then roberto, who was based in congo at that time to in many ways, neutralize. well. net to who are seen as a comment is under of cost of we also know that your enough money a list of, in be with the will need the was also introduced into the fray. but once again, we know that there was a veritable struggle and is instructive, that the parties themselves why involved in a lot of struggles which culminated in a meeting which was held in kenya in 1975. we've been led to the independence of uncle mozambique was, was difficult. mozambique was difficult because the most i'm big gun struggle for

some reason was i'm because the dialing of the portuguese and they did not want to leave by the time that they were leaving. it was because of us fargo that had been mounted by freely feeling was we know, had made j important leaders. why you ned zion in thumbs and the headquarters initially. and what a good range tons and the then move to the south koreans on via. and we now know that the founding, the lead time into i don't want lane was the victim of a lift up on which was sent to him in dash and t. so come to the injuries, leaving the field for one of the greatest freedom fighters against portuguese. some more, a moist my shed, who then led the freedom fight and led to the expulsion of the portuguese. but he is important to note that there was things also happening within the domestic arena in portugal, which actually led to the ultimate southern end of the portuguese. i gave the

freedom fighting movement for a long time during the 1950 is 1906 is the portuguese big step, a sheep led by myself. okay. it's donald, i've actually picked in about the big one not going to allow the colonized territories in africa to be independent. it was only in 1900 on 7th default when there was a code the top which remove the most say look, i tunnel government and brought in the administration of ones don't. it's been all this been not, administration said we are not going to continue to engage and this was the leading flight to go on. therefore, we are going to begin to let go a couple of at the let go united be so let go and go a let go mozambique. and ultimately, the portuguese colony is widely validated from portugal. that was a lot done on the spanish,

just colonizer who did not do much to develop the country. that's why there was interested in because she herself, was a backwater you'll see in the country with the very weak economy and was capable of assigned sustaining ourself and indeed sustaining. huh. yeah, economies, the economies of color, nice people, history records that flexible was indeed one of the was colonizers running from slavery. this failing of active folks on the destination of local populations and making sure that the along with portugal was done, the not terrible colonized. blood sugar was we uh, in that tape plantations in the model. and we say good bye. as we continue the conversations around africa the
