An international team of scientists and explorers, lead by Dr Julian Bayliss, go on an extraordinary mission in Mozambique to reach a forest that no human has set foot in. The team, including some of the world’s foremost climate change experts, aims to collect data from the forest to help in our understanding of how climate change is affecting our planet. But the forest sits atop a mountain, and to reach it, the team must first climb a sheer 100m wall of rock. The scientists’ work is based on research conducted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007.

In 1992, one of Africa’s most brutal civil wars came to an end in Mozambique. This war was being waged against the ruling Frelimo party by a rebel group, called the Mozambican National Resistance, commonly know as Renamo. Renamo was created by then white-monority govenrment of Rhodesia and then nurtured by apartheid South Africa.. An RENAMO’s sole purpose was to cause instability for Samora Machel and his Frelimo party.
For 39 years, Renamo was led by the notorious rebel turned opposition leader, Afonso Dhlakama until his death in 2018. Dhlakama led Renamo as it successfully transformed itself into an efficient guerrilla army that fought in this 16-year-war.
During Afonso Dhlakama and Renamo’s bid to wreak havoc in Mozambique, they resorted to brutal tactics such as burning cooperative farms, destroying bridges, railway lines and recruiting child soldiers. Inevitably the war became one of the most brutal in Africa, leaving an estimated 1 million dead and displacing millions more.
By this stage, Mozambique, by almost any standards, was one of the poorest countries in Africa and the world at this.
In this episode of African Biographics, we cover the story of the notorious rebel Afonso Dhlakama and the rebel-group turned political party Renamo, and how they contributed to chaos in Mozambique, even after the devastating civil-war had come to an end.
