An anonymous user changed the date 'On September 25, 1964, Frelimo solders, with logistical assistance from the surrounding population, attacked the administrative post at Chai in the province of Cabo Delgado' to 'On September 25, 1965, Frelimo solders, with logistical assistance from the surrounding population, attacked the administrative post at Chai in the province of Cabo Delgado .' Is this correct? Greenman 21:15, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
I want someone to cite credible sources for RENAMO's alleged widespread use of child soldiers, a concerted campaign against civilians, and a more balanced view of FRELIMO's own misdeeds. The section on RENAMO seems biased and whitewashes FRELIMO. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.111.29.1 ( talk) 21:59, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

I expanded the article and added some sources. However, there are still some sections which need better sourcing in my opinion. The information about the PCN stems from the article about Uria Simango. Unfortunately this article does not contain detailed sources. I will add the sources about the Rhodesian operations in Mozambique soon, just need to read some of the stuff provided in the Rhodesian Bush War article. By the way, simply "recycled" the maps from that article, because they seemed fitting. I hope this is ok with guidelines, I could not find anything about it.
The section about the Angolan Civil War seemed to me mainstreamy enough to not being in need of addtional sourcing but the corresponding sources can surely be found in the article about the Angolan Civil War.
What else...
Terminology: I used the terms "black"/"white" in the section about the Apartheid related conflicts. As I don't know which terminology is typically used in the African context, this seemed easiest to me, as "Native-Africans" is e.g. a term that applies for many whites in Africa too, especially for the Boers who have been araound for some 400 years. So things would get complicated here and I actually could not be bothered to use something like "Africans-of-European-Descent" (which strictly speaking still wouldn't be correct, since most Boers have some black ancestors). I think the "black/white" terminology is justified here, as this terminology surely describes best, how the conflict was perceived by the actors themselves (hence i.e. "Black Consciousness"). However, if there is a convention on terminology here that I am not aware of, please just change it.
And could please someone correct the article in terms of grammar and spelling? I try to do my best, but am not a native speaker, so there are surely errors.
Kindly,

I've removed the Cold War section because it was unnecessary and misleading. FRELIMO maintained good relations with the West; RENAMO only had support from South Africa and Rhodesia, though they tried and failed to gain US backing (there was a RENAMO lobby in Washington that enjoyed the support of Jesse Helms and Bob Dole, but they were never successful in convincing Reagan). No real need to insert a Cold War context when it was almost non-existent; but if it must be mentioned, then it should be done properly. This would be a good place to start: http://books.google.ro/books?id=14YWKklpbTEC&pg=PA193#v=onepage&q&f=false — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.120.227.59 ( talk) 09:00, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Mozambican Civil War's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 21:11, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Dear Arramall, are you aware that you edits are giving a strong Frelimo party point of view to an article that was supposed to be encyclopedically as neutral as possible? You even use the word "bandits" to describe Renamo fighters, something that even the current government of Mozambique does not do. Wikipedia should not be another department of the Party, or Notícias, TVM, etc. Teixant ( talk) 19:57, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
It is my understanding that much of the wildlife populations were reduced from thousands to literally handfuls, single digits. Can this be added? 70.27.65.223 ( talk) 17:09, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
