This chrology for 2004 to 2013 compiles the chapters on Mozambique previously published in the Africa Yearbook. Politics, Ecomy and Society South of the Sahara. The country has over the years remained one of the poorest, and poverty is t declining. But the discovery of huge gas fields could bring changes by the mid 2020s. During the period under review, the sheen began to fade from Mozambique's status as a dor darling, as dors increasingly objected to corruption while government was angered by dor impositions and took an increasingly automous line. The former liberation movement Frelimo remains the predominant party and has won all national elections, while two presidents have stepped down after two terms. The main opposition party Renamo retains an armed wing launching small military actions. A second opposition party gained control of four cities. A younger and better-educated generation that remembers neither the liberation struggle r the 1982-92 civil war is beginning to challenge the established leadership.
