Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information

    Mozambique

    What is the capital of Mozambique?Mozambique - Essentials (bloomsby)

      Maputo. When Mozambique was under Portuguese rule, the city was called Lourenco Marques. The capital is situated in the extreme south of the country, near the borders with South Africa and Swaziland. Mombasa is in Kenya, Dar-es-Salaam in Tanzania and Brazzaville is the capital of the Republic of Congo - the former French colony, which should not be confused with the Democratic Republic of the Congo, formerly called Zaire.

    What is Mozambique's most important natural resource (apart from hydro-electric power)?Mozambique - Essentials (bloomsby)

      Natural gas. The discovery and exploitation of natural gas, which came on stream in 2002, offers the prospect of improved national income.

    What is approximate size of the country?Mozambique - Essentials (bloomsby)

      309,000 sq. miles. So it's nearly double the area of California or nearly 1.5 times the size of France.

    Off the coast of Mozambique lies the island of Madagascar (the Malagasy Republic). What is the name of the body of water separating the two? Mozambique - Essentials (bloomsby)

      Mozambique Channel. To the north and south of the Mozambique Channel, the coastline lies on the Indian Ocean. Note: the Comoros is a group of islands to the north-west of Madagascar.

    In which region of Africa is Mozambique?Mozambique - Essentials (bloomsby)

      Southern Africa. It's generally reckoned part of Southern Africa, though for a time in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries it was called Portuguese East Africa - by analogy with German East Africa (roughly modern Tanzania) and British East Africa (Kenya and Uganda). The Horn of Africa is much further north and consists of the region that juts out to the east near the Arabian Peninsula and consists of Ethiopia, Somalia, Eritrea and Djibouti.
