Abstract
With the haunting spectre of Angola as a backcloth where the UN was asked to undertake a mission on the ‘cheap’, under US pressure, the centre-piece of the Mozambican transition was undoubtedly the UN operation: ONUMOZ. While severe criticisms have been levelled at a number of ONUMOZ aspects, the operation achieved what was an initially daunting mandate and played a central role in the establishment of long-term peace and democratic rule in Mozambique.
Title of a local satire in Maputo.
