Abstract of Briefing

Title:	Samora Machel, 1986-2006
Author:	Phyllis Johnson
Location:	Vol.33 No.110 (December 2006), pp769-771

President Samora's death on 19 October 1986 cast a long shadow over southern Africa at a time when the region was locked in combat with the apartheid system of racial oppression in South Africa. Suddenly, overnight, the inspirational energy that he generated was gone, replaced by a sense of shock and deprivation. Deprived not only of President Samora's person and leadership, but that of others who had accompanied him to the Front Line States meeting in northern Zambia.
