About Mozambique

Mozambique stretches along the Indian Ocean coast of southeastern Africa, its shoreline dotted with coral islands, mangroves, and dhow-sailing traditions shaped by centuries of Swahili and Portuguese trade. The capital, Maputo, lies in the far south, known for its wide avenues and lively markets. Inland, the country rises toward high plateaus and the waters of Lake Niassa, which it shares with Malawi and Tanzania.

  • Mozambique's flag is the only national flag in the world to feature a modern assault rifle, an AK-47.
  • Mozambique is often cited as the only one-word country name in English that contains all five vowels.
  • Mozambique joined the Commonwealth in 1995 despite never having been a British colony, a first for the organisation.
