Mozambique certainly was no paradise after the end Portuguese colonialism. A 20 year civil war and various diseases like malaria and AIDS turned it into the poorest country in the world. Even now it's a socialist one-party state, ruled by law of regional commissioners. Lately it has recovered to show some economic growth, but is still desperately poor, and social structures non-existent outsdie of the capital city. I wonder how much Mother Theresa contributes to her former home country.
