Inclusion of women

I edited this page to include a discussion of FRELIMO's ideology about women's emancipation as well as the role women played in the war of independence and the resulting transition of power from traditional authorities to revolutionary authorities. I also added a paragraph on FRELIMO's quota system. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Womeninhistory123 (talk • contribs) 13:59, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Move it?

Shouldn't this article be renamed FRELIMO? I've always heard of it under its abbreviation, rather than with its full name. Even in history books FRELIMO seems to be far preferred.--Aldux 21:29, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If nobody objects, I'll move the article to FRELIMO (or Frelimo) in the nexyt days.--Aldux 13:41, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, move it to FRELIMO. Like UNITA, it is better know by its acronym. Picaroon (t) 03:33, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Zambez1a (talk) 15:50, 15 July 2008 (UTC)zambez1a I have made some edits to the article to add links to the Rev. Uria Simango, who served as vice-president of Frelimo from its foundation right up until the death of its leader Mondlane, when he actually took over as president for 2 months.[reply]

I removed the reference to Simango (as opoosed to Mondlane,Machel,dos Santos) wanting to simply " replace a white elite by a black elite". Why?Both Simango and the "hardliners" Machel and dos Santos espoused some variant of socialist ideology. Simango can arguably be viewed as more "moderate" than Machel/dos Santos though; he was liquidated post-1975, after a typically Stalinist recantation and confession. He has in effect been written out of the history of the liberation movement. Nkavandame is a more complex figure, who defected to the Portuguese, unlike Simango. Without a more detailed analysis, it is not helpful to bracket him with Simango. Ditto grouping together the revered Mondlane with Machel and dos Santos, as opposed to Simango. Most Mozambican politicians, one way or another, wish to be perceived as heirs to Mondlane. This question would require scrupulous analysis, but the fact that Mondlane kept Simango as his deputy over the entire period 1962-1969, indicates that he was not too unhappy with the prospect.

Wrong flag

The flag in communist style that currently is depicted here, is the **OLD** FRELIMO flag. It is utterly wrong showing it here; either replace it by the current one (couldn't find one on FRELIMO's official homepage; only a description in Portguese ) or remove it altogether.

FRELIMO or Partido Frelimo (Frelimo Party)

There is a line of though that defends that the FRELIMO as Front of Liberation of Mozambique ended at the 3rd Congress in February 1977 and was replaced by the Partido Frelimo (not capitalized),a vanguard , Marxist-Leninist party. Accordingly, maybe the article "FRELIMO" should be split in two: one on the front, the other on the party. Teixant (talk) 22:05, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If one ended exactly when the other began, and their names are so similar, then the distinction will probably cause more confusion that it alleviates. My 2 cents' worth. Wegesrand (talk) 14:31, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Foreign Support

What is the merit of the section listing countries which have at one point in time in one way or another supported FRELIMO? It seems to me this should either be deleted, with the more important cases of foreign support integrated into the history (with proper citations) or expanded such that the ways in which "support" was rendered and when these events our red are clear; without this information the section is confusing and possibly misleading.
