Mozambique formally takes control of Cahora Bassa

Mozambique on Tuesday formally took over from Portugal the control of Cahora Bassa hydroelectric dam, Africa’s second most important after that of Aswan in Egypt. ”The control of the dam signifies for us the elimination of the last vestiges of European colonialism in Africa,” Mozambican President Armando Guebuza said before a crowd of 10 000 people.
