VIDEOS OF EDUARDO MONDLANE
Eduardo Chivambo Mondlane (20 June
1920 – 3 February 1969) served as the founding President of the Mozambican
Liberation Front (FRELIMO) from 1962, the
year that FRELIMO was founded in Tanzania, until his assassination in 1969.
He was an anthropologist by profession but worked as a history and sociology
professor at Syracuse University.
In 1969, a bomb was planted in a book sent to him
at the FRELIMO Headquarters in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. It exploded when he
opened the package in the house of an American friend, Betty King, killing him. The assassination remains
unsolved.
Theories have been proposed that implicate
"Mondlane’s rivals inside FRELIMO, Tanzanian politicians, international
actors and the Portuguese secret service, especially Aginter Press, a clandestine Portuguese
anti-Communist organization." Former PIDE
Agent Oscar Cardoso claims that PIDE Agente Casimiro Monteiro planted the bomb that
killed Eduardo Mondlane.
