I flew into Beira ten years ago. At the airport there are still marks from bullet strikes in the walls and a runway was still closed from shell craters. The inside of the terminal was pure early 1970's decor.
Some of the best Cape buffalo hunting in the world lies between Beira and the Zambezi river. The Marromeu swamp is low lying coastal flood plains teaming with game. The few people who live there are bushmen in grass huts. A reasonable assumption is that the cyclone will certainly not help the game, but is going to be devastating to desperately poor people living there. The reality of Africa can be brutal.

I think that most Africans would be better off if they had become semi-autonomous European Colonies instead of fully independent Countries. Angola and Mozambique might have been the exception, since Portugal is probably the poorest western European Country and didn't put much money back into them.

Except when Mozambique went independent after the civil war it had the best RR system in all of Africa but had no clue as to how to run and service a RR after expelling all the Civil servants and in 4 years it was a disaster. Just saying. Cheers NC

Maybe the Chinese will help them out and that will give them a good start toward their colonization of Africa.
Unfortunately that train has already left the station. It's my opinion that by 2050 most of sub-Saharan Africa will be a de facto Chinese colony.

There are around 1.4 billion Chinese and 1.3 billion Indians. about 36% of the World population, who need land to spread out on and bring civilization to the wilderness.
The Chinese and Indian version of Lebensraum is likely to make European colonization in the 19th and 20th Centuries look great in retrospect.

+1 I think they are after mineral wealth, not being a welfare colonizer. Their tactic is simple, indebt the country then rape and pillage the mineral wealth, and their commerce.
It is better to be judged by 12 than to be carried by 6.

According to Netflix the Chinese are there to save the Africans from evil Western mercenaries.
