The President of Mozambique Filipe Jacinto Nyusi is due in Uganda next week on Wednesday, April, 27 for a three-day state visit at the invitation of President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni.
Nyusi who is also the current leader of FRELIMO, the party that has governed Mozambique since its independence from Portugal in 1975 will be accompanied by the First Lady of Mozambique Isaura Nyusi and a
government delegation.
President Filipe Nyusi and his wife Isaura Nyusi will visit several places of mutual interest and will later be hosted by President Museveni and the First Lady Janet Kataaha Museveni at State House Entebbe.
This is Nyusi’s return visit following President Yoweri Museveni’s three-day visit to Mozambique in May 2018 during which he visited the legendary Montepuez Barracks where he led 28 FRONASA youth in training in 1976.
Museveni’s trip to Mozambique was partly to thank the Mozambique Liberation Front (FRELIMO) for their role in the liberation movements across the continent.
FRELIMO helped shape Uganda’s Front for National Salvation (FRONASA), which was part of the foundation of Uganda’s National Liberation Army (UNLA), National Resistance Army (NRA), and later the UPDF.
During the visit President Museveni was accompanied then by the three remaining survivors from the group of 28 freedom fighters he led to Mozambique.
They are Gen Caleb Akandwanaho aka Salim Saleh, Lt Gen Ivan Koreta and Col Bosco Omule.
