The Mozambican Civil War was a conflict that lasted from 1977 to 1992.

It was fought between the Mozambique Liberation Front (FRELIMO), which had ruled the country since its independence from Portugal in 1975, and the Mozambique National Resistance (RENAMO), a rebel group backed by the Rhodesian and South African governments.

The war caused widespread devastation and displacement, and led to the deaths of an estimated 1 million people.

The war began after RENAMO launched an insurgency against FRELIMO in 1977.

RENAMO was opposed to FRELIMO's socialist policies and its close ties to the Soviet Union.

The war quickly escalated, and by the early 1980s, RENAMO had control of much of the countryside.

FRELIMO was forced to rely on Soviet and Cuban military aid to keep RENAMO at bay.

In 1984, FRELIMO and RENAMO signed a peace agreement, but the fighting continued.

In 1992, the two sides signed a new peace agreement, which called for a ceasefire and the holding of multiparty elections.

Intambara yo hagati muri Mozambike yabaye indyane zamaze kuva 1977 gushika 1992.

Yari intambara ihuza umuhari uharanira ukwikurkira kwa Mozambike (FRELIMO), wari watwaye igihugu kuva kironse ukwikukira kuri Portugal mu 1975, n'umuhari w'igihugu wo kwigwanira (RENAMO), umuhari w'abagarariji wari ucumbikiwe na Rhodesia hamwe n'intwaro za Afirika y'epfo.

Iyo ntambara yatumye hose hasambuka n'abahunga, kandi ituma impfu zishika miliyoni 1 y'abantu.

Intambara yatanguye inyuma y'aho RENAMO itangurije imigumuko kuri FRELIMO in 1977.

RENAMO yari igwanya politike ya FRELIMO ingingo za gisocialist n'ubucuti bafitaniye n'ubumwe bw'aba soviet.

It was a bright and sunny day in the small village of Locksmiths, and the festival of locks was in full swing.

The streets were crowded with people, all eager to see the latest and greatest in lockmaking technology.

There were vendors selling everything from simple padlocks to complex combination locks, and artisans demonstrating their skills in lockpicking and locksmithing.

In the center of the village square, a large stage had been set up for the day's festivities.

A group of musicians were playing lively tunes, and a crowd of people were gathered around, clapping and dancing.

On the stage, a skilled locksmith was demonstrating how to pick a lock, and the crowd was mesmerized by his skill.

As the sun began to set, the festival came to a close.

My friend, Abel, and I were walking home from school one day when we saw a blood drive being held at our local community center.

We were both 17 years old, and we had never donated blood before.

We decided to stop in and see what it was all about.

The process of donating blood was actually pretty simple.

We both filled out a questionnaire and answered some questions about our health history.

Then, we had our blood pressure checked and our veins were checked to make sure they were big enough.

Once we were cleared to donate, we each sat down in a chair and had a needle inserted into our arms.

The blood was collected in a bag, and the whole process took about 15 minutes.

It felt good to know that we were helping to save lives.

After we donated, we were given a juice box and a cookie to help us recover.

We also received a thank-you card from the blood bank.

I'm glad that Abel and I decided to donate blood.

It was a quick and easy way to make a difference in the world.

I encourage everyone to consider donating blood if they are eligible.

It's a simple act of kindness that can help save lives.

A solo traveler was found safe after spending two nights lost in the Swiss Alps.

The 25-year-old woman, who has not been identified, was hiking in the mountains when she became separated from her group.

She was reported missing on Tuesday, and search teams were dispatched to find her.

The woman was eventually found on Thursday, about 10 miles from where she had been hiking.

She was cold and dehydrated, but otherwise in good condition.

She told rescuers that she had been following a trail when she got turned around.

She spent the night in a cave, and she survived by eating snow and drinking from a stream.

The woman's experience is a reminder of the importance of being prepared when hiking in the mountains.

Hikers should always bring a map, compass, and a flashlight, and they should tell someone where they are going and when they expect to return.

Umuntu yitemberana wenyene baramutoye akiri muzima inyuma yo kumara amajoro abiri yatakariye mu misozi y'amabuye my bu Swisse.

When I was a kid, I would spend hours pouring over magazines.

I would read every article, look at every picture, and cut out the ones I liked to put in my scrapbook.

I loved the way magazines could transport me to different worlds and make me think about things in new ways.

One day, I was reading an article about brain science in a magazine.

The article was really interesting, and it made me think about how my brain works.

I realized that I could use my brain to learn anything I wanted, and that was an amazing feeling.

I've been reading magazines ever since, and I still love the way they can open my mind to new ideas.

The debate about whether animals are happier in the wild or in zoos is a complex one with no easy answers.

There are many factors to consider, including the individual animal's needs, the type of zoo, and the quality of care provided.

Some animals, such as elephants, are highly social and need to interact with other elephants in order to thrive.

In the wild, elephants live in herds of up to 100 individuals.

They spend their days foraging for food, playing, and socializing.

In a zoo, elephants may not have the same opportunities to interact with other elephants, which can lead to boredom and frustration.

Other animals, such as lions, are solitary hunters.

In the wild, lions live in prides of up to 15 individuals.

However, each lion within the pride has its own territory and does not interact with other lions very often.

In a zoo, lions may be able to live in larger enclosures with more space to roam, which can provide them with more opportunities to exercise and explore.

The type of zoo also plays a role in the welfare of its animals.

Some zoos are very large and provide their animals with spacious enclosures, while others are smaller and may not have as much space.

As I'm driving down the road, I see a goat giving birth in the median.

She's lying on her side and her two front legs are extended in front of her.

The baby goat is coming out of her right side and it's head is already visible.

The mother goat looks up at me and I can see the fear in her eyes.

She's probably wondering if I'm going to hurt her or her baby.

I walk over to the goat and kneel down next to her.

I gently stroke her head and tell her that everything is going to be okay.

The baby goat starts to emerge and I can see that it's a little girl.

She's crying and her mother licks her clean.

I watch as the mother goat and baby bond and I feel a sense of peace.

The city was a vast, sprawling metropolis, full of life and energy.

It was a place where anything was possible, and where dreams could come true.

But for every person who found success in the city, there were many more who struggled to make ends meet.

These people lived in the slums, in tiny apartments that were often overcrowded and in disrepair.

They worked long hours for low pay, and they often had to go without basic necessities like food and healthcare.

One such person was a young woman named Amelia.

She had come to the city with big dreams, but she quickly found that reality was much different than she had imagined.

She worked as a waitress in a small diner, and she could barely make enough money to pay her rent.

She often went to bed hungry, and she was always worried about her future.

One day, Amelia was walking home from work when she saw a man sitting on a bench.

He was homeless, and he was holding a sign that said, "Will work for food." Amelia felt sorry for the man, and she decided to buy him a sandwich.

As she was talking to the man, she learned that his name was Charlie.

Igisagara cari kinini, giteyimbere impande zose, cuzuye ubuzima n'inkomezi.

Cari ikibanza aho ikintu cose cari gishoboka kandi aho indoto zashobora kuba zo.

Ntiyagira aho aba, kandi yarafise ikimenyetso kivuga, "Nzokorera indya". Amelia yumvira ikigongwe uwo mugabo ahitamwo kumugurira umukate.

Uko yariko aravugisha uwo mugabo, asanga izina ryiwe ni Charlie.


Demonetization is the process of removing legal tender from circulation.

In India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced on November 8, 2016, that all ₹500 and ₹1000 banknotes would cease to be legal tender from midnight.

This move was intended to crack down on corruption and counterfeiting, but it also caused significant disruption and hardship for many people.

There are several reasons to be skeptical of demonetization.

First, it is not clear that it will be effective in reducing corruption.

Corruption is a complex problem that cannot be solved simply by removing cash from circulation.

In fact, there is some evidence that demonetization may actually increase corruption, as it makes it more difficult for people to track and trace their money.

Second, demonetization is likely to have a negative impact on the poor.

Many poor people in India rely on cash for their daily transactions.

The sudden withdrawal of large-denomination banknotes made it difficult for them to buy food, pay their bills, and access other essential services.

Third, demonetization has caused significant disruption to the economy.

Businesses had to close for days or even weeks while they adjusted to the new currency.

Gukuraho amafranga ni urugendo rwo gukuraho amafranga ahanahanwa mu ntoki.

Mu Buhinde, Umushikiranganje wa mbere Narendra Modi yatangaje mu kwa cumi na kumwe italiki 8 muri 2016 ko inoti za 500 n'iza 1000 zo muri bank zizohagarikwa gukoreshwa kuva sasita z'ijoro.

Ibi vyari vyerekeye guhagarika ibiturire no kwigana inoti, ariko kandi vyatumye vyinshi bihomba n'ibibazo ku bantu benshi.

Hari impamvu myishi z'amakenga kuvyo guhagarika ivyo gukoresha inoti.

Ubwa mbere, ntibitomoye neza ko bizokunda mu kugabanya ibiturire.

Igiturire ni ikibazo kigoye kidashobora gukugwaho no guhagarika ikoreshwa ry'amafranga.

Ahubwo, ibi ni ibimenyetso ko guca ihanahana ry'amafranga mu ntoke ahubwo bishora kwongereza ibiturire, mu gihe vyoba bigoye abantu gukurikirana aho amafranga yabo yaciye.

Ubwa kabiri, guca ayo amafranga ni nk'ukugirira ingaruka mbi ku bakene.

Abakene benshi mu buhinde babeshwaho n'ihanahana ry'amafranga yabo ku musi.

Uguhagarika bukwi na bukwi ama noti menshi vyatumye batagishobora kugura ivyo barya, n'ukuronka ibindi vya nkenerwa.

Me: What's up with your car? It's been making a weird noise lately.

Uncle: Yeah, I know. I'm taking it to the mechanic tomorrow.

Uncle: It might be. The car is old, and parts are hard to come by. But I'm hoping it's just a minor issue.

Me: Well, good luck. Let me know what the mechanic says.

Me: Hey, by the way, did you know that nuclear cars are a thing?

Uncle: No, I didn't. That's interesting.

Me: Yeah, they're pretty cool. They use nuclear power to generate electricity, which powers the car's motor.

Uncle: That sounds like it would be really expensive.

Me: It can be, but it's also a lot more efficient than traditional cars. Nuclear cars can go for hundreds of miles on a single tank of fuel.

Uncle: Hmm, I'll have to look into that.

A man walks into a comedy club and orders a filet mignon.

The waiter brings him the steak and he starts to eat it.

After a few bites, he stops and says, "This steak is terrible! It's tough and tasteless."

The waiter replies, "Well, sir, you did order a filet mignon."

"Yes, but I didn't order a raw filet mignon!"

"Sir, all of our steaks are served raw. We require our customers to cook them themselves."

"That's not our problem. We're a comedy club, not a restaurant."

The man angrily gets up and storms out of the club.

Umugabo agiye mu mugwi gutwenza asaba file minyo.

Umuserveri amuzanira siteke aca atangura kuyirya.

Amaze kuyiryako, arahagarika aravuga, "Iyi steke ni mbi cane! Irakomeye kandi nta canga igira."

"Mushinganta, steke zacu zose tuzitanga zidatetse. Dusaba aba kiriya bacu ko bazitekera bonyene."

"Ico si ikibazo cacu. Turabakinyi b'ivyo gutwenza, nti turi uburiro."

He had been in a car accident, and he was unconscious.

His parents, who had been driving by when the accident happened, rushed to his side.

The paramedics arrived and loaded the boy into an ambulance.

His parents followed in their car, their hearts pounding with fear.

At the hospital, the doctors examined the boy and determined that he had a concussion and a broken leg.

They admitted him to the hospital and began treatment.

The boy's parents stayed by his side, never leaving him alone.

They watched over him as he slept, their hearts filled with love and hope.

"Royalty," said the Blacksmith, "is a curious thing. It's a kind of magic, really.

People get all worked up about it, and they don't even know why.

It's not as if kings and queens have any real power, these days. They're just figureheads.

They need someone to look up to, someone to represent the idea of the nation." The Blacksmith paused.

"I suppose it's a kind of comfort," he continued.

"To know that there's someone out there who's better than you.

Someone who can make the world a better place.

Of course, it's all an illusion. But that doesn't make it any less important.

People need their illusions. They need to believe in something.

And if that something is a king or a queen, then so be it."

The Blacksmith paused for a moment, then smiled.

"Blacksmith, yavuze ngo "ubwizigigwa" ni ikintu co kugirira urusaku. Ni nk'ikintu kidasanzwe, vy'ukuri.

Abantu bose baragiharanira, kandi ntibanazi impamvu.

Ni nk'aho abami n'abamikazibafise ububasha nyabwo, iyi misi. Bameze nk'ibishushanyo.

Bakeneye umuntu barabirako, umuntu aserukira iciyumvira c'igihugu. Blacksmith arahagarika.

"Nibaza ko ari nko kwiremesha," arakomeza.

Kumenya ko hariho umuntu aho hanze ameze neza kukurusha.

Umuntu ashobora guhindura isi ikaba ikibanza ciza.

Abantu barakeneye ukwihenda kwabo. Barakeneye kwizera ikintu.

Kandi niba ico kintu ari umwami canke umwamikazi, bibe uko nyene."

Blacksmith arahagarika gato, hama aratwenga.


Santiago, an old Cuban fisherman, has gone eighty-four days without catching a fish.

He is the oldest man in the village, and the youngest, Manolin, no longer wants to fish with him because the old man is unlucky.

One day, Santiago sets out in his skiff and hooks a giant marlin.

The marlin is so big that it pulls the skiff far out to sea.

Santiago fights the marlin for two days and nights, but he cannot bring it in.

The marlin is too heavy, and the old man is too tired.

Santiago is able to get a harpoon into the marlin, and he kills it.

But the marlin is so big that Santiago cannot bring it into the boat.

He ties the marlin to the side of the boat and begins to row back to shore.

A school of sharks follows the boat, and they begin to eat the marlin.

Santiago fights the sharks off, but he cannot stop them all.

By the time he reaches shore, only the head and the tail of the marlin are left.

Santiago, umusaza w'umurovyi w'umunya Cuba, yamaze imisi mirongo umunani n'ine ata fi n'imwe afashe.

Ni we musaza mukuru kugatumba, kandi umuto, Manolin, ntagishaka kurobana nawe kuko uwo musaza nta mahirwe agira.
