Last Colony?, The / Integration in Action?: Farmers in Niassa
- Synopsis
- Part of a series exploring ways of resolving conflicts across Africa.
1: For over 20 years the territory of Western Sahara has been embroiled in conflict, as Morocco has fought the Polisario Front’s movement to gain independence in the region. The United Nations has called for a referendum to resolve the conflict but nothing has happened yet. Meanwhile, the future of the Saharawi people, living in exile in refugee camps in Algeria and hoping to return to their homeland, remains uncertain.
2: White Afrikaner farm families are moving north to Niassa, the poorest province in Mozambique. They bring with them a different language and culture, causing fear and suspicion among peasant farmers in the region. In this film, two farmers - one a white Afrikaner, the other a Mozambican villager - meet to discuss how they can live together in an integrated society which benefits them both. - Series
