Description
The Wiriyamu Massacre An Oral History, 1960-1974 by Mustafah Dhada is a powerful and poignant account of one of Africa's darkest moments. This book brings to life the testimonies of those who survived the infamous Portuguese massacre in colonial Mozambique in 1972. Through 24 carefully curated interviews, the author sheds light on Portugal's last colonial war in Mozambique and the nationalist response that led to the tragedy. The survivors share their harrowing escape from Wiriyamu, while others recount their struggles to collect evidence and defend the truth about the killings in the international press. This oral history contextualizes the significance of its primary sources and reveals the meticulous methods used to gather and curate the testimonies. The Wiriyamu Massacre is a haunting story that exposes the darkness of European colonialism, genocide, and humanity's capacity for cruelty.
