If you missed the recent Aquino de Braganca book release, please check this blog, which has details about the person to whom this work is dedicated, the book itself and snippets from the launch function: http://aquinobraganca.wordpress.com/
Aquino's widow, Silvia, shared with me a whole lot of photographs and documents of historic value (including PIDE* comments on his activities), which has been made accessible in cyberspace. Mozambique-Net [http://www.mozambiquehistory.net/aquino.html] has this comment to make: "A blog in Portuguese and English entitled «Remembering Aquino» can be found here [http://aquinobraganca.wordpress.com/] .... Also of great interest is a page of photographs and facsimiles, available here [http://www.flickr.com/photos/fn-goa/sets/72157616169063125/]."; A description: "Aquino de Bragança was an important intellectual and political figure in the years leading up to and immediately following Mozambican independence. As a journalist, an academic and a public intellectual he engaged passionately with the issues of his time, and as a confidante of President Samora Machel and a frequent envoy of the Mozambican government, he translated his convictions into action, eventually losing his life alongside Samora in the service of the liberation of southern Africa. "He was an active journalist, writing for such publications as the progressive Afrique-Asie [Paris] and Révolution Africaine [Algiers]. "When the MFA overthrew the Caetano regime in Portugal on 25 April 1974, as Aquino relates in the article ‘Independência sem descolonização: a transferência do poder em Moçambique, 1974-1975’ [see below], he was the person that Frelimo turned to, sending him to Lisbon to evaluate the volatile situation."
