#1 There is a "Last of the Mozambicans" joke in there somewhere, but I am much too dignified to go rooting for it. Besides, I have no idea how to transliterate Chingachgook to Portuguese.

#2 Some saw it coming nearly 50 years ago.

NYT March 2, 1976 LISBON, Feb. 29—Portugal is receiving a new wave of refugees, this time from its formes East African colony of Mozambique.

Unlike the refugees from Angola, the Portuguese from Mozambique are not fleeing civil war but rather the rigors of independence.

For the past month, almost daily flights have brought refugees from Mozambique with litter tales of “persecution,” work camps and now the nationalization of property.

A new airlift that began last week to Windhoek in SouthWest Africa is expected to bring out more than 7,000 Portuguese fleeing continued unrest in southern Angola.

It is estimated that more than half a million refugees have fled the two former colonies to Portugal in the past year, and more are coming.
