- Title
Galo amanheceu em Lourenço Marques: O 7 de Setembro e o verso da descolonização de Moçambique.

MACHAVA, BENEDITO
- Abstract
This article describes and analyses the emergence of an African resistance group during the settler uprising of 7th September 1974 in Lourenco Marques. It examines the trajectory of the African urban elites that led the resistance (the so‑called Galo, or ‘cock', group) and the development of a markedly moderate political imagination, due to the specific circumstances of the urban area in which they had always operated. They played a determining role in protecting African populations against the terrorism of the insurgents and in the recovery of the Mozambique Radio Club, thereby preventing the escalation of violence in Lourenco Marques.
