Abstract

The history of Mozambique is markedly military. In just under fifty years of independence, Mozambique has experienced several military conflicts. These conflicts gave rise to fighters recognized by the state for their contribution to the liberation of the country. By law, combatants enjoy a special and are entitled to social benefits. However, the reintegration process is still incomplete and combined with this are complaints about the granting of subsidies and other benefits to combatants. The combatants concerns are diverse, starting from the payment of pensions, technical training in matters of entrepreneurship or the development of economic integration projects. Despite the efforts made by the govermment to minimize reintegration problems combatants, there is no materialization of them. Despite that fact that in the recent past, at the end of 2014, the peace and national reconciliation found was created, however, there are no tangible results after years of opening up projects for the economic reintegration of combatants. This work seeks to bring to light the history of socio-economic reintegration combined with the policies that were implemented to progress this process, in a period that goes from 1986 to 2015. The study further argues that. Combatants are a heterogeneous group that can be disaggregated by gender and age, level of school education and insulin patent these categories call into question narratives of victimization of combatants as a group marginalized by the government.
