The End of Marxist Ideology
Despite his inspiration in the Communist bloc countries, Chissano was not a hard-line Marxist and retreated from the traditional ideology with the collapse of the Soviet Union. A revised Constitution adopted in 1990 introduced the multiparty system putting an end to the single-party rule. After the Rome General Peace Accords that put an end to the Mozambican Civil War (1976–1992), the Mozambican ruling regime called for democratic, multi-party elections in 1994. FRELIMO won the first elections with a large majority of the votes. In addition, the imperative of expunging all trace of socialist influence has compelled FRELIMO to rework official memories of the Mozambican War of Independence, a revision that has accelerated the slide of an already heavily mythologized official history.
