Angoche Island

Angoche is a small continental island in the territory of the same city Angoche in Mozambique. The main source of income was in the shipping of slaves, which helped the noble layers of Nyapakho clan to wealth. The island was not conquered by the Portuguese until 1913, which is due to the brave resistance of the Sultan, particularly Ibrahim Yusuf. His nephew, the commander of a 30,000 -strong army took power and fought with tenacity from the Portuguese until 1890. From then on, the last Sultan, the war against the Portuguese took Farlah back on until he was captured in a battle in 1910 and brought to East Timor, where he died in prison. The small island is haunted by cyclones; especially at the cyclone Huda is still remembered. Thus not have been possible a permanent settlement.
