Government past and present

I think this is an interesting mix of photos. At top, you have the colonial and current central government office building. The bureaucracy seems to have exploded and now fills many buildings across the city. Next, is a memorial to Portuguese soldiers from Mozambique who died in WWI and WWII, an interesting sign of respect of the colonial heritage. At bottom is the ruined house of the man who was in charge of suppressing resistance during the war of independence.
