The little history of Cabo Delgado province
The
Province of Cabo Delgado is located in the northern region of the country,
positioned between the border regions of 10° 29'12"N and 14°01'00"S
latitude, and 40°35'50"E and 35°58'00"W longitude. It covers an area
of 82,625 km², corresponding to 10.34% of the national territory, with about
4,760 km² of inland waters.
Its
boundaries are: to the north, the Rovuma River, which serves as a natural
border with the United Republic of Tanzania, stretching approximately 250 km;
to the south, the Lúrio River; to the west, the rivers Lugenda, Luambeze,
Ruaca, and Mewo, which separate it from the Niassa Province; and to the east,
the Indian Ocean, which washes the entire eastern coast for a stretch of 430
km. It is a great place for investments in agriculture, fishing, animal
husbandry, and mineral resources.
