Chissano's job was very difficult due to the fact that he took power right after the Mozambican civil war, there were a great lack of infrastructures schools, hospitals,etc..
He is also remembered and respected because he lead a democratic governance in his country, and after his third turn decided to "retire" and allow others to lead as welll....
