Couldn't track the exact location or date of this photo, but chances are that it's either in Angola, Mozambique or Guinea-Bissau. Source: Expresso

was just thinking when were the last colonies dissolved, and was sorely mistaken. in my mind it was 50s to early 60s when most got independence (and some surely did), but alot of them did end in 70s.
