Angoche Sultanate
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Angoche Sultanate was established in 1485 along an archipelago off the Northern Mozambique coastline. Centered on the cities of Angoche and Moma, the Sultanate also had a number of vassal territories surrounding them.[1] They were finally removed from power by the Portuguese colonial government in 1910.[2]
