Marcelino dos Santos, born on this day in 1929, was a Mozambican poet, revolutionary, and politician who co-founded the Frente de Libertação de Moçambique (FRELIMO-Mozambican Liberation Front) in 1962. Santos served as the party's deputy president from 1969 to 1977.

After Mozambique won its independence, Santos served in its government in a variety of capacities over the next several decades: as Minister of Economic Development, Chairman of the country's parliament, the Assembly of the Republic, and, towards the end of his life, a member of the Frelimo Central Committee.

Under the pseudonyms Kalungano and Lilinho Micaia, he published his early poems in "O Brado Africano". Under his real name, the Associação dos Escritores Moçambicanos (Mozambican Writers' Association) published his work "Canto do Amor Natural".

      It was a FuckYourselfEndless post saying scene girls they begged for on here were leaving FYE for each other because FYE was trying to two-time them all at the same time out of greed. I guess it was farther than 2 months ago because I can't find it anymore.
