There is currently an ongoing insurgency in Mocambique so extremely stable is by African standards only. But having China starting to mess with African dictators is actually kind of awesome news. China is completely heartless when dealing with Africa and are building a very bad reputation among the average population as they bring in their own work force for infrastructure development and mining while contributing a minimum to local development. So their competitive edge have been their ability to bribe local politicians which should be a lot harder if these politicians now need to worry about being overthrown by the Chinese if they become too influential.
