May 13, 2016 Mozambique: Debt Crisis & the Panama Papers
The paragraph that originally appeared here, citing AIM, and the
cited article from AIM, reposted by AfricaFocus on
May 13, 2016, have been removed from this AfricaFocus web archive on this
page pursuant to a request from AIM, as a result of complaints to AIM
on behalf of Privinvest by its public relations firm Woodstock
Leasor Limited and its legal representative Michael Simkins LLP, both in London. For more details on the AIM
retraction, see below.
September 8, 2015 Mozambique/Africa: "The Eloquent Peasant"
The juxtaposition of a current trial for freedom of expression in
Mozambique with a classic ancient Egyptian poem may seem incongruous
at first glance. One trial currently awaiting a verdict in Maputo
includes a Mozambican economist and two Mozambican journalists [with
the trial of one journalist postponed because of health], while the
other features a peasant seeking redress from the country's rulers
for wrongs inflicted by a landowner. But the poem was cited in his
own defense by economist Carlos Nuno Castel-Branco, in a one-day
trial in Maputo on August 31.
June 12, 2013 Mozambique: Agriculture Project Challenged
"We, the rural populations, families from the communities
of the Nacala Corridor, religious organisations and
Mozambican civil society, recognising the importance and
urgency of combating poverty and promoting sustainable
and sovereign development, believe it is timely and
crucial to voice our concerns and proposals in relation
to the ProSavana Programme. ... After several discussions
at community level in the districts covered by this
programme, with Mozambican Government authorities [and
with representatives of Brazil and Japan], we find that
there are many discrepancies and contradictions
[confirming] defects in the programme design;
irregularities in the alleged process of public
consultation and participation; serious and imminent
threat of usurpation of rural populations' lands and
forced removal of communities from areas that they
currently occupy." - Open letter to leaders of
Mozambique, Brazil, and Japan, May 28, 2013
