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
Sep 10, 2010 Mozambique: Police and Protesters
Thirteen dead, at least 300 injured, and 224 arrested is the toll
of three days of demonstrations against prices rises and the high
cost of living. The main protests were in Maputo and the adjoining
city of Matola, with both cities paralysed on Wednesday and
Thursday (1 and 2 September) and only slightly functioning on
Friday. Activity returned to normal on Saturday, and on Tuesday
September 7, the government announced a reversal of the price
increases.
Sep 10, 2010 Mozambique: Poverty and Inequality
"Donors need to believe in the Mozambique success story, so they do
not look at anything which would challenge their comfortable
picture and would force them to rethink their consensus development
policy. But inequalities are growing and are now the major area of
conflict in Mozambique." - Joseph Hanlon
