Internationalist Solidarity with Mozambique

Friends of the Earth International calls for an end to state violence and repression in Mozambique following the October 9 elections, which opposition parties and observers claim were fraudulent. The organization links the current social unrest and high poverty rates—affecting 73% of the population—to IMF-imposed neoliberal policies and the export of wealth from fossil fuel and mining projects. It demands an inquiry into police killings, the restoration of internet and movement freedoms, and a transition toward a development model based on environmental, social, and gender justice.

• The October 9 elections in Mozambique, won by the Frelimo party, are contested by opposition parties and observers who report irregularities such as ballot stuffing and the illegal exclusion of monitors.
• State security forces have responded to protests with a brutal crackdown, resulting in at least 34 confirmed deaths and reports of police using live ammunition and 'shooting to kill'.
• Despite Mozambique's resource wealth, 73% of the population lives in poverty, a condition the document attributes to IMF-imposed neoliberal policies and the extraction of wealth via fossil fuel, mining, and land use projects that displace rural communities.
• Friends of the Earth International and Justica Ambiental demand that the Mozambican state withdraw police forces, investigate killings, end mobile internet restrictions, and shift its socio-economic paradigm away from neoliberalism toward inclusive development and the respect of Indigenous Peoples' rights to self-determination.
