Solidaridad internacionalista con Mozambique

Friends of the Earth International denounces the violent state repression of protests in Mozambique following fraudulent elections on October 9. The organization reports at least 34 deaths, the use of live ammunition by security forces, and the killing of opposition leaders. It attributes the underlying social instability to neoliberal policies imposed by the IMF and the exploitation of natural resources by transnational companies, which have left 73% of the population in poverty. The statement calls for an end to violence, electoral justice, and a transition to a more equitable socioeconomic model.

• Following elections on October 9, where the Frelimo party was declared the winner, opposition parties and observers reported irregularities including the illegal exclusion of opposition observers and the manipulation of ballots. This led to nationwide protests and a brutal response from police and military forces, resulting in at least 34 confirmed deaths.
• State repression has intensified in the capital, Maputo, and other cities, characterized by the use of live ammunition, illegal detentions, and torture, particularly affecting children and youth. On October 19, two high-ranking opposition figures were killed, including the legal advisor to the main presidential candidate who intended to challenge the election results.
• The document links social unrest to deep economic inequality, noting that 73% of Mozambicans live in poverty. This is attributed to neoliberal policies imposed by the IMF under the Frelimo government and the export of wealth from fossil fuel exploitation, land use, and mining projects, which have led to the land grabbing of rural communities.
• Friends of the Earth International and Justica Ambiental demand an immediate end to state violence, the withdrawal of police forces, and an investigation into police killings. They further call for the restoration of internet access, respect for the electoral will of the people, and a shift away from the neoliberal socioeconomic paradigm toward a more equitable and inclusive development model.
