Solidarité internationaliste avec le Mozambique
Summary
Friends of the Earth International expresses solidarity with Mozambicans protesting fraudulent elections and state repression. The organization links the current social unrest to systemic poverty and inequality driven by neoliberal policies, IMF-imposed measures, and the extraction of natural resources by multinationals. It demands an end to police violence, accountability for killings, and a transition toward an equitable development model that respects the rights of local and indigenous populations.
Key insights
- Following elections on October 9, where the Frelimo party was declared the winner, opposition parties and observers reported irregularities such as ballot stuffing and the illegal exclusion of opposition observers, leading to nationwide protests and a state crackdown that resulted in at least 34 confirmed deaths.
- The document asserts that 73% of Mozambicans live in poverty, a condition exacerbated by neoliberal policies imposed by the IMF under Frelimo's governance.
- Environmental and social inequalities have been deepened by the export of wealth from mining, land use, and fossil fuel projects, which the document describes as destructive and characteristic of neocolonial exploitation benefiting multinationals and political elites.
- The organization demands that Mozambique abandon its neoliberal paradigm in favor of an inclusive development model that ensures public services, environmental justice, and the right to self-determination for indigenous, peasant, and local populations.
