The Mozambican police
announced
on Tuesday afternoon the opening of a
criminal case against Afonso
Dhlakama and all members of
his party who were involved in shootings in Zimpinga area,
Gondola district, Manica
province. The announcement
of the criminal case against
Dhlakama and company was
made by Inacio Dina, spokesman of the General
Command of Police. Dina said
the process is justified by the
need to meet the authorities
responsible for the shooting
which killed the driver of the small truck that made the
Inchope-Chimoio route. "A
lawsuit was filed to clarify the
actual circumstances of the
incident" - Dina said,
explaining that at an early stage the process is against
Dhlakama and all members of
his Renamo party who were involved in
the shooting. These must be
heard by the police to ascertain
who really the shooter who killed the driver of the ''pick up truck". Then will open a
s pecific case against the
shooter, who should be
charged with voluntary manslaughter and the other will be charged with the
process that has to do with
creating unrest and public
disorder. "The leader of
Renamo is also part of that
the process. We are waiting for complete data to
know where is Dhlakama. If
you have some fear of the
populace,hand yourself ovee to the police because they are the one who can protect you
"- continued Dina. Asked to what entity the case had been
referred, Dina pure and simply
did not answer, but simply
reiterated that there is already
a process that runs in the
instances of law.

Teaching quality is lacking in public schools
will only attend classes because they
have feeding programs in school. This
is the scenario outlined by the Professor Hildizina Dias of most
schools visited as part of research on education that has been developing for
years. The academic and lecturer at the
Pedagogical University (UP spoke
yesterday at a conference on the
challenges of the process of teaching
and learning quality, which ends today in the delegation of the UP Quelimane.
With a vast work published on
education, Hildizina Dias even said it's
not just what is happening in primary
schools in the public sector. And he
asks: "Why is it that poor children have to be in schools without toilets? Many
schools I've seen in Niassa, Cabo
Delgado and Inhambane have
no bathrooms. And why is it that the
private schools have it all? Why is it
that the universities are concerned about investing in aluminum railing
and do not take this money to build
bathrooms in primary schools? "

Guebuza and Chissano advocate dialogue and inclusion
Armando Guebuza and Chissano,
are advocating dialogue among the main
political actors and inclusion of all
Mozambicans' ideas as solutions for
effective peace and development. These ideas have been presented,on Friday bh the
two elder statesmen who spoke on the
sidelines of the celebrations of the Day
of the Armed Forces of Mozambique
(FADM). With a speech focused
on criticism of his former political rival, Armando Guebuza considered that the
current problem of peace and
development in the country is in the
bellicose tendencies of Afonso
Dhlakama. "The warmongering
tendencies of Renamo leader Afonso Dhlakama, influence national
development", accused Guebuza. The
former president called on the leader of
Renamo to embrace dialogue,
emphasizing the desire of
Mozambicans for peace, which involves the acceptance of the meeting with Filipe
Nyusi. "The Renamo president should
meet with our president (Filipe Nyusi),
present the problems he has and find
the ways that can bring real peace, so
that he can also make a contribution, not as a marginal who he seems to be when he refuses to talk to our president to solve
the problems this country has,
"Guebuza said, appealing to his former
election rival that he must not jeopardize
the future of millions of Mozambicans.
Nyusi in the United States says that there are people who have doubts about the electoral process
to economic development, "said the Head of State, speaking at a meeting held on Saturday, with the Mozambican
community resident in the United States
of America (USA) and Canada.

RENAMO representative writes John Kerry
Dear Honorable US Secretary of state
I am writing this message as a citizen of
Mozambique and on behalf of other
millions of Mozambican, that can´t be
able to write for some reasons. As it is
known, Mozambique has since 1975
been governed and dominated by a Communist political party called Frelimo
which has ruled the country using fake
elections wrapped with frauds. The people of Mozambique want
democratic changes in Mozambique and
have been participating in elections
hoping that one day they could have a
true winner and finally a democratic
country, but that hope has always been wiped out by fraud. In Mozambique,
everything is partisan. The Mozambican
Army, police and other public agencies
are all working under Frelimo control
and in defense of Frelimo, and not in
defense of the people. There is no democracy in Mozambique. The opposition parties, like Renamo,
which is not in favor of Communism is
persecuted. For exemplo, Mr. Afonso
Dhlakama, President of Renamo
escaped from wto military ambushes
orchestrated by the Frelimo. Frelimo party and its leaders are intersted on
assassinating Dhlakama because he
speaks on behalf of the people. We need help, please! Frelimo is a threat
to the democracy, and is doing
everything it can to maintain itself as
the only active political party in
Mozambique. Many people trying to
contribute for democracy process are killed, such as the case of Professor
Gilles Cistac a French citizen who was a
Professor at Mozambican University and
who has been killed early this year
because of his opinions and ideas about
decentralization of government. Renamo has fought a war against
Frelimo during 16 years trying to finish
a one political party system in
Mozambique. Renamo signed accord to cease
hostilities in 1992 and in 1994 first
democratic election was held, but
Frelimo has being using Frauds since
then, as a mean to maintain itself on
the power. We believe that USA is a democratic country and do not support
communist ideologies. Therefore, on behalf of Mozambican
people and Renamo, I am asking help,
to see if US secretary of State can help
us to end political crisis in Mozambique. Best regards

Bay of Pemba, (north) and was carried

with FAO to share information initially processed here (in the country) and then the final analysis be made more
specific in laboratories to have conclusive
results," he said. The investigator for IIP, Rui
Mutombene,affirmed, "What we did on the cruise
was the collection of sediments of the
seabed and the answer will be given, of course, when these specific studies are
ready," he said. Santana Afonso

existence of sardines and horse
mackerel in the Mozambican coast, for
industrial fishing. A similar study was conducted in 2007.
