Mozambique: Abuses Against Media, Activists Before Elections

Police Commit Widespread Harassment, Assaults, Arbitrary Detention

(Johannesburg) – Mozambican police have committed widespread abuses against journalists and civil society activists that could seriously impair their work ahead of elections scheduled for October 9, 2024, Human Rights Watch said today.

The authorities have rarely investigated formal complaints of harassment, threats, physical assault, and arbitrary arrest and detention targeting those covering election activities.

“The Mozambican authorities’ failure to seriously investigate attacks on journalists and civil society activists is escalating the climate of fear in the country,” said Allan Ngari, Africa advocacy director at Human Rights Watch. “The authorities should take urgent measures to end these abuses and foster a safe environment for journalists and activists to work.”

Between August 8 and September 9, Human Rights Watch interviewed 32 people in Maputo, Nampula, Zambezia, and Cabo Delgado provinces. Interviewees included journalists, human rights activists, political leaders, and a police spokesman.

Johannesbourg - South Africa

Au sein de l'Union sud-africaine

En 1917, Johannesburg devint le siège de la société Anglo American fondée par Ernest Oppenheimer, qui devint finalement l'une des plus grandes sociétés du monde, dominant à la fois les mines d'or et de diamant en Afrique du Sud. D'importants investissements immobiliers ont eu lieu dans les années 1930 (immeubles Art déco), après l'abandon de l'étalon-or. À la fin des années 1940 et au début des années 1950, le quartier d'Hillbrow connu une forte croissance. En 1951, en application des nouvelles lois d'apartheid, le township de Soweto fut conçu pour recevoir des résidents uniquement noirs. De nouvelles autoroutes ont favorisé le développement des banlieues au nord de la ville. À la fin des années 1960 et au début des années 1970, des gratte-ciels (notamment le Carlton Centre et le Southern Life Centre) occupaient l’horizon du quartier central des affaires.

En mars 1960, Johannesburg a été le théâtre de nombreuses manifestations contre l'apartheid en réponse au massacre de Sharpeville. En juillet 1963, la police sud-africaine a perquisitionné une maison dans la banlieue de Johannesburg, à Rivonia, où neuf membres du Congrès national africain (ANC), interdit, ont été arrêtés sous l'inculpation de sabotage. Parmi les neuf personnes arrêtées figuraient un Indo-Sud-Africain, deux Blancs et six Noirs, dont l'un était le futur président Nelson Mandela.

Le 16 juin 1976, des manifestations ont éclaté à Soweto à la suite d'un décret gouvernemental tendant à ce que les écoliers noirs soient éduqués en afrikaans et non en anglais. Après que la police eut tiré sur les manifestations, des émeutes contre l'apartheid ont commencé à Soweto et se sont propagées dans la région de Johannesburg. Environ 575 personnes, en majorité noires, ont été tuées lors des émeutes de Soweto en 1976. Entre 1984 et 1986, l'Afrique du Sud était en proie à une série de manifestations nationales, de grèves et d'émeutes contre l'apartheid, et les townships noirs autour de Johannesburg étaient les scènes des luttes les plus acharnées entre la police et des manifestants anti-apartheid.

Période post-apartheid

Le centre de la ville commença à décliner dès les années 1980 et 1990, en raison du taux de criminalité élevé, redirigeant les capitaux des spéculateurs immobiliers vers les banlieues. Le centre commercial de Sandton a été ouvert en 1973, suivie du Rosebank Mall en 1976 et de Eastgate en 1979.

Le 28 mars 1994, à l'approche des élections de 1994, une cinquantaine de manifestants du Parti Inkatha de la liberté sont tués par des gardes de l'ANC lors du massacre de Shell House.

Dans les années 2000, le niveau de criminalité à Johannesburg a diminué, l'économie se stabilisant et commençant à croître. Entre 2001 et 2006, 9 milliards de rands (1,2 milliard de dollars américains) ont été investis dans le centre-ville. Des investissements supplémentaires d’environ 10 milliards de rands (1,5 milliard de dollars américains) sont attendus dans le seul centre-ville d’ici à 2010, sans compter les projets de développement directement liés à la Coupe du monde de football 2010. Afin de préparer Johannesburg à la Coupe du Monde de la FIFA 2010, le gouvernement local a fait appel à Rudy Giuliani, ancien maire de New York, pour aider à faire baisser le taux de criminalité, les matchs d'ouverture et de clôture du tournoi ayant eu lieu dans la ville.

Le 12 mai 2008, une série d'émeutes a commencé dans le township d'Alexandra, dans le nord-est de Johannesburg, lorsque des habitants ont attaqué des migrants du Mozambique, du Malawi et du Zimbabwe, faisant deux morts et 40 blessés. Ces émeutes ont déclenché les attaques xénophobes de 2008. De nouvelles émeutes en 2019 étaient de nature et d'origine semblables aux émeutes xénophobes de 2008.

URBAN SPACES and PUBLIC LIFE

A photographic exploration of urban and public life in Africa by the Market Photo Workshop in partnership with the Centre on African Public Spaces and the University of Johannesburg. Curated by: Andrew Tshabangu, Seth Kriger

in, relating to, or characteristic of…brings together a set of photographers and cultural practitioners from across the continent who are highlighting the expansive landscape of urban and public life in Africa. These photographs lean towards new forms of social life and possibilities questioning our perceptions of ‘the urban’ and rather, eluding towards a new situated imaginary for us here on the continent. Although not all is perfect as themes of neglect, colonial hangovers, and social injustice plague some of these images, all is not lost. Instead, these photographs highlight an innate spirit held within our urban landscape. Bringing in photographic voices from across Africa, this exhibition re-introduces what we can indeed refer to as ‘urban’, and what is in, relating to, or characteristic of our understandings in being African.

The photographers practice in South Africa, Uganda, Sudan, Egypt, Mozambique, Mali, Ghana and Nigeria.

Mozambique: Post-Election Protests Violently Repressed

At Least 11 People Killed; Dozens Seriously Injured

(Johannesburg) – Mozambique security forces killed at least 11 people and injured dozens of others using live bullets and tear gas during post-election protests across the country on October 24 and 25, 2024, Human Rights Watch said today. The authorities should promptly and impartially investigate the apparently excessive use of force.

On October 24, the Mozambican election commission announced that Daniel Chapo and the ruling party Frente de Libertação de Moçambique (Front for the Liberation of Mozambique, FRELIMO) had won the October 9 general elections. The elections and pre-elections period were marred by political killings, widespread irregularities, and restrictions on the rights to freedom of expression and assembly.

“The Mozambique security forces’ violent crackdown on protesters has severely increased political tensions following the country’s elections,” said Allan Ngari, Africa advocacy director at Human Rights Watch. “Mozambican authorities should promptly and impartially investigate alleged misuse of force and hold those responsible accountable.”

Human Rights Watch interviewed 22 people in person and by telephone between October 24 and 27, including victims and witnesses to the violence, physicians, journalists, government officials, and officials of local civil society groups.

Over 50 people suffered serious gunshot wounds, and many, including children as young as one year old, inhaled tear gas that the police fired indiscriminately into residential areas. Police have detained over 400 people who allegedly engaged in public disorder, looting of shops, destruction of public and private property, and an attack on a police station.

What Happened on September 11 in History?

September 11 is a date marked by significant events that have had profound impacts on both global and national scales. Across different centuries and contexts, September 11 has witnessed historical moments that span wars, political transformations, and movements for justice. From the tragedy of the 9/11 attacks to earlier milestones like the construction of the Pentagon or the deposement of Chilean President Salvador Allende, the day carries both painful memories and moments of resilience.

This article explores the key events that took place on September 11, tracing their historical significance and their lasting effects. The narratives of these events reflect the wide spectrum of human history—politics, conflict, architecture, and social movements—that have shaped the modern world. As we explore these events, we are reminded of the ways in which single days can hold the weight of history, offering lessons for the future.

What Happened on September 11 in History?

Kruger to Mozambique (1900)

In the midst of the Second Boer War, September 11 of 1900 marked a crucial moment for the embattled Boer leadership. Paul Kruger, President of the South African Republic (Transvaal), crossed the border into Mozambique, seeking refuge from the advancing British forces. By this point in the war, the Boers, a group of Dutch-speaking settlers in South Africa, had been engaged in a bitter conflict with the British Empire, which sought to assert control over the resource-rich region.

Kruger’s decision to flee marked the beginning of the end for Boer resistance, though guerilla warfare would continue for another two years. His departure symbolized the collapse of formal Boer governance and presaged the annexation of Transvaal by the British. September 11 remains a reminder of how imperial ambitions shaped the political landscape of Southern Africa, with repercussions that would reverberate throughout the 20th century.

Satyagraha (1906)

On September 11, 1906, Mahatma Gandhi coined the term “Satyagraha” in Johannesburg, South Africa. It was a pivotal moment in the history of nonviolent resistance. The word, derived from Sanskrit, means “truth-force” or “soul-force,” and it represented Gandhi’s philosophy of nonviolence as a powerful tool for social and political change. The movement itself arose in opposition to discriminatory laws imposed on the Indian community in South Africa, but it would later become a cornerstone of Gandhi’s broader political approach in India’s fight for independence from British rule.

This event on September 11 holds great significance in the global history of peaceful protest. The concept of Satyagraha inspired countless civil rights movements across the world, including Martin Luther King Jr.’s campaign for civil rights in the United States. Its impact extends beyond the realm of politics into the fabric of moral and ethical resistance to oppression.

Quebec Bridge Collapse (1916)

The tragedy of the Quebec Bridge’s central span collapsing during reconstruction occurred on September 11, 1916, killing 11 men. This was not the first disaster for the bridge, which had already collapsed in 1907, killing 75 workers. The Quebec Bridge was intended to be the longest cantilever bridge in the world at the time, spanning the St. Lawrence River, and its collapse became a notorious engineering failure.

The second collapse in 1916 further underscored the dangers and complexities of large-scale engineering projects in the early 20th century. Both collapses led to improvements in engineering practices, including more rigorous safety standards and calculations, making the lessons of September 11 vital for the development of modern civil engineering.

Lindbergh’s War Claim (1941)

On September 11, 1941, Charles Lindbergh, the famed aviator, made a controversial public statement claiming that the “British, Jewish and Roosevelt administration” were trying to push the United States into World War II. Lindbergh, who had gained international fame for his solo transatlantic flight in 1927, had become a leading voice in the America First Committee, a non-interventionist group opposed to U.S. involvement in the war.

Lindbergh’s remarks on September 11 sparked significant backlash, as his insinuations were seen as anti-Semitic and unpatriotic. His stance on U.S. involvement in the war ultimately damaged his public reputation. Nonetheless, Lindbergh’s speech was indicative of the isolationist sentiment that existed in the U.S. prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor, which shifted the nation’s stance toward the war.

Pentagon Construction Begins (1941)

Also on September 11, 1941, construction of the Pentagon began in Arlington County, Virginia. Designed by architect George Bergstrom and built by contractor John McShain, the construction was overseen by Leslie Groves. The Pentagon, completed in January 1943, would become the headquarters of the U.S. Department of Defense and one of the most recognizable buildings in the world.

The significance of September 11 in relation to the Pentagon was tragically reinforced 60 years later during the 9/11 terrorist attacks, when American Airlines Flight 77 was hijacked and crashed into the building, killing 125 people inside and 59 on the plane. The Pentagon’s dual connection to September 11 highlights its central role in both U.S. defense strategy and the global fight against terrorism.

Order to Shoot Axis Ships (1941)

On September 11, 1941, U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued an order to the U.S. Navy to shoot any Axis ships found in American waters. This order came during a time of increasing tension between the United States and the Axis powers, particularly Germany. Although the U.S. had not yet officially entered World War II, Roosevelt’s directive signaled a clear shift toward greater involvement in the conflict.

This aggressive posture helped lay the groundwork for the U.S. to enter the war just months later, following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December. Roosevelt’s decision on September 11 illustrated the increasingly precarious position of the U.S. as it sought to navigate the complexities of global conflict while maintaining its security.

Hideki Tojo Attempts Suicide (1945)

On September 11, 1945, former Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo attempted suicide rather than face a war crimes tribunal following Japan’s defeat in World War II. Tojo had served as the leader of Japan for most of the war, and his role in Japan’s aggressive military campaigns made him one of the primary figures held responsible for the conflict’s atrocities.

Tojo’s failed suicide attempt on September 11 did not prevent him from facing justice. He was later tried, found guilty, and hanged in 1948 for war crimes. His legacy remains a complex and controversial one, with some viewing him as a symbol of Japan’s wartime leadership and others as a scapegoat for broader military decisions.

De Gaulle in Poland (1967)

On September 11, 1967, French President Charles de Gaulle visited Poland, marking a significant moment in Cold War diplomacy. De Gaulle’s visit was part of his broader foreign policy strategy, which sought to assert French independence from both the U.S. and Soviet spheres of influence during the Cold War. His diplomatic outreach to Eastern Europe was seen as a way to foster stronger relations with countries behind the Iron Curtain, particularly Poland, which was under Soviet control at the time.

De Gaulle’s visit on September 11 symbolized France’s desire to carve out a distinct role in global politics, one that emphasized sovereignty and independence from the major powers of the time. His efforts to engage with Eastern Europe were met with mixed results, but they reinforced France’s position as a major player in Cold War diplomacy.

Allende Deposed in Coup (1973)

On September 11, 1973, Chilean President Salvador Allende was deposed in a military coup led by General Augusto Pinochet. Allende, the first elected Marxist president in Latin America, had come to power in 1970 with a promise to implement socialist reforms. However, his government faced significant internal opposition and external pressures, particularly from the United States, which feared the spread of socialism in the region.

The coup on September 11 resulted in Allende’s death and ushered in a brutal military dictatorship under Pinochet that would last until 1990. This event marked a dark chapter in Chile’s history, as Pinochet’s regime was responsible for widespread human rights abuses, including the torture and disappearance of thousands of political opponents.

Mubarak Meets with Peres (1986)

On September 11, 1986, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak received Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres in a significant diplomatic meeting. The meeting came in the wake of the historic Camp David Accords, which had led to a peace treaty between Egypt and Israel in 1979. Mubarak’s willingness to meet with Peres on September 11 reinforced Egypt’s commitment to maintaining peaceful relations with its neighbor, despite ongoing tensions in the broader Middle East.

The encounter was part of a broader effort to stabilize the region and foster dialogue between Israel and its Arab neighbors. While the peace process would face many challenges in the following decades, the September 11 meeting was an important step in maintaining diplomatic channels between the two nations.

9/11 Attack on NY’s World Trade Towers (2001)

Perhaps the most significant event associated with September 11 in recent history is the 2001 terrorist attack on New York’s World Trade Towers. On that morning, two passenger planes hijacked by Al Qaeda terrorists crashed into the North and South Towers of the World Trade Center, causing their eventual collapse and resulting in the deaths of 2,606 people in the towers and on the ground. A third plane crashed into the Pentagon, while a fourth, United Flight 93, was brought down by passengers in a field in Pennsylvania before it could reach its intended target.

The 9/11 attacks on September 11 shocked the world and led to profound shifts in global politics. The attacks prompted the U.S. to launch the War on Terror, resulting in military interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq, and reshaping international relations. The day stands as a somber reminder of the vulnerabilities of modern societies to acts of terrorism and the ongoing challenges of ensuring global security.

Catalonia Independence March (2017)

On September 11, 2017, one million people marched in Barcelona in support of Catalonia’s independence from Spain. The march, held on Catalonia’s national day, reflected growing tensions between the regional government and the Spanish state. The independence movement had gained momentum over the previous years, culminating in a controversial independence referendum on October 1, 2017.

The mass demonstration on September 11 was a peaceful but powerful display of the desire for self-determination among many Catalans. However, the movement has since faced significant legal and political challenges, as the Spanish government declared the independence referendum illegal. Despite this, September 11 remains a symbol of Catalonia’s aspirations for greater autonomy and its ongoing struggle for recognition.

Conclusion

September 11 stands as one of the most significant dates in modern history, marked by moments of immense tragedy, diplomatic milestones, and significant political changes. From the establishment of peaceful philosophies like Satyagraha in 1906 to the devastating 9/11 attacks in 2001, the events of this day reflect a wide range of human experiences and global impacts. These incidents have shaped the course of history, influencing politics, social movements, and international relations across the globe.

As we reflect on the various events that occurred on September 11, we are reminded of the power of a single day to change the world. Whether through acts of violence or moments of diplomatic outreach, the events of this day continue to resonate in the present, shaping the way we understand history and its enduring legacies.

Author Interview: Jo-Anne Duffett

Tell us about yourself.: I am a medical doctor by day and writer by night and somewhere in between I find time for photography, gardening, running, kayaking and travelling with her fishing mad husband. I am passionate about sports medicine and am also a travel doctor with a yellow fever license and a part-time academic. My first novel, Surf n Turf is set between Cape Town (home) and the Karoo where I love the brilliant night skies. Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?: I was born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa, into a fairly ordinary medical family. Not for long, though... When I finished primary school, we moved to the amazon jungle where my parents were medical missionaries. The mission base was a cultural melting pot of Brazilians, Americans, Europeans and every nationality you can imagine. I quickly added Portuguese to my English and Afrikaans. (South Africa has 12 official languages (sign language being the 12th)). I had a Norwegian tutor for geography, a British lady for English, a South African ecologist teaching me about the jungle, there was a an Argentinian who fell in love with an Australian. So I have a very multi-cultural background. When I returned to South Africa to complete high school, no one could figure out my nationality by my accent. I was just the jungle girl who had owned a pet sloth, nearly lost her parrot to a boa constrictor and dealt with many snakes and tarantulas. I also had a horse, Great Danes and Siamese cats who were never allowed outside without a leash - we never knew when there was a jaguar lurking around. Our house was surrounded by jungle. The howler monkeys were terrifying when we first arrived and I was trying to read Lord of the Rings and was convinced the sounds came from some creature in the book. After the jungle Cape Town was tame but my family continued to do short term mission trips, taking me to places like Uganda and Mozambique. I met my husband when I was 14 but we only married when I was 25 once I was finished studying medicine. He had never left the Western Cape before meeting me, now we have travelled all over the world and South Africa. My field of medicine also creates opportunities for travel, I have been to a conference in the USA, visited universities in the Netherlands, travelled with team South Africa to China, India, the Isle of Man, Zambia and Lesotho. I love exploring and with my husband we have ventured to Finland, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Madagascar, the Seychelles, Zanzibar and all our neighbors Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Zambia. So I have many places cultures and languages to draw from in my writing. I now consider myself a naturalized Capetonian as I have lived here the longest. Do you have any unusual writing habits? I plot while I'm running. Do you have any advice for new authors? When writing thoughts from a different gender to your own, bounce your ideas off someone of that gender. What is the best advice you have ever been given? Porque Deus amou o mundo de tal maneira que deu o seu Filho unigénito, para que todo aquele que nele crê não pereça, mas tenha a vida eterna. João 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only son, that who ever believes in him will have eternal life. John 3:16 What are you reading now? A Thousand and One Arabian nights by Anon on audiobook in my car check out Librivox.com for free audiobooks (classic) Work and Win by Oliver Optic audio book on my phone while I do chores (classic children) The Leper of St Giles by Ellis Peters in my husbands car (medieval mystery) Secrets at Court by Blythe Gifford in the lounge (historical romance) The Phoenix and the Carpet by E Nesbit in the bedroom (classic children) Trapped with the Duke by Annabelle Anders on my phone for queues (historical romance) What's your biggest weakness? Well fitted jeans on a man Historical romances Chocolate What is your favorite book of all time? Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen I never get tired of reading it. Or watching it, although reading is better as you get to imagine how they look. I love the way she creates strong personalities. When you're not writing, how do you like to spend your time? Working! Exploring Researching my next holiday Running Photography Hiking Walking with my husband Kayaking Open water swimming Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you? The first story I remember was the Lion the Witch and the wardrobe. My sister and I took turns to read it out aloud and we were limited to a chapter a night. It was so frustrating. When I was small, I was given a proper Holy Bible by my grandpa and a dictionary. I would look up a word to have to look up the words explaining that word. I guess it improved my vocabulary exponentially. My setwork books at school I read cover to cover the first day I got them and instead of studying for the literature exams I just re-read them. What has inspired you and your writing style? Although I enjoy reading classics, I really enjoy the fast paced style of mysteries, combined with my love of romance. I want to keep the reader interested and turning the pages not getting bogged down in detail. Its an art to describe the beauty of the setting without leading your reader to skim. What are you working on now? A sweet contemporary medical romance which combines my passion for my work with my enjoyment of literature. Fire & Ice, How to Tame a Doc Thomás Ribeiro could win the titles of “best dad” and “Dreamland’s Doctor Tall, Dark and Handsome,” but he is icy to ladies and with good reason. Dr Charlie Kriel is a pint-sized fiery sports doc, wary of kids and determined to do without men. A matchmaking aunt and engaging kid contrive to melt ice with fire. Charlie is determined to protect her heart and keep her secrets, so she fights like a scared kitten. Can Thomás, get out of his self-imposed ice-cage, and tame her? What is your favorite method for promoting your work? Book review sites What's next for you as a writer? A time-travel romance :-) Buckle up for a thrilling ride through time and space in Dani the Dino Girl, From Fossils to Fables. When 21st century palaeontologist, Dani, is suddenly transported back in time, she finds herself in the company of a 17th century nobleman who escaped pirates by traveling into the 6th century. Throw in a stowaway boy, elephant birds, a mischievous lemur, and a missing grandma. Will Dani be able to use her scientific knowledge to survive in this new world? Or will she be swept away by the romance and adventure that awaits her? Fans of time travel, historical fiction, and animal companions will love this unique blend of science and fantasy. There is loads of work still be done, but I'm enjoying all the research required for the various time zones. Who would have thought I would visit a glass museum, browse an antique store, take out palaeontology textbooks form the library or visit an archaeology dig?! How well do you work under pressure? I seem to get more done, the more that needs to be done. I thought during my holiday that I would write for vast periods, yet I ended up reading instead, but during term, when I can only snatch a sentence or a paragraph, then I really make progress. Work of course is never ending high pressure. How do you decide what tone to use with a particular piece of writing? It is entirely determined by my characters. I first need to understand what makes them tick, anticipate their reactions, let myself become their alter ego. If you could share one thing with your fans, what would that be? My photography.
