Mozambique: Violence is addictive?

http://macua.blogs.com/moambique_para_todos/2010/05/mocodoene-criminosos-alvejam-padre-e-sofrem-baixa.html # more

degradation that the crisis economy is more acute in the world, is reflected in Mozambique in recent days and the above link will give you an example. Until now, the country has been considered - in a sense also to reason - a quiet village, where rates of violence were on the whole low compared to most agitated neighbors is a given fact that real than the countries that surround it, South Africa, Angola, Tanzania and Zimbabwe, it has always been crime and peak flows less intense and more controlled.

Lately, however, an escalation of violence is leaving traces of his presence, from north to south and from south to north - still spreading, luckily, at a pace not too alarming. On the one hand there is the reflection dell'acutizzarsi approfonditasi of inequality and made more unbearable by the recent economic crisis on both sides, and instead, the restriction of immigration laws in South Africa that has forced many Mozambicans forced to return home after years of frustration and discrimination in South African soil.

These two factors have generated discontent with the present mainly in the north, where the constituent opposition - RENAMO - is stronger and carries with it years of political frustration, the exponential growth of violent gangs that are involved that attack without the exception of citizenship. The last episode goes back a few days ago and has alarmed eyes more critical. It 'was in fact attacked the Catholic mission of Mocoduene, a tiny town in the province of Inhambane and injured by blows of a firearm, father Thiago known and respected by the community for its long-term commitment.

A frightening fact is not simply the personal attack, theft or loss of property, though important, is that a scare in these attacks do not recognize the slightest attention to discern between those who are actively engaged in the same communities in which the robbers were born and raised and the municipality Mzungu - white. This can mean different things and raises several questions: you're losing the link with the community? We are no longer able let us know by the people of the villages where we work? Poverty is the only maker of enlargement to wildfire target of thieves?

The fact that more and more missions are non-governmental organizations or the target of these thefts, it means to widen, moreover, is also the gap between the work of the fathers or operators and local communities. There is, perhaps, a problem of perception and communication, and then received the message that these institutions carry through their - our - work. E 'and then ask ourselves whether we need to redefine the tools of dialogue and community involvement to clarify that our local presence, with some exceptions, is not a "new colonial presence" - or at least not only, as is being debated recently in Europe.

I think it is important that the first step from us "development agents" and in possession of the means to refine and calibrate the involvement of communities in our projects. For if there is or there is a bug in the communications state, are also part of our responsibility. After all, the challenge is present and at stake is the very success of our projects, as well as long-term development.

We challenge ourselves! and our own philosophical and policy evolution that led us to deny decades ethnocentrism in favor of an open approach to knowledge, understanding of and exchange with him.

What Caueses Kidney Stones In Dogs

One Sunday in May ....

In the world of cooperation is widely believed that Mozambique is a country easy ... And maybe it is!

. ... But for whom?? I think only us who have "energized" the idea of \u200b\u200bgiving up our comforts for a year or two.

Here there is no war. Children do not have the typical swollen belly with which journalists tend to present Africa. The rates of theft and robbery are lower than other countries in Africa Austral. It 's a country full of enchanting landscapes, music and colors, which often contributes to confusion with one of those pictures of Valtour catalogs. And the beaches of the coast are full of muscular surfers in South Africa.

Nevertheless, a closer look returns, violent split. Mozambique is not easy, not easy for women, men, teenagers and children. The elderly? I have not forgotten, rare species are simply here where life expectancy is about 42 years.

Today during Mass it seemed to me to see a girl pregnant, have had little more than 12 years, is still a child, I suffered. But then, is a child just for us? Heck no! I will not resign myself to believe that in these places, as they say, "you grow up fast." That girl is still a child, and as such does not deserve to give birth to a son who will be even more unfortunate for her to grow into the arms of a new mother a child.

Nonstante the efforts of the actors on the ground, childhood to Inhassoro exudes sadness. Sure, the street children are the first to smile and wave their hands shouting "tataaaa" - hello, Xitsua - but they do it alone. At 12, the route that takes me home from school there are dozens of children crossing, walk, or rather legs, and from the Escolinha - A cross between our nursery and kindergarten - with their aprons but they do it alone. They are nice yes, but they are alone.

course, it is poverty that creates this kind of violence, because, in my opinion, violence is. While maintaining a different tradition which in turn implies a different relationship between parents and children, you can not stigmatize these distortions as simple differences between our and a different culture. Twelve years old girls waiting for a child or children left to graze freely on the streets are the result of a violent poverty.

So, Mozambique - like other countries - is not an easy country. Here should grow at least mean to try to avoid violence.

's just a reflection of a Sunday in May.

Rode Nt1a Phantom Power

A lot of stuff in so little time

still amazes me how, years later, the relationship with a girl to lay on him, as if there was another.
It is not even used, that entropy of recent times, now I can no longer used to tell me anything that you can give a name, you can get back into shape or taste in a book.

In this undertow of transfer and retention of feelings that still is incomprehensible to me, and I want to give importance to the birthday of the that has remained one of my greatest friends ... it is today, and that in a certain way, is a root. And then I remember the others, that the years will make a quick ... and those that will make them more often than me.

Why all this desire to take the plunge I did a lot of crap which will laugh (or cry) for hours at a certain age ... Of course I will remain on the signs, but true friendships, like those of May 1 spent a few days ago, before you lose consciousness (oibò), I still seem essential.

are a large dick ... and still do not know if I have to be more consistent to the ideas or people, that's ideas, when followed, will lead far, at least some ... It seems so unbearable for a human body, who always pay the consequences. So the stories of men in pieces, in body and soul, of all the postmodern fiction that I find myself so much, those stories come back today, still ... and more ...
will probably save people, people with ideas, however, the people with whom I can share my dreams, that if you take me away, there will always be someone to take one, two, three drinks.
to forget the bullshit, to forget, perhaps, that he let go of people that I should not let go ... To forget the defeats suffered not understand well how I struggled to bring them into victories.

If I think of how much more we can do with it, I feel like a child.
