Upstream Thinking: Solving Problems Caused by Innovation

Murder in Mozambique

 By TOM BOWKER

Associated Press MAPUTO, Mozambique (AP) -  Amnesty International has accused Mozambique's government forces of torturing suspected members of an Islamist insurgency in the country's northern Cabo Delgado province, as well as "possible extrajudicial executions" and "discarding of a large number of corpses into apparent mass graves." Mozambique's extremist insurgency began in northern Cabo Delgado province, bordering Tanzania in the north and the Indian Ocean to the east, in October 2017. The rebels dramatically stepped up their attacks in 2020 and in August captured the strategic port city of Mocimboa da Praia and have held it for nearly a month.

Ajali Kubwa Katika Machimbo ya Dhahabu Congo Yaua Watu Zaidi ya 50

 Associated Press KINSHASA, Congo (AP) -  Officials say more than 50 people are dead after landslides caused the collapse of three artisanal gold mines near the city of Kamituga in eastern Congo's South Kivu province on Friday. Heavy rains for days led to the disaster. The mayor says that the diggers and the transporters of the stones were swallowed up by the waters. A team of rescuers with motor pumps came to recover the bodies of the victims. Mining quarries are often unsafe in eastern Congo and the Kasai region. Women and children also work in the mines to make ends meet.
