When journalism is under threat, so is democracy. Unfortunately, this has been the case in Mozambique, as I point out in my contribution to the latest Southern Africa Press Freedom. misa.org/blog/the-state-of-p…

I am thrilled to announce the launch of my first book, which is about the war in Cabo Delgado. The book describes the beginning, evolution, and dynamics of the conflict, offering a factual history that helps to understand the armed insurgency in Northern Mozambique.

Last year, I had the honour of being selected by the US as an emerging leader in Mozambique. Under the ‘International Visitor Leadership Programme’, I visited the US for almost a month. From Washington DC to New York, Winsconi and Colorado. Thanks for such a great opportunity

The Forum on Internet Freedom in Africa 2024 #FIFAfrica24 #Dakar has been a such meaningful event. It is much clear that the fight for a safe digital sphere is not an option; it’s a duty of our generation. Congrats @cipesaug and @AFRICTIVISTES.

As we celebrate the #WPFD24, we must reaffirm our commitment to safeguarding press freedom as a cornerstone for our democracy. Unfortunately, #Mozambique remains hostile to free journalism, as we demonstrate in this Report data.misa.org/en/entity/mvxe…), launched today in #Gaborone.
