Guys what's wrong with our black leaders man???

[@linmueltrading4335]

Very shameful leaders in Africa.

[@Africaisthefuture-zh8bo]

Its the age group. Our elders still suffer from colonial trauma, and rule us based on that. They sell us out to western nations and cant do anything right. But they demand our respect😂😂. Elders cannot rule us anymore, they just dont know how and their minds work differently from the youths in Africa.

[@mogopodiphiri6286]

[@ChibulaPacule-o4x]

They opened the prisoners to acuse ,Venâncio Mondlane

[@cryciojorge2699]

Dah right is colonialism, because they are pappet leaders placed by the oppressor after they called Samora Machel.

[@phoenixo7301]

African countries are still colonized. Nowadays, they plant their own leaders in what is called a "democratic state." Another evil colonizer is fueling war in Mozambique, making the poor to take up arms. That's the story of Africa. It's not debatable further. You may not know this fact unless you are privileged somehow. 😢

They were released, no one can escape from that prison so easily. That doesn't make sense. The Minister of Justice, which is also a member of Frelimo, said that there were no protesters, they escaped on their own from an inside uprising but, they were released.

[@googleuser9127]

I was sent a video from a prisoner when it started they were hiding inside at first. The gards and police were shooting at the protesters then they got the weapons from them. I agree with your statment.

This kind of protesting is unheard of. Causing chaos is not a positive look for the power-hungry Venancio Mondlane when he becomes president as he wishes. Foreign investors will definitely avoid Mozambique because of this violence.

[@ochacal7794]

Why FRELIMO doesn't step down and this stop?

[@forfatah1540]

@ochacal7794 Truly speaking the army in the only group that can stop this OR create a government of national unity where the runner-up Venancio becomes the Prime minister. The problem is he doesn't want that also. It's not practical for the so called winners to hand over power without toungible evidence that they lost. Evidence is paper not protestors. Maybe a rerun of elections is practical enough.

These countries with their own sovereignty will not help us as Africans ,because they are sovereign and we can not tell them how to govern themselves but that sovereignty is useless because their economies are too small and too weak to sustain themselves without help, its just imperative that those who are helping them should have a more stronger voice in their affairs otherwise all those refugees constitute a burden on other countries.... disband these small governments and allow for a more strong one or two strong government to oversee these countries, militarily they are not able to contain anything stronger, Its just names as countries but these are not countries,they are provinces of Africa, it was Sudan and its not even over yet another one, how long will we continue like this, these greedy politicians must be made to have some level of fear by coming with a strong government to make them report otherwise change them just like ministers are changed if they are not performing.
