About a
month ago, citizens of Mozambique protested in front of a Brazilian owned mine,
angered for being forced off their land, and having to relocate to areas unsustainable
for agriculture. Interestingly, It has been announced today that Brazil has decided to
either reform or completely terminate large debts owed to them by African
countries. This decision has been influenced solely by the future economic gain
Brazil will acquire through Africa’s rich oil and mineral resources. As far as the
displaced Mozambique citizens go, Vale, the Brazilian mining corporation and
the Mozambique government say they are working on solutions that will better
their circumstances.
