One month before the 2024
electoral campaign, the government of the Quinga administrative post, in the
Liúpo district of Nampula, northern Mozambique, promised the population that
there would be electricity distribution and land allocation for public servants
and some young locals and residents.
According to the
authorities, this action was supposed to take place before the voting day and
month, so the distribution process itself was to happen.
However, the electoral
campaign passed, the voting took place, but electrification and land
distribution did not happen. Some young people explained: "We had hope
that we would get our land to start our lives and stop depending on our
relatives. We are astonished because they took land from owners, claiming it
was for young people and public servants," said one of the young people.
Quinga is an administrative
post in the Liúpo district and supplies almost the entire district, as well as
part of Nampula province, with fish.
It is a post that has
received electricity, but the number of electrified houses is limited. With
these promises, the residents were happy.
Now, the population claims
this was one of the reasons that led to the total destruction of the post's
infrastructure. This shows the level of frustration of the local population.
