CPJ is proud to have contributed to @FbdnStories’ #MozambiqueExposed project, investigating the disappearances of journalists Ibraimo Mbaruco and Arlindo Chissale and the lack of justice for the killings of João Chamusse and Albino Sibia.
“Attacks on journalists are not addressed. There’s zero accountability and complete impunity,” CPJ's @angelaquintal told Forbidden Stories as one of their 100-plus interviewees.
The stories reveal a broader pattern of enforced disappearances and political killings, with the involvement of figures linked to the ruling Frelimo party.

🔴🇲🇿 [New investigation] #MozambiqueExposed.
“I am informed of very sensitive things” said Arlindo Chissale, one of the few Mozambican journalists investigating electoral fraud and abuses committed by the security forces.
Three days after publishing this video online, he disappeared.

This is possibly the saddest thing I've seen in a long time..an immigrant nurse talking about fleeing her home..she saved her UNIFORM. So she could still WORK for our communities.
I'd fill this country with a thousand of this woman than one of those good for nothing thugs.
God help this poor woman.

Zimbabwe's gold boom is poisoning its own people. Despite signing the Minamata Convention, 96% of artisanal gold mining sites still use toxic mercury, putting miners, communities and water sources at risk.

Play is vital for children. But playing outside in Kabwe, Zambia - among the world's most polluted places - exposes them to lead poisoning. This puts parents in a terrible dilemma.
On #InternationalDayofPlay, we call on @angloamerican to clean up the mining waste it left there.

When the cell will not do, there is the bullet and, for those who survive, the border. At @Follow_SALC, we see this pattern every other week.
The question is whether the region’s institutions are strong enough to stop this crisis.

People in Zimbabwe’s former asbestos mining towns risk developing diseases from millions of tonnes of abandoned asbestos waste.
The region was a huge asbestos producer in 20th century. Good investigation that exposes the legacies of colonial extractivism.

Can you imagine if your child was struggling at school and you realised it was due to...lead poisoning?
Mining giant Anglo American left Zambia over 50 years ago but the tons of toxic waste it left in Kabwe continue to cause daily harm, as Lydia explains. We need #JusticeForKabwe
