After repeated criticism, Filipe Paunde resigned as party secretary-general. Paude and the party Political Commission tried to restrict the list of possible candidates to three allied to current President Armando Guebuza: Prime Minister Alberto Vaquina, Agriculture Minister Jose Pacheco and Nyussi. An old guard anti-Guebuza campaign led by Graça Machel and Joaquim Chissano, forced two former prime ministers onto the list, Luisa Diogo and Aires Ali. In an impassioned speech, Graça Machel also forced Guebuza to allow former members of the Political Commission who are no longer on the Central Committee, including former President Chissano, to attend and speak (but not vote). (Contrary to earlier reports, Eduardo Mulembwe did not stand.) In the first round tonight, Nyussi gained 46% and Diogo 23%. In a second round between those two, Nyussi was selected, with 135 votes (68%) against 61 (31%) for Diogo. Filipe Nyussi is Macondi and was born 9 February 1959, in Namaua, Mueda, Cabo Delgado. He was the only one of the candidates to have a liberation war link, having attended the Frelimo school in Tunduru, Tanzania before independence. -

Mozambique News Agency AIM Reports st Report no.451, 1 October 2012 President Guebuza closes Frelimo Congress The success of any undertaking depends on “believing in ourselves”, declared President Armando Guebuza on 28 September as he brought the Tenth Congress of the ruling Frelimo Party to a close in the northern city of Pemba. National unity, he added, establishes “a symbiotic relationship” with self-esteem which in turn generates and reaffirms “belief in our ability to achieve and to better ourselves”. “Throughout the years, the expression ‘rely on our own Those who had been elected, he added, “now face the forces’ has galvanized us into finding solutions for each of challenge of putting our knowledge, creativity, initiative and the challenges we faced”, said President Guebuza. “With commitment at the service of Frelimo.

World Bank Says Agriculture & Rural Poverty Unchanged from End of War MOZAMBIQUE News Reports & Clippings

Agricultural productivity is "especially low" because of "the persistence of extremely rudimentary technologies." People do not leave their farms only because there are no jobs to move to. This "gloomy picture" is painted in the Mozambique country case study for the World Bank 2013 World Development Report, published 1 October. The report, "Jobs and Welfare in Mozambique" by Sam Jones and Finn Tarp of the University of Copenhagen, is damning. It says there are no clear and coherent policies and that both manufacturing and smallholder agriculture are stagnating. 300,000 adults are joining the workforce each year, and there are no jobs for them. "There is no evidence of a positive process of structural transformation in the employment landscape; rather, underemployment is rife [and] education levels remain extremely low." The report is on the WDR background papers webpage (http://go.worldbank.org/HVWLPADVY0) . -

War and Talks Continue
MOZAMBIQUE News reports & clippings 244 4 March 2014 Editor: Joseph Hanlon ( [email protected]) To subscribe: tinyurl.com/sub-moz To unsubscribe: tinyurl.com/unsub-moz Previous newsletters, more detailed press reports in English and Portuguese, and other Mozambique material are posted on tinyurl.com/mozamb This newsletter can be cited as "Mozambique News Reports & Clippings" __________________________________________________________________________ War and talks continue Government-Renamo talks have moved on to military issues, and both sides are trying to bolster their position with military actions. Government is continuing patrols and Renamo is continuing to attack the patrols. On Sunday morning Renamo attacked a military base at Mussicadzi II, killing four border guard soldiers. The location is 500 metres from the main north-south N1 road, and 60 km north of Gorongosa town. And on Monday last week (24 February) Renamo attacked a three vehicle convoy at Vunduzi, near the former Renamo headquarters of Santungira, injuring five soldiers. The base is now occupied by government troops and the convoy was bringing supplies. (O País, 26 February and 4 March) Meanwhile, the normal weekly Renamo-government talks took place Monday at the Joaquin Chissano conference centre. Having agreed electoral issues, the talks have moved on to security matters. COMMENT: The issue appears to be how to integrate Renamo officers and soldiers into the army. Frelimo wants a loyal army that would not threaten military coups, and thus it marginalised former Renamo fighters after the 1994 integration of the military. Renamo says this cannot happen again, while Frelimo does not want an armed opposition. -

Mozambique – Political Dynamics, Regulatory Outlook and Infrastructure Risks
AFRICA MOZAMBIQUE – POLITICAL DYNAMICS, REGULATORY OUTLOOK AND INFRASTRUCTURE RISKS Hugely promising natural gas exploration success rates off Mozambique have generated expectations of escalating investment in the country in the coming years. Robert Besseling examines the most significant political challenges to the development of the natural gas sector in Mozambique. Political in-fighting and distractions are likely to stall the formulation of a legislative framework for the sector, motivate the renegotiation of existing contracts and delay the necessary development of LNG infrastructure. In order to mitigate risks, investing companies will become more dependent on local partnerships with the political elite. SECTOR OVERVIEW Significant natural gas reserves – estimated at around 150 trillion cubic feet (tcf) – have been discovered in the Rovuma Basin by Italy’s Eni S.p.A and Houston-based Anadarko Petroleum Corporation. These reserves have the potential to position Mozambique as a major natural gas exporter. Stake sales by first-movers Eni and Anadarko (along with its partner, India’s Videocon Industries Limited) are attracting major international players, with China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) purchasing a 20% stake in the “Area 4” project from Eni in March 2013. According to the National Petroleum Institute (INP), a number of companies have previously expressed an interest in future bidding rounds for exploration blocks off Mozambique, including Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas), the Vitol Group, Noble Energy, Inc., Tullow Oil plc, Exxon Mobil Corporation, Royal Dutch Shell plc and BP plc. In addition, there will be opportunities for construction companies in the development of liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals, ports, new pipelines and associated infrastructure. -
Former Prime Minister Luisa Diogo Was the Anyone-But-Ali Candidate

Prime Minister Aires Ali was seen as President Armando Guebuza's choice as a relatively weak President he could control, and his defeat shows the limit of Guebuza's power. Former Prime Minister Luisa Diogo was the anyone-but-Ali candidate. The defeat of both shows that interests and power with the party are dispersed, and some compromises and negotiation will be needed before the Presidential candidate is selected next year by the Central Committee. The candidate does not have to be a member of the Political Commission, but it would be hard to select someone who did not have enough support within the Central Committee to have been elected to the Political Commission. The Frelimo 10th Congress in Pemba 23-28 September 2012 elected the president of the party - re- electing Armando Guebuza unopposed - and elected one-third of the Central Committee.
