Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The Archbishop of Beira, Cl\u00e1udio Dalla Zuanna, on Sunday condemned the wave of kidnappings in Mozambique and warned that the incidents may be linked to state institutions. Dalla Zuanna also underlined that the situation was dangerous, as the perpetrators of the crime may even have infiltrates institutions of justice.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the sidelines of a graduation ceremony at the Catholic University of Mozambique, the archbishop warned that isolated gestures and actions were not enough to stop kidnappings, and called for a unified effort to fight a crime which has taken on alarming proportions in the country.<\/p>\n

Cl\u00e1udio Dalla Zuanna also said that the kidnappings were proof of the existence of organised crime in the country \u2013 a very dangerous situation \u2013 and drew attention to the danger of an atmosphere of impunity, possibly a sign that criminals had infiltrated the institutions of justice.<\/p>\n

\u201cOrganised crime may even infiltrate institutions and compromise work and service,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n

In the latest report on the general state of justice in the country, the Attorney General of the Republic, Beatriz Buchili, said that 14 criminal cases for kidnapping were registered in 2021, against 18 in 2020, while acknowledging that there could be cases not officially registered.<\/p>\n

For the Archbishop of Beira, it is essential that all sectors of society get involved in the fight against kidnapping, whose main targets are businesspeople or people linked to them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to find answers together. Academic, political and judicial institutions, families and society in general must get involved to make room for the good.\u201d<\/p>\n

On May 19, Safiyyah Firoz ,a 19-year-old student, was kidnapped shortly after leaving the premises of the Catholic University of Mozambique in Beira. She was dragged into a light vehicle by three armed individuals, and her whereabouts remain unknown.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was with great sadness that we learned of the kidnapping of our student. I would like to express my solidarity with her family, who must be suffering greatly at this time,\u201d the archbishop said.<\/p>\n

Dean of the Catholic University of Mozambique in Beira, Father Filipe Sungo, was incisive in his statements, emphasising the necessity for energetic action to combat an evil known to all, that weakens the rule of law.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to stop this economy of kidnapping, corruption, terrorism, nepotism, arrogance, dictatorship, excessive ambition, robberies, murders and other evils,\u201d Father Sungo said.<\/p>\n

Student Bernardete Zacarias gave voice to the students outraged and terrified by the kidnapping, which has shocked the city of Beira and Mozambican society in general.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very sad. Very sad indeed,\u201d she lamented, visibly moved.<\/p>\n

The mayor of Beira, Albano Macie, also spoke about the growing wave of kidnappings, the fight against which showed little sign of progress.<\/p>\n
