Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Residents of the Unidade Communal Marien Ngouabi, in the Muhala administrative post on the outskirts of Nampula in the north of the country, have invaded a local cemetery and are disturbing the eternal rest of the deceased by erecting dwellings there.<\/p>\n

The new residents consider the situation quite normal, and have no intention of leaving the place, Ana Alberto, who has lived in the cemetery for three years, said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI arrived in this area out of desperation and without a place to live. I have been in this area since 2019. I am unemployed and I practice informal commerce to, at least, get a suitable place to live,\u201d he said. But he admitted: \u201cMany young people use this cemetery for drug use and other things at night.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another citizen who decided to build her house among the tombs is young Nat\u00e9rcia Jos\u00e9. She is only there because of her husband, she says, adding: \u201cI am not happy that some people use the graves to carry out various activities. I have two children, and I will not let them play here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cust\u00f3dio Alfredo, another cemetery resident, says the biggest concern is the young people who use the place for drug consumption.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have no other option, that\u2019s why I\u2019m here, close to the graves. Our situation is regrettable and painful, because the evildoers, after practising their activities in the dead of night, take refuge in this cemetery as their hiding place,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

F\u00e1tima Ali, the head of the block where the cemetery is located, concedes that the situation is worrying, and says people have been urging the residents to leave.<\/p>\n
