Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Renowned Mozambican academics Severino Ngoenha and Jose\u0301 Castiano argue that the country is going through its worst moments since Mozambique\u2019s independence. Speaking during the launch in Maputo of the book, \u201cManifesto for a Third Way\u201d, the thinkers said that the crisis should serve as an opportunity to establish true democracy.<\/p>\n

The work by the two Mozambican philosophers is a critique, and at the same time a warning about the tragedies that have put social justice and national unity at risk.<\/p>\n

The 16-year civil war and the hidden debts are, according to the authors, part of the main source of Mozambicans\u2019 unhappiness, caused by persons who lack ethics.<\/p>\n

Ngoenha and Castiano gathered dozens of people in a room in Maputo to draw attention to the need to think profoundly about Mozambique.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are in a bad moment, very bad, perhaps one of the worst we have ever experienced. Today, we may wake up with a divided Mozambique, with tribalism and regionalism the order of the day. There are many outside interests that want this. I think it\u2019s the most disastrous thing that could happen. We cannot accept this blindly. We are at a point when even the political parties are disoriented,\u201d Ngoenha said.<\/p>\n

Severino Ngoenha argues that politicians in Mozambique should be elected based on their governance projects, as opposed to what actually happens.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who put themselves forward as President of the Republic must be elected by presenting their projects, presenting what each one brings, not being elected because they were born in the south, north, centre, east or west. Education in this country is a disaster, health is worse; there is no housing, there are no schools, we are at war. Therefore, we must question what each of the candidates who want to be President of the Republic, brings, what he wants to do, what his social projects are,\u201d Ngoenha maintained.<\/p>\n

Launched in Beira in 2019, \u201cManifesto for a Third Way \u201d also reflects on the powers that some institutions accumulate.<\/p>\n

\u201cPersonally, I think that what should follow the debate is to look at the nature of institutions and how they can be reconfigured, in order to at least find consensus. When we talk about institutions, we must also talk about the values that should underlie these institutions, such as social justice,\u201d Jose\u0301 Castiano said.<\/p>\n

The philosopher\u2019s expectation is that Mozambique will have to survive with a minimum of consensus and social justice.<\/p>\n

In the book, \u201cManifesto for a Third Way\u201d, the authors outline an eight-point series of arguments, based on a reading of our young history.<\/p>\n

In effect, they argue that, for the proposal they present, including the colonial past would be contradictory, as this phase is marked by the denial of the Mozambican subject.<\/p>\n

Presenting the book in Maputo, journalist and jurist Toma\u0301s Vieira Ma\u0301rio suggested a need \u201cto go to the Machava Stadium, not to hear President Samora\u2019s speech, but to look each other in the eye and say what we want: the return of the colony or continuing the libertarian march; to say what we are willing to do to maintain our independence and define how we want to live together\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ngoenha and Castiano point out that thinking about the country, is not the task of any specific group, whether partisan or associative, but one for all Mozambicans.<\/p>\n
