The former Mozambican President Armando Guebuza believes just the impatience of those who want “solutions to yesterday” and rejects a progressive separation between the political leaders and the population, noting the impact of 16 years of war in the country’s development.
“As human beings, we are impatient, it’s just that so be it, that’s what drives us, and impatience makes us want solutions for tomorrow, not for yesterday and was not yesterday, then so be it today, “he said in an interview with Lusa Amando Guebuza, President of the Republic for ten years until last January 15.
” People are impatient, want more “insists the elder statesman, rejecting the Frelimo (Mozambique Liberation Front), the ruling party in Mozambique and that led to the end of March, has moved away from its goals over the past four decades.
Mozambicans know, according to Guebuza, two years after independence, the country plunged into war “that killed a million people and destroyed everything” and then “immediately started the reconstruction.”
“Today we have schools in almost everywhere,” says the former President, emphasizing that “the goals are there,” although made “to the extent that resources and circumstances allow.”
Similarly, rejects the analysis that the leaders of the government and its party are to move away from the interests of citizens, noting that “the contact is still extremely strong among the ruling class and the population” of more than 20 million inhabitants, “dispersed in a very big country with infrastructure that can not facilitate communication in terms of radio, television, roads and bridges.”
“The torch movement [which replicates this year the Flame Unit used in 1975 to go through all the provinces of the country] is there, the people are there, is a strong contact that, “argues Armando Guebuza, who attributes the presence of crowds to the media, but also” to leaders who are there. “
The Comprehensive Peace Agreement, negotiated by him in 1992 in Rome with the Renamo (Mozambique National Resistance), also did not bring an end to threats to stability.
The parties returned to a military confrontation for 17 months in the central region, to a new understanding of cessation of hostilities concluded on September 5, 2014, between the opposition leader and Guebuza in As President of the Republic and already in lame duck, just before an election that Renamo does not recognize.
“Even after finding a solution, always missing something here and there,” says former head of state on the subject of persistent political instability with the opposition and that “it seems completely undermine what has been achieved”.
“I do not think put,” said Guebuza, giving as example the environment in Parliament, where deputies of the three benches drink coffee together after their parliamentary discussions.
“So much has been achieved, what happens is commuting accidents and we must continue to fight with patience to not happen, “like a plane facing turbulence” but eventually reach the runway and land without problems, “argues the former political leader, who calls for a” change of attitude “in the name of harmony in Mozambique.
And the difference of opinion turns out to be, too, is an achievement of four decades of independence.
“It is certainly our identity, which is not monolithic, as in [former Soviet President Leonid] Brezhnev, our identity is based precisely and strongly in diversity,” says the former head of the Mozambican state .
