Mozambique’s gas wealth – Insurgents shut down huge energy project | DW Documentary


Mozambique could be one of the world’s largest energy suppliers. Huge natural gas reserves are located off the country’s northern coast. But they are not being exploited – because of a brutal insurgency involving Islamist militants.

When giant natural gas fields were discovered off Mozambique’s coast, Western investors came in droves….

  1. What was it like in these parts of Mozambique during the COVID 19 Pandemic ? The foreign workers left , while the foreign soldiers moved in. Wasn't there any major effect?

  2. Dear Africa,

    Christianity and Islam are the means through which Africa is controlled and destroyed by outside people

    Leave both Christianity and Islam, The Africa will be prosperousv

  3. Local/indegenious peopls never get the benefits of natural gas. This is the trend in the world. The ruling elite in collaboration with private/ellite group/other govt will take away the benefits by finding the loopholes in land ownership system, fautlines among the locals. Insurgents are disheartened original dwellers of the land.

  4. 20 billion committed means there is at least 200 billion dollars plus of gas under the water. The west will never let these countries get rich and the people live like the west.

  5. How is it possible that 50% in Mozambique can neihter write nor read? Schools aren't that expensive in 2023. Smartphones are plentiful for free that can be used for all that education needs. Nor are school buildings costly when it is a hut. There is no land register, no regulations I would assume. So is it a cultural thing? I mean there is a reaosn why Africa is called the forgotten continent.

    The issue of illiteracy in countries like Mozambique is a complex and multifaceted one that cannot be attributed to a single cause. It's important to approach the topic with nuance and consider various factors, including historical, economic, social, and political dimensions. Here are some factors that contribute to the high rates of illiteracy:

    Historical Factors:

    Colonial Legacy: Colonial rule often disrupted local educational systems and focused more on serving the colonial administration rather than building broad-based educational infrastructure.

    Economic Factors:

    Poverty: Even if schools and educational materials are relatively inexpensive, the opportunity cost for families to send their children to school instead of work can be high.

    Rural Areas: In many cases, rural regions lack proper educational facilities, and the cost of traveling to urban centers for education can be prohibitive.

    Social and Cultural Factors:

    Gender Discrimination: In many areas, girls are less likely to be sent to school, affecting overall literacy rates.

    Language Barriers: In multilingual societies, the language of instruction may be different from the first language of many students, creating a barrier to learning.

    Cultural Perceptions: In some cases, there might be cultural or religious factors that discourage formal education.

    Political Factors:

    Government Spending: Insufficient government investment in education can result in poor-quality schools, inadequately trained teachers, and inadequate materials.

    Political Instability and Conflict: Countries that have faced years of civil unrest or conflict often see their education systems severely disrupted.

    Technological Barriers:

    Lack of Infrastructure: Even if smartphones are becoming more common, not everyone has access to a stable power supply and internet connectivity required to make use of educational software.

    Digital Literacy: Ownership of smartphones doesn't automatically translate to the ability to use them for educational purposes.

    Systemic Issues:

    Quality of Education: Even where schools exist, the quality of education may be poor, resulting in low literacy rates among those who do attend school.

    Teacher Shortages: In many places, there are simply not enough qualified teachers to provide education for everyone.

    It's not accurate to label this as purely a "cultural thing" or to categorize Africa as "the forgotten continent" without understanding these complexities. Addressing the problem requires a multifaceted approach that includes not only building schools but also addressing the social, economic, and systemic issues that contribute to illiteracy.

  6. Abdul rasheed ismail vayani is a terrorist he have joint recently jihadi group he belong from karachi pakistan he live in beira he is living sence 1993 in mozambique i have sent data to pakistani FIA angency but FIA have refused to enquiry him

  7. 19:09 that man had toothache and cure was removing it. That wasnsimply a makeshift dentist 🦷. Very sad because removing might create more problems if he is not taught how to take extra care that wound left after the tooth removal. This city deserves better medical care than that. More hospitals and schools, and less military spending 💰 is what Africans need.

    Mouth hygienes, please.

  8. I am Chinese citizen who used to work in Afungi site and experienced the terrible insurgency in 2021.3.24(actually site was shut down 2021.1.1 for one month due to another insurgt). I would like to say, until now I still can't forget about the faces I saw when I and my expat colleagues evacuated by car ferry and finally reahced Pemba port, hundreds of poor locals who waited and stood for days and desperately waiting for their family to be rescued from Palma. That is a real heart breaking moment. I have nothing to talk about the politics or the things behind it. I just u all konw, Mozambique people have had enough for all the sufferings. It is a beautiful country with nice people, Mozambique serve a better future. Those humble Mozambican there deserve better life. fingers crossed peace will be back soon. bless those poor Mozambicans. Amen & Inshallah.

  9. They're no even Muslim majority in Mozambique and these militant or militias as are made from somewhere and opposite that project and still African people struggling these shit militias using Religion name

  10. As a South African I am glad we only sent limited military aid this is not our fight and if Rwanda wants to send its troops I wish them luck. I hope these people make it out of these attacks alive.

  11. America France an Britain on a plot to steal Mozambiques gas resources. They stabilize the country then plunder it. Just check carefully every country in Africa with petroleum resources is unstable. Why? No you know why. The same happened in Kenya, but when the west realized that our oil was not in much…., There was no Al-shabab anymore

  12. Many of these countries have sold themselves!😂😂!! How Pathetic that French owns their resources while thousands of KM away. All because a Past greedy leader now the French own their natural resources that could’ve brought millions of their citizens out of poverty and improved the quality for life. Thank god The east Africa is much smarter they own all their resources unlike central and west Africa Nigeria owned by shell. Congo owned 2

  13. "20 billion investment."

    That's the usual fabrication and exaggeration of oil companies. We haven't seen anything that seems to cost not even one billion. They simply inflate their costs to reclaim later X times of what they've actually invested in the project.

  14. I swear the white guy from district 9 got sent there and just said basically alright guys
    will give you a job and give you money and you shoot each other, so we can make money?hows that sound. and finished his conversation thinking i still have a catfood up my sleeve.
