Mozambique: Bodies of 12 alleged foreigners buried under a mango tree in Palma – Watch

Screen grab: TVM

The bodies of 12 [alleged] foreigners, who presumably worked for Total companies, are buried in front of the Amarula hotel, in the destroyed town of Palma, Rádio Televisão Portuguesa reported this morning. Mozambique’s TVM brings a similar report.

RTP’s special reporters, including Pedro Martins and Gabriel dos Santos, surveyed several sites plundered and destroyed by the terrorists, who left a trail of death and destruction along the way.

A total of twelve bodies were buried under a huge mango tree, just over a hundred metres from the main door of the Amarula hotel in Palma.

“They were white, twelve white people. They were all foreigners. I don’t know, I can’t tell you their nationalities, but they were white people. I was the one directing the burial,” a man interviewed in the report, wearig a bullet proof jacket and presumably a member of the FDS says.

[It should be noted that there are Mozambican citizens of all colours, white included].

“Were they [killed] at the hotel or here?” the RTP journalist asks.

“No, do you see all these shapes?” the man replies, pointing to the ground. “They were beheaded, here”.

After the report of seven killed in the flight from the Aamarula, now comes the report of these 12 persons, found with their hands tied, beheaded, and in an advanced state of decomposition.

The hotel was completely looted. It remains to be determined by whom – the insurgents or the population. Neither were state buildings, the police station and the health centre spared. Some commercial stores and private residences were also destroyed by the terrorists.

Meanwhile, TVM reports below, that the bodies were buried on the day before the report was made, presumably on Wednesday or Tuesday.
