The Youth Parliament will present a lecture in Maputo tomorrow on the theme “Thinking Mozambique” as part of a plan to promote inclusive and tolerant reflection on the current political, economic and social development of the country.

A Youth Parliament statement sent to Noticias says that the meeting aims to gather together various points of view and recommend alternative measures to restore peace, democracy and good governance in the country.

According to the youth rights and priorities advocacy movement, the political, economic and social situation in the country is undermining harmony and stability.

“It is of national concern that after many years as an example of peaceful reconciliation and economic growth, the country is being ravaged by a major economic and social crisis,” the document reads.

More than 200 participants are expected to attend the conference, among them young people, national political actors, state and government bodies, civil society organisations, representatives of religious groups, civil rights activists, academics, private sector representatives, formal sector workers, diplomats, journalists, socio-professional associations and social networking activists.

The meeting will be moderated by the Dean of the Technical University of Mozambique, Severino Ngoenha and two main themes will be addressed: “The cost of peace and democracy in Mozambique” and “Monitoring the dialogue for peace and the situation in the country – the way forward”.

Frelimo parliamentary spokesman Edmundo Galiza Matos, head of Renamo parliamentary bench Ivone Soares, MDM deputy Sande Carmona and social activist Egidio Vaz will speak in the first debate.

The second panel will include Rev. Carlos Matsinhe, Bishop of the Anglican Church, dean of the Faculty of Sciences at Socais Pedagogical University Bento Rupia and Erick Charas, director of “A Verdade” newspaper.
