Covid-19: Militar mata adolescente por não usar máscara

.


A polícia angolana tem sido acusada de uso excessivo de força durante o estado de emergência, que Angola cumpre desde 27 de março, para conter a pandemia de covid-19.

Por seu lado, as autoridades policiais têm reportado atos de desobediência e mesmo agressões físicas dos cidadãos aos agentes.




Um adolescente foi morto por um soldado das Forças Armadas Angolanas (FAA), por alegadamente se insurgir contra o uso de máscara, anunciou hoje o Ministério do Interior (Minint) angolano.


Segundo um comunicado da delegação provincial do Minint da Lunda Norte, o homicídio ocorreu hoje pelas 10:00 no bairro Domingos Vaz, na comuna do Iongo, município de Xá-Muteba.


O rapaz de 17 anos foi baleado por, alegadamente, se insurgir contra o soldado durante uma ação de sensibilização para o uso de máscaras, como medida preventiva contra a pandemia provocada pelo novo coronavírus.


Em retaliação, a esquadra local foi vandalizada pela população, que queimou “alguns meios que lá se encontravam”, acrescentou o Minint.

O autor do disparo, um soldado das FAA pertencente à 75.ª Brigada de Infantaria do Luzamba, “já se encontra a contas com a justiça”, adiantou a nota.


Nos últimos dias, dois jovens foram mortos pela polícia angolana em tentativas de dispersão de aglomerações.

Na quinta-feira, um jovem de 14 anos foi vítima de um disparo da polícia, quando dispersava populares na praia das Tombas, em Benguela.


No sábado, um outro jovem, de 21 anos, morreu na sequência de disparos efetuados por efetivos policiais, para dispersar um ajuntamento de pessoas na zona do Rocha Pinto, em Luanda.


De acordo com a polícia, os cidadãos “partiram para agressão contra as forças da ordem, arremessando paus, pedras e garrafas”, mas familiares do jovem alegam ter sido morto porque não estava a usar máscara.

Under this first phase of the AWLF Initiative’s implementation, funding will be allocated to asset managers across North, East, Southern and West Africa. Allocations will be made with a view to achieving the best possible regional and geographic diversification.

Applicants must be female, reside in Africa or be willing to relocate to Africa, and need to have proven fund- or asset-management experience. They will be subject to an investment and operational due-diligence process that will need to be completed by the end of August 2020, with the first phase of the fund becoming fully operational in the fourth quarter of this year.
The second phase of the fund’s launch will be announced at a later stage and investments will be made into women-owned or women-managed private equity funds. The third phase will target first-time women fund managers through an Emerging Manager Seed Capital Programme.
