Quarenta anos após a conquista da independência, a 25 de Junho de 1975, Moçambique continua a viver sob um clima de incerteza política em que os dois principais partidos, a Frelimo e a Renamo, estão quase sempre em conflito. Com efeito, após cerca de vinte anos de relativa paz, resultante da assinatura do Acordo Geral de Paz (AGP) em Roma, em 1992, que pôs fim a um conflito militar de quase dezasseis anos (1977-1992), o País voltou a viver momentos dramáticos entre 2013 e 2014, quando os dois beligerantes se confrontaram de novo militarmente.

Ces dix dernières années, le Mozambique est devenu une cible privilégiée de la ruée mondiale vers les terres. Les investissements croissants dans les secteurs de l’exploitation minière, des hydrocarbures, des plantations de forêts et de l’agriculture industrielle visent le plus souvent des terres rurales qui, en vertu du droit coutumier, sont détenues par les communautés locales. En découlent de fréquents conflits entre les communautés et les investisseurs.

The Voluntary Guidelines for the Sustainable Management of Natural Tropical Forests constitute an international reference document for the development and improvement of national and subnational guidelines for the sustainable management of natural tropical forests.

Nous n'héritons pas de la terre de nos parents, nous l'empruntons à nos enfants. Cette conception de la relation de l'homme à la terre est encore plus prégnante dans les traditions africaines où "la terre appartient à une grande famille, dont beaucoup de membres sont morts, quelques-uns sont vivants et dont le plus grand nombre est encore à naître". Le phénomène d'acquisition massive des terres a pris ces dernières années, une ampleur effrayante.

El objetivo del artículo será sistematizar y analizar algunas de las discusiones, planteadas como conflictos entre actores específicos, emergentes a partir de la propuesta de explotación del hierro a través de la megaminería en Uruguay. La discusión, lejos de querer analizarse en una clave simplista “megaminería si / megaminería no”, pretende abordar algunas de las implicancias de este tipo de proyecto a nivel sociopolítico, desde la perspectiva de las ciencias sociales.
