An activist detained by Mozambican police for alleged incitement to violence claimed to work for an NGO financed by Germany to destabilize the country. The activist, Joaquim Pachoneia, from the Mentes Resilientes Association, was arrested in Nampula for inciting violence and insulting the president and police. Police accuse him of agitating young people, insulting state leaders, and inciting attacks against recently sworn-in municipal assembly members. The activist's detention circumstances are disputed, with police stating he was arrested at the airport, contrary to claims of abduction from his home. Pachoneia's association cited threats against him for his critical social media comments. The German Embassy's response to the financing claim is pending.
