In this DeepPressAnalysis podcast episode, we trace the clinical death of Mozambique's institutions, which began in April 2016 when the IMF uncovered $2 billion in hidden sovereign guarantees. We dive deep into the predatory loan pushing by international banks that used a fake national tuna fishing fleet as a front for monumental fraud. You'll learn how multinational energy companies operate offshore gas camps entirely detached from the dying local economy, guarded by Rwandan military forces funded by the EU. Meanwhile, unpoliced deep-water ports like Nacala and Pemba have morphed into the "heroin coast," moving illicit narcotics to sustain a microscopic political elite in Maputo. Tune in to understand how the hollowed-out nation has become a perfectly engineered, highly replicable 21st-century business model for foreign private militaries and transnational cartels.
