Le � cas � Cardoso au Mozambique
: la violence et la corruption en proc�s
Assassin� en pleine rue � Maputo le 22 novembre 2000, Carlos Cardoso �tait consid�r�
comme un des meilleurs journalistes du pays. Mozambicain d’origine portugaise, il
dirigeait depuis 1997 le Metical, journal reconnu pour son s�rieux et son ind�pendance.
Presque deux ans jour pour jour apr�s le meurtre, le proc�s des six hommes accus�s de
l’assassinat s’ouvrait � Maputo. Pendant trois mois, ce proc�s a tenu en
haleine l’ensemble de la population mozambicaine, faisant se succ�der les
r�v�lations sur les liens entre l’�lite politique et les r�seaux mafieux et
criminels. Dans un jeu subtil entre le pouvoir, les bailleurs de fonds et la soci�t�
civile, l’affaire Cardoso est devenue un � cas � unique dans l’histoire du
pays et du continent africain.
