The Ombudsman recognizes that the institution he heads may have been inattentive in observing national mourning after the death of 98 people in Sunday’s shipwreck, by not hoisting the national flag at half stem. Still on the tragedy, Chande says that the State, if it has to be held responsible for the sinking, must be indirectly responsible because it does not have the means to monitor the entire coast. Among the institutions that fail to comply with the law on national mourning decreed by the Council of Ministers after the death of 98 people in the shipwreck on the Island of Mozambique, is the Ombudsman’s office. The entity that has the duty to ensure legality in State institutions admits having been inattentive. Regarding the tragedy, Chande says that responsibility must be shared, given the State’s limitations in monitoring the coast. The ombudsman was speaking this Thursday- fair, in the City of Maputo, during the launch of the seminar on fundamental rights and gender-based violence, where the deputy minister of Gender, Children and Social Action spoke about the current situation of women and children in Cabo Delgado. The meeting brings together entities that deal with the situation of gender-based violence, combating HIV/AIDS and drug use. The event lasts two days. Source:O País
