standards, and the Constitutional Council has requested clarification from the electoral commission on discrepancies in the vote count.</p> <p>Digital rights groups say that there have been at least five mobile internet shutdowns since Oct. 25, alongside social media shutdowns lasting several hours.</p> <p>According to the constitution, the government can force mobile phone operators to shut down internet services in cases of national emergency but the government has not declared the current unrest a national emergency.</p> <p>The #KeepItOn coalition, a global network of over 334 human rights organisations working to end internet shutdowns, urged Mozambique's authorities to<a href="https://www.accessnow.org/press-release/keepiton-authorities-in-mozambique/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> end the increasing use of shutdowns</a>.</p> <p>"Mozambican authorities' regular practice of shutting down the internet around elections and in times of political unrest must not be allowed to continue," the coalition said in a statement on Nov. 7.</p> <p>Mateus Magala, minister of transport and communications, said the recurrent internet restrictions were aimed at preventing the destruction of the country.</p> <p>"When we see violations that jeopardise the integrity of all Mozambicans in the nation we have to act as such, so that our means of communication are not used for the destruction of the country," he said on Sunday.</p> <p>For Edson Chiado, who manages a real estate business in the centre of Maputo, the shutdowns are hurting his livelihood.</p> <p>"I need the internet to work and make sales and, as it is, many things are at a standstill," said the 34-year-old, who has worked in the property sector for 10 years.</p> <p>"You always have to separate the internet, which is key to our economic life, from political matters."</p> <p></p></div><section class="ArticleBodyGoDeeper_wrapper__EZEf_"><div class="ArticleBodyGoDeeper_article__C_1oO"><div

So, in short, the internet blockage stopped programmers' work," said Marime.</p> <p>Some people have tried to use Virtual Private Networks (VPN) or free WiFi to keep their businesses going but connection was very slow and there are only three places in Maputo where free WiFi is available.</p> <p>Célio Lázaro, an activist who works on social justice and economic inclusion, said mobile phone operators should be held criminally responsible "for contributing to the limitation of citizens' rights", as well as jeopardising the livelihoods of those who depend on the internet to work.</p> <p>The country's three mobile phone operators - South Africa's Vodacom, and Mozambique's Tmcel and Movitel - have sent messages to users saying the outages were beyond their control. When contacted by Context, Vodacom and Movitel declined to comment while Tmcel did not immediately reply to a request for a comment.</p> <p>"This (the blocking of the internet) is not helping to end the protests, but rather is intensifying popular dissatisfaction," Lázaro told journalists on Monday during a press conference in Beira, in central Mozambique.</p> <p>Even as internet services are gradually being restored, Mondlane has called for a <a href="https://clubofmozambique.com/news/mozambique-mondlane-calls-for-three-day-election-protest-nationwide-watch-270497/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">new round of demonstrations</a> across the country, meaning there could be more economic pain in a country where around <a href="https://clubofmozambique.com/news/mozambique-65-of-population-lives-below-poverty-line-260369/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">65% of the population</a> live in poverty.</p> <p>The president of the Confederation of Economic Associations of Mozambique, Agostinho Vuma, said he was aware of the negative impact that the internet shutdowns were having on small businesses.</p> <p>"There's nothing we can do about it, but the situation does affect us," he said.</p> <p>($1 = 63.2700 meticais)</p> <p>(Reporting by Samuel Come; Editing by Clar Ni Chonghaile and Ana Nicolaci da Costa.)</p></div><hr class="Container_mainDivider__Y3X5_"/><section class="row"><div class="ArticleBodySignature_article__R6JeU"><div class="ArticleBodySignature_article__body__iMxON"><p>Context is powered by the Thomson Reuters Foundation Newsroom.</p><p>Our Standards: <a href="https://www.thomsonreuters.com/en/about-us/trust-principles.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"><span class="ArticleBodySignature_link__EnOFh"><u>Thomson Reuters Trust Principles</u></span></a></p></div></div></section></div></div></section><section class=" Layout_mobilePadding__qQQZO"><hr class="Divider_divider___wHDg undefined "/><div class="row"><div class="col-24"><div class="SectionTitle_wrapper__r9etq"><h2 class=" SectionTitle_title__UxTuq ">Tags</h2></div><ul class="Tags_wrapper__OoASR"><li class="Tags_item__TyHmp"><div class="Tags_btn__pDRJR ">Internet shutdowns</div></li><li class="Tags_item__TyHmp"><div class="Tags_btn__pDRJR ">Entrepreneurship</div></li><li class="Tags_item__TyHmp"><div class="Tags_btn__pDRJR ">Economic inclusion</div></li></ul></div></div></section><div class="d-none d-lg-block"><hr class="Divider_divider___wHDg undefined "/><section class="Layout_mobilePadding__qQQZO"><div class="row"><div class="col-24"><div class=""><div class="SectionTitle_wrapper__r9etq"><h2 class=" SectionTitle_title__UxTuq ">MORE ON Socioeconomic Inclusion</h2></div><div class="MoreOn_container__v1fSZ row "><div class="undefined col-xs-12 col-sm-8"><article class="MoreOn_article__oQxYe"><div class="imageContainer ImageContainer_imageContainer__MSr4b MoreOn_imageContainer__BbV6S" style="aspect-ratio:100 / 58"><a class="LinkWrapper_linkWrapper__DpMdK undefined" tabindex="-1" href="/socioeconomic-inclusion/opinion/as-trumps-victory-showed-gender-isnt-a-women-only-issue"><img alt="Supporters of Republican presidential nominee and former U.S. President Donald Trump celebrate after the Fox Network called the election in his favor at the site of his rally, at the Palm Beach County Convention Center in West Palm Beach, Florida, U.S., November 6, 2024.
