Mozambican justice is still silent on the case of the young man who lost his eye during the violent police repression of the march in honor of rapper Azagaia, a year later.

"As far as the situation on the 18th is concerned, practically nothing has happened yet. What I do know is that the case left the Attorney General's Office and went to the City Attorney's Office," Inocêncio Manhique explained to MZNews.

"The state knows the people who have wronged me and the state doesn't want to punish them because there is a higher order behind all these things," says Manhique.

It was precisely on the morning of March 18, a Saturday, that Mozambican police officers claimed to have "superior orders", which have never been clarified, to fire on groups who wanted to hold peaceful marches, previously announced to the municipal authorities.

Three months after the incident, Inocêncio filed a criminal complaint with the Public Prosecutor's Office, demanding accountability from the police and compensation of 350 million meticais.

A year has passed since the episode, but Manhique believes that the sense of injustice will continue to prevail in the face of the authorities' inertia.

"I prefer to believe that the case won't go ahead... Mrs. Beatriz Buchil had to be behind all of this because she was one of the first people to appear in public saying that there were four agents and so far no cases have been brought against any of those agents," she laments.

Time has passed, but Inocencio continues to suffer from pain, and admits that he is afraid to have treatment in public hospitals. He also explains that he has one of the most expensive lives of late, as he is forced to resort to private clinics for treatment.

"The ones who have saved me most of the time are activists, people of good faith, and some work I've done," since the state has not been responsible for any damage, not even hospital care.

Inocêncio, who, as well as being a social activist, is now a member of the municipal assembly for the Movimento Democrático de Mocambique (MDM) in the country's capital, promises to speak out and travel the world to denounce what he considers to be abuses and injustices perpetrated, according to him, by the gang-starized state.
