In the dozens of countries where the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank have imposed structural adjustment programs (SAPs), the people who have seen deterioration in their standards of living, reduced access to public services, devastated environments, and plummeting employment prospects have not been passive. The pages of newspapers, magazines, and academic journals (those that can survive in depressed economies) have been filled with damning analysis of structural adjustment. More important, people have been organizing to combat the pillaging of their lands and livelihoods. This organizing has resulted in mass movements and protests on every continent, but they are not often reported on in the mainstream press.

44 ARE KILLED IN CRASH OF MOZAMBIQUE PLANE

Published: April 1, 1986

A Mozambican Air Force plane crashed and burst into flames on takeoff, killing 44 people, Mozambique's official press agency reported today. The dead included a founder of the rebel movement that successfully fought Portuguese colonial rule.

The crash, the worst such disaster in Mozambique's history, occurred Sunday at the Indian Ocean town of Pemba, the Mozambican News Agency said. Five people survived, but all were seriously injured, the agency said.

The agency, quoting a Government statement, said the dead included Maria Chipande, wife of Defense Minister Gen. Alberto Chipande and a founder of the Mozambique Liberation Front. The guerrilla movement fought Portuguese rule for a decade and became Frelimo, the ruling party, after Mozambique became independent in 1975.

The agency said the cause of the crash appeared to be engine trouble. The plane, a Soviet-made Antonov 26, crashed and burned a few hundred yards from the end of the runway in Pemba, it said.
