Domingos da Cruz: “A luta não violenta é o caminho mais adequado para Angola”

O novo livro de Domingos da Cruz, "Ferramentas para Destruir o Ditador e Evitar Nova Ditadura", foi bloqueado no aeroporto de Luanda, em Angola, pelos serviços de segurança do Estado. Trata-se de uma versão mais radical da obra que levou à detenção dos 15+2 activistas em 2015 e que seria agora apresentada em Angola. Domingos da Cruz defende a desobediência civil como caminho para mudar Angola, critica a censura ao seu livro e denuncia a dependência da oposição ao regime. RFI: Como interpreta este bloqueio do seu livro no aeroporto por parte das autoridades angolanas? Estava à espera que isto acontecesse?Domingos da Cruz: Nunca esperei nada que fosse, digamos, de acordo com a lei, com a ética, com o que é normal numa sociedade onde aqueles que estão no poder agem de acordo com os interesses dos cidadãos. Portanto, eu esperava que isso acontecesse, até porque estamos perante uma atitude que revela coerência: é mais uma vez o regime a afirmar a sua própria natureza. Seria de uma grande ingenuidade esperar o contrário. Imagine que estivéssemos em Cuba ou na Coreia do Norte e se esperasse liberdade de imprensa, direito à manifestação, liberdade de pensamento, liberdade académica e científica, seria uma contradição. E o mesmo se aplica a Angola. Portanto, tudo o que fizeram revela tão somente a natureza do próprio regime. Para mim, é perfeitamente expectável.Gostaria de esclarecer que não falo com a imprensa sobre o assunto com a intenção de me apresentar como vítima ou de fazer qualquer denúncia. Não estou a denunciar absolutamente nada. Estou simplesmente a aproveitar a oportunidade que me é concedida para informar o que sucedeu. Se estivesse a denunciar, seria ingénuo e seria contraproducente, até porque ao longo de mais de três décadas se vão fazendo denúncias e nada melhora. Pelo contrário, o país só piora em quase todos os aspectos. Na realidade, quando se vive numa ditadura, num regime autoritário, a denúncia não funciona. O que se deve fazer é construir um plano estratégico de modo a remover a ditadura. Este é o caminho certo e não o caminho do vitimismo e da denúncia.Vamos falar disso e também do seu livro, mas antes pergunto-lhe: O que pretende ao disponibilizar o livro gratuitamente em PDF do seu livro e como é que esta decisão está a ser recebida pelo público?As pessoas estão satisfeitas pelo facto de eu ter disponibilizado o PDF. A razão que me levou a tomar esta decisão tem única e exclusivamente a ver com a minha pretensão de contribuir para esse processo de libertação, para que possamos sair do cativeiro. Eu acredito na força das ideias, na capacidade criativa e transformadora que as ideias têm. Espero que as pessoas adoptem as ideias e as pratiquem, porque me parece ser o caminho para a nossa libertação. E gostaria, mais uma vez, de aproveitar este momento para dizer que estamos numa sociedade onde, cada vez mais, a situação piora. Não vejo outro caminho que não seja, de facto, a mobilização popular para a transformação de Angola de uma ditadura para uma democracia.Essa mobilização é precisamente o que apresenta no seu livro, que inclui 168 técnicas de desobediência civil, baseadas no trabalho do intelectual e activista norte-americano Gene Sharp, considerado o maior teórico da resistência não violenta. Quais considera mais aplicáveis ao contexto actual de Angola e porquê?No contexto actual, parece-me que as técnicas de subversão do ponto de vista económico são adequadas, porque estamos num momento de grande crise, o que limita o regime financeiramente para comprar o maior número possível de pessoas, como tem sido prática. Se houver, por exemplo, indisponibilidade dos cidadãos para pagar impostos, para fazer depósitos bancários, se forem retirando o dinheiro dos bancos, isso aprofundará a crise e, de alguma maneira, limitará o regime na compra de pessoas. Essa é uma técnica perfeitamente adequada ao contexto actual.Por outro lado, as pessoas podem permanecer em casa, podem fazer abaixo-assinados, podem parar de colaborar com as instituições. Aqueles que trabalham em instituições públicas podem fingir que estão a trabalhar e não trabalharem. Tudo isso viabilizará o colapso das instituições e, perante esse colapso, chegará um momento em que as pessoas se levantarão em grande número, sem dúvida.Aproveito também para dizer que a diferença entre a edição que nos levou à prisão em 2015 e esta é que esta é uma edição crítica. Por edição crítica entende-se um texto comentado por vários pesquisadores. Temos o conteúdo da edição anterior, com algumas ideias novas, mas agora associado a comentários de vários estudiosos do Brasil, de Angola, de Moçambique, da Itália, que tornam o texto muito mais rico. Essa é a grande diferença entre a [edição] anterior e esta.Trata-se de uma reedição que acontece 10 anos depois daquela que talvez tenha sido a sua obra mais falada e conhecida, pelo menos em Angola.Sim, sim. Dez anos depois. Por acaso, não obedeceu a nenhum cálculo. Depois de tudo o que aconteceu, muitos já sabem, eu não tinha qualquer motivação para voltar ao livro. Mas, tendo em conta a degradação em que o regime se encontra e a situação geral do país, do ponto de vista económico e social, levou-me a pensar que é oportuno reeditar a obra. Ela afirma uma convicção profunda que tenho: acho que o caminho da luta não violenta, da desobediência civil, que sintetiza todas as técnicas que acabou de referir, parece-me ser efectivamente o caminho mais adequado para Angola.Se optássemos pela violência, de alguma forma estaríamos a contradizer a ética, por um lado, e a democracia que desejamos construir, por outro. Além disso, colocar-nos-íamos na mesma posição daqueles que estão no poder: seríamos todos violentos, do mesmo nível moral. Quem luta por uma democracia deve colocar-se numa posição de diferença, não só do ponto de vista ético, mas também discursivo. É óbvio que existem vários caminhos para a libertação, mas a violência colocar-nos-ia numa posição de grande desvantagem e haveria pouca possibilidade de vitória. Acho que a luta não violenta é o caminho mais adequado. Continuo a acreditar profundamente nisso, embora reconheça outras possibilidades.Domingos da Cruz, decorreram 10 anos desde o caso que levou à prisão dos 15+2 activistas, de que fez parte. Este julgamento terá sido provavelmente o mais mediático, ou um dos mais mediáticos, em Angola. O que mudou no país desde então? Considera que o actual regime de João Lourenço representa uma continuidade ou houve mudança em relação à repressão do tempo de José Eduardo dos Santos?Relativamente à repressão, houve continuidade, claramente. Não há dúvidas quanto a isso. Gostava de apresentar alguns exemplos simples. Tal como José Eduardo dos Santos fazia, qualquer tentativa de protesto é hoje reprimida pelo seu sucessor. E quando digo “seu sucessor”, baseio-me no que diz o nosso quadro legal. De acordo com a Constituição da República de Angola, o responsável pelos serviços de defesa e segurança é o Presidente da República. O ministro do Interior, da Defesa, os serviços secretos, todos agem a mando do Presidente. Aliás, temos uma das constituições que confere poderes excessivos ao Presidente.E não se trata apenas de reprimir. No caso de João Lourenço, ele aprofundou algo inédito: matar à luz do dia. Tivemos a morte de um activista numa manifestação em Luanda, por exemplo. E depois houve o caso das Lundas, onde foram assassinadas mais de 100 pessoas. Há um relatório publicado por organizações da sociedade civil angolana que descreve claramente esse drama.Falando de outros direitos; políticos, económicos e sociais, os indicadores mostram que a situação do país se degrada a cada dia. Houve também oportunidade para a sociedade civil fazer uma autocrítica e perceber que o método da denúncia é um erro, até mesmo do ponto de vista histórico. Imagine, na época colonial, se os nossos antepassados se limitassem a denunciar, provavelmente ainda estaríamos sob colonização. O que se deve fazer, na verdade, é tomar uma posição para pôr fim ao regime. E as técnicas de luta não violenta adequam-se perfeitamente para pôr fim ao nosso cativeiro. Mais de três décadas de denúncias não resolveram absolutamente nada. Os indicadores estão ali, quando se olha para os relatórios de instituições como as Nações Unidas, a Freedom House, Repórteres Sem Fronteiras, Mo Ibrahim Foundation, entre outras, todos demonstram que não saímos do mesmo lugar.Fala da sociedade civil e da oposição. Qual deve ser, a seu ver, o papel da oposição política, da sociedade civil e da juventude angolana na luta contra a repressão e na construção de uma democracia real?É preciso estabelecer uma diferença clara entre a oposição partidária e a luta cívica feita pela sociedade civil e pela juventude, como acaba de referir. A minha única esperança sincera está no povo. Primeiro, o povo deve tomar consciência de que está sozinho no mundo, literalmente abandonado. Vivemos num país com uma elite conectada ao capitalismo internacional, às grandes corporações, às potências ocidentais. É um regime que viabiliza a extração de recursos e beneficia o Ocidente.Internamente, o regime também beneficia a oposição partidária, o que significa que o povo é a única vítima disto tudo. A sociedade é que deve levantar-se. Não vejo um milímetro, não vejo um centímetro de esperança vindo da política partidária. Dou-lhe um exemplo simples: não conheço parte alguma do mundo onde se possa fazer oposição dependendo financeiramente do regime contra o qual se luta. A nossa lei dos partidos políticos confere financiamento vindo do Orçamento Geral do Estado aos partidos da oposição. E como, em Angola, o MPLA se confunde com o Estado, porque o capturou, significa que os partidos da oposição dependem literalmente do MPLA para sobreviverem. Para terem arroz e feijão na mesa, para cuidarem da sua saúde, para mandarem os filhos à escola ou comprarem um bilhete de avião, dependem do regime. Não é possível fazer oposição assim.Como dizia Thomas Sankara: quem te alimenta, controla-te, manipula-te. Por outro lado, temos uma oposição viciada, corrupta e envelhecida. Psicologicamente, não se pode esperar muito de velhos. Não é dos velhos que virá a revolução.

Across the globe, many people see democracy retreating and authoritarianism on the rise. In places as diverse as India, Hungry, Niger, El Salvador, and even right here in the United States, people of all political background are concerned about the state of their democracy, even if their reasons for worry differ. From attacks on courts, to the accumulation of executive power, and the takeover of institutions, many countries have see their democracies weaken, while many others have seen their democracies completely overthrown (at least 32 coup d'état's since 2010, and many more attempts, around the world).  Freedom House has marked overall democratic decline for the past 19 years based on their global metrics, while countless articles have been written about democratic backsliding around the world.In this month's episode, we discuss the state of democracy around the world with Dr. Henry Thomson of Arizona State University. Throughout this conversation, we cover the pathways to democratic decline and dive into the trends that the world is currently experiencing, while putting this discussion in historical context. In addition, we talk about what lessons pro-democracy forces can learn from the transitions that other countries have made away from authoritarian styles of government. It is important to remember that at one point in time, all countries were under authoritarian forms of government. Dr. Henry Thomson is an Associate Professor in the School of Politics and Global Studies at Arizona State University. He is a political economist with a research focus on economic development, authoritarian rule, and transitions to democracy.He is the author of two books, Watching the Watchers: Communist Elites, the Secret Police and Social Order in Cold War Europe (New York: Cambridge University Press, 2024) and Food and Power: Regime Type, Agricultural Policy and Political Stability (New York: Cambridge University Press, 2019).Before joining ASU, Thomson was a Postdoctoral Prize Research Fellow at Nuffield College, Oxford. He completed his PhD in Political Science at the University of Minnesota. His doctoral dissertation won the 2015 Juan Linz Prize for the Best Dissertation in the Comparative Study of Democratization from the American Political Science Association. He has been a visiting scholar at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, at Australian National University, and at the German Institute for Global and Area Studies in Berlin.Professor Thomson teaches classes on Democratization, Political Economy, International Political Economy, and social science research design.

The North African country of Sudan marks two years of war this week. The fighting between rival military factions – the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces – has killed an estimated 150,000 people and forced more than 15 million people from their homes. Almost 25 million people face acute hunger, according to United Nations agencies. It's the world's worst humanitarian crisis. How did Sudan get to this point? What's the current state of play in Sudan, and where does the country -- and the international community trying to support it -- go from here? Joining the show to answer some of these crucial questions two years into the war in Sudan is Quscondy Abdulshafi. He is a Senior Regional Advisor at Freedom House and has more than a decade of experience working on governance, democracy, and human rights in Africa and the United States.  Show Notes:Quscondy Abdulshafi's article for Just Security, "Two Years of War in Sudan: From Revolution to Ruin and the Fight to Rise Again"Just Security Podcast episode “Assessing the Origins, Dynamics, and Future of Conflict in Sudan” with Executive Editor Matiangai Sirleaf, and three experts, Laura Nyantung Beny, Nisrin Elamin, Hamid Khalafallah, on Oct. 11, 2024.  Just Security Sudan ArchiveMusic: “Broken” by David Bullard from Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/t/david-bullard/broken (License code: OSC7K3LCPSGXISVI)

Tajikistan has been acknowledged by Freedom House as one of the worst human rights violators for years, but 2025 has seen Tajik authorities take repression to new levels. Eight former government officials and political opposition figures were convicted at a closed-door trial of plotting a coup and given lengthy prison sentences. In addition, a journalist was convicted of treason for reporting on Tajik citizens' opinions on Chinese influence in their country, and the OSCE said it would not observe Tajikistan's March 2 parliamentary elections because Tajik authorities failed to give assurances of accreditation. Joining host Bruce Pannier to discuss events in Tajikistan in early 2025 are guests Muhamadjon Kabirov, editor at Azda.tv, a media outlet run by exile Tajik journalists; Edward Lemon, the president of the Washington-based Oxus Society for Central Asian Affairs; and Steve Swerdlow, a rights lawyer who is currently an associate professor at the University of Southern California.

Kevin Hazzard Author of A Thousand Naked Strangers and American Sirens (you can find these on Amazon or wherever books are sold). You can find Kevin Hazzard at KevinHazzard.comKevin talks about the story Jesus told of the good Samaritan as really the first example of EMS. Jesus tells this story in response to a lawyer asking him how to obtain eternal life. A man was attacked on the road and left for dead. Many people that society perceives as “good” pass by this man but a Samaritan took the time to stop, dress his wounds and takes him somewhere to put a roof over his head and allow him to healKevin talks about how society has never put sustained efforts into saving people outside of the hospital until the 60'sThe white paper published in the 60's indicated that you were more likely to survive a gunshot wound in the Vietnam war than in the streets of the United States because you would have someone trained in first aid at your sideThere was significant emphasis on intubation for early paramedics. This was a skill very important to the early physicians because they knew the life saving potential We talk about the evolution of intubation and how emphasis seems to be changing and the important of still training on this skill because it can be very difficult and high stressI think it is important to increase training rather than remove a skill set from paramedicsWe talk about video options for intubation and the potential future of trainingThe first paramedics in American Sirens were black men that served their community called “The Hill”Pittsburgh in the 1960's was a very difficult city for African Americans. Jobs were not available. They were told they had no value. Then Freedom House ambulance gave them a purpose designed by the father of CPR himself, Peter SafarGoing from not worthy of anything to being trusted with paramedicine at the highest level for your own neighbors, your own communityThe first call they run is in the aftermath of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's assassinationPeter Safar, the father of CPR and an anesthesiologist, designed the early ambulances in a configuration that is still used today, a captains chair because he wanted good access to the airwayTheir first medical director, Nancy Caroline, wrote the foundational EMT education text bookThe great tragedy is no one can really tell you about Freedom House ambulance until now, the story was intentionally buried and forgotten“This need to be corrected,” Kevin Hazzard tells the important storySupport the showFull show notes can be found here: Episodes - Practical EMS - Content for EMTs, PAs, ParamedicsMost efficient online EKG course here: Practical EKG Interpretation - Practical EMS earn 4 CME and learn the fundamentals through advanced EKG interpretation in under 4 hours.

Extreme political parties, irresponsible leaders and democratic disillusionment also play key roles, and are eating away at the heart of our political systems. Join Nic Cheeseman as he talks to Rachel Kleinfeld about the five strategies that can reduce political violence, the distinctive approach that has to be taken in polarised democracies, and why more aggressive forms of protest against populist and anti-system movements may only make matters worse. Rachel Kleinfeld is a senior fellow in Carnegie's Democracy, Conflict, and Governance Program. Her influential work on troubled democracies facing problems such as polarized populations, violence, corruption, and poor governance bridges the United States and international cases. In addition to her research and analysis, Kleinfeld is known for in actively seeking practical solutions to today's problems.
