Mozambican Newsman Added to U.S Monument to Slain JournalistsThe name of the late Mozambican newsman Carlos Cardoso has been inscribed on a monument to slain journalists located just outside the United States capital, the Radio Mozambique reported on Friday.The ceremony marking the addition of 26 new names to the Journalists Monument took place on Thursday, at a complex that includes a museum dedicated to the history of the news media. Sponsored by an organization called the Freedom Forum, it is located in Arlington, Virginia, across the Potomac River from Washington. Nearly 1,400 names are already inscribed on the monument, among them only one other Mozambican Pedro Tivane, killed in a 1984 ambush during the country's civil war. Carlos Cardoso, editor of the independent Metical bulletin, was gunned down on a Maputo street last November. |
