On the other side of the network, new kinds of audiences are being formed. A tragédia já ocorreu, agora é a altura das estatísticas. Quantos mortos, quantos funerais, quantas brigadas da Frelimo no terreno, quantos kits de comida a distribuir amanhã, quantas crianças desaparecidas. Através da Rádio Moçambique, a directora clínica do Hospital Central de Maputo, por exemplo, afirmou há momentos que agora são 101 mortos.

We have all heard the recent cries of Britney Spears (if you shop at a grocery store you have not been able to escape them), but how many of us have heard those of our brothers and sisters in Kinshasa or Mozambique? Ears to Hear - The Margins [...] […] Mozambicans are still counting the casualties, and it seems that Lusophone bloggers will follow closely the reports, the inquiries and the coverage presented by the media on the developments in Maputo’s arms depot blasts.
