CNN manipulates viewers!!!

Recently, CNN published a report with serious charges against the Mozambican state of camouflaging operations of North Korea in violation of sanctions decreed by the United Nations. The report itself raises several elements without deepening them or doing any evidence despite mentioning being in possession of documents that so indicate. The mention of support in the installation of military radar systems with photographic and video illustration led to a little investigation of the subject given that once the images are seen for the first time, immediately recognizable the place. 

It is an installation of the TDM operator located on the Beira / Chimoio section, concretely on Mount Xiluvo. The CNN reporter clearly says both in the video and in the photo of the report on the CNN website that it is one of the North Korean-backed military radar installations. The Xiluvo station is widely known as one of TDM's telecommunications centers, which until the early 1980s was part of the telecommunications system known as Troposférico. Of this system were the stations of Maputo-Massinga-Xiluvo (the site in allusion) -Quelimane-Nampula. They will surely be reminded of the huge antennas that existed in the Sunflower building in Nampula and the old Quelimane Airport on Mount Mponduine in Namaacha and Mount Xiluvo. This obsolete systems were dismantled for over 35 years and replaced with HF technology and later by satellite and microwaves. The Monte Xiluvo site has operated to date as a point where several telecommunication links are closed not only from the incumbent fixed operator but also from mobile operators and VHF and UHF (two way radio) radio systems for several companies operating in the region.

In some places such as the Monte Xiluvo case, it is still visible by those who drive in the EN6 towards Beira Inchope or vice versa, part of the structure that supported the huge antennas of the dismantled tropospheric system.

According to CNN, this photo illustrates a military installation north of Beira where a radar system with support from North Korea would have been set up.

This is in fact a TDM telecommunications facility that has been in existence for more than 40 years, known as Monte Xiluvo. It is not to the north of Beira but to the Northwest of Beira. The photo and video were made from the EN6 approximately from the point illustrated and in which you can clearly see on the right two telecommunications towers (1 and 2) with several microwave antennas and more to the center (3) what remains of the antenna support structure of the dismantled tropospheric system and to the left a building (4). The photo of the report and the video were undoubtedly made from the EN6 road near the Xiluvo mountain. You can compare these facts through the coordinates.

The photo and video of the CNN report is undoubtedly of this center that has nothing to do with what is meant to raise the same doubts raised in relation to all the matter treated in a light and awkward way, improper of a channel that is (va) as a source of serious, credible and responsible information.
