 The Council of Ministers (Cabinet) on Tuesday approved a resolution granting Transport and Communications Minister Paulo Zucula powers to negotiate on behalf of the Mozambican government amendments to the concession for the management of the port of Nacala, in the northern province of Nampula.

 The Council of Ministers (Cabinet) on Tuesday approved a resolution granting Transport and Communications Minister Paulo Zucula powers to negotiate on behalf of the Mozambican government amendments to the concession for the management of the port of Nacala, in the northern province of Nampula.
As a result, Zucula will have the power to negotiate with the concessionaries the terms for private investment for the rehabilitation, operation and management of port's infrastructure, to safeguard Mozambique's interests in the management of the infrastructure at Nacala.
The port of Nacala is currently under the spotlight because it is seen as the route for the export of coal extracted in Moatize, in the western province of Tete.
Nacala is regarded as the best deep water ports on the east African coast as it can accommodate ships of any size and, unlike the ports at Beira and Maputo, it does not need dredging. Currently it is underused, but with investment it could handle up to 50 million tonnes of coal exports a year.
During the meeting, the Cabinet also discussed an action plan for professional training focused primarily on the country's megaprojects.
Deputy Education Minister with responsibility for Vocational Training, Leda Hugo, explained that "this action plan aims to cover the shortage of skilled labour and to allow a larger number of Mozambicans to take advantage of the existing employment opportunities".
"This action plan, which is embodied in the strategic plan for education, will use the training opportunities available across the country, including those provided by private companies, particularly those associated with megaprojects", said Hugo, cited by the daily newspaper "O Pais".
The Council of Ministers also adopted a resolution ratifying a loan agreement between the Mozambican government and the Exim Bank of China, totalling 14.7 million US dollars to finance a distance learning project.

KNOW YOUR BODY PARTS: The Liver The liver is a vital organ located in the right upper abdomen, playing a crucial role in metabolism, detoxification, and digestion. It’s the largest solid organ in the body and is responsible for filtering blood, maintaining blood sugar levels, regulating clotting, and synthesizing essential proteins. The liver also stores energy, removes toxins, and produces bile, which aids in digestion Liver functions: · Metabolism and Detoxification: The liver processes nutrients from the blood, breaks down and balances them, and creates essential substances for the body. It detoxifies harmful substances like drugs and alcohol, converting them into less toxic forms for excretion. The liver plays a role in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It stores glycogen (a form of glucose) and vitamins, releasing them when the body needs them. · Digestion: The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to help digest fats. Bile also helps in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. · Blood Regulation: The liver regulates blood sugar levels by storing and releasing glucose. It synthesizes clotting factors, which are essential for blood clotting. It removes old red blood cells and processes bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown. · Other Functions: The liver plays a role in immunity, helping to fight off infections. It produces proteins that are involved in the immune response. The liver also stores iron and other essential minerals. Frequently Asked Questions About The Liver · What are the first signs of a bad liver? The initial signs of liver problems can be vague and subtle, often including fatigue, nausea, and loss of appetite. As the liver’s condition worsens, more specific symptoms may emerge, such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), itchy skin, dark urine, and light-colored stools. Abdominal pain, especially in the upper right quadrant, can also indicate liver issues. · Where do you feel liver pain? Liver pain is typically felt in the upper right abdomen, just beneath the rib cage. It can manifest as a dull, throbbing pain, a stabbing sensation, or a general feeling of discomfort in that area. In some cases, liver pain might be felt as an ache in the right shoulder or back. · What does liver pain feel like? How liver pain feels can vary from person to person, depending on the cause. However, most people often develop one or more of the following symptoms: Dull, persistent aches in the upper abdomen A feeling of fullness or bloating Sharp, stabbing pains that come and go Tenderness when the upper abdomen is touched · What is the best way to cleanse your liver? If you haven’t been working out, start indulging in a regular exercise regime to allow the toxins to come out of your body. Yoga, going running, hitting the gym, or a simple sauna session can also prove effective. If you want a natural liver cleanse, sweating is the way to go. · How to know if the liver is swollen? What are the symptoms of an enlarged liver? You likely won’t notice an enlarged liver on your own. In some severe cases, you might notice a feeling of bloating or fullness in your belly or an ache in your upper right abdomen. · What is the best drink to flush your liver? Many citrus fruits, including lemon, can be added to water to help stimulate and flush out the liver. Lemons are high in nutrients like vitamin C and antioxidants
