Just do some checks before travelling in the areas mentioned in the report.
HUNDREDS FLEE TETE PROVINCE AMID RENEWED FIGHTING IN MOZAMBIQUE - MALAWI REPORTS
Reports indicate that hundreds of Mozambicans are fleeing into Malawi’s Mwanza district amid growing hostilities in the neighbouring country between the government and opposition RENAMO, according to Zodiak Malawi on Saturday, July 11.
The affected areas include Mkondezi, Monjo and Angonia. Reports also indicate the hostilities are spreading to Angonia Province.
Mwanza District Council has since raised a security alert after receiving about 700 people seeking refuge there; most of them children.
Over the last couple of years Mozambique has been on the blink of a repeat of the bloody 16-year civil war that started in 1977 between the military and the opposition RENAMO.
Most of the Mozambicans fleeing into Malawi are using unchartered routes, said authorities in a first report released on Thursday, July 9, by the district council signed by district commissioner Gift Rapozo
The latest fighting comes barely a year after President Filipe Nyusi was elected as the leader of the governing FRELIMO and president of Mozambique, and shortly after the country celebrated its 40 years of self-rule from Portugal.
FRELIMO continues to face strong opposition from RENAMO as the party never accepted the 2014 October general election results and considers the outcome fraudulent.
It has boycotted parliament and is calling for autonomy in some six provinces in the country in protest.
