Mosambik

[Schneemann]

Die schwelenden Unruhen in Mosambik, die sich bislang vor allem in den Zentralprovinzen des Landes sowie teils im Norden und entlang des zentralen Nord-Süd-Highways (N1) abspielten, wandern offenkundig allmählich nach Süden in die Inhambane Provinz (Distrikt Homoíne) aus - und sind damit beinahe unmittelbar nordöstlich der Hauptstadt Maputo "angelangt". Dies hat nun offenbar zu ersten Panik- und Fluchtreaktionen unter der dortigen Landbevölkerung geführt. Berichte über Gefechte bzw. deren Verlauf sind allerdings nur sehr schwer zu belegen und mit Vorsicht zu genießen.

Mozambique: Homoíne - Ghosts of the Massacre, Again!

The undeclared war that started in 2013 in central Mozambique and having spread, briefly, to the north, has evolved into the southern region of the country. Populations from the communities of Homoíne district, in Inhambane province, are in a state of panic since last week and have left their homes looking for peace in the main village of Homoín […]

Information put into circulation since last week reports that in the localities of Phembe, Fanha-Fanha, among others, in Homoíne district, there is presence of armed men allegedly from Renamo. Due to this information, residents have fearfully abandoned their homes, goods and animals. Early on Tuesday afternoon, popular reports were that there were clashes in Phembe region, between the Afonso Dhlakama guerrilla's party and government defense and security forces. However, the Ministry of Defense (MDN) neither confirms nor denies that such an event has happened, but, however, confirms the presence of the military.
