Parliament worried about security situation in Mozambique

Earlier this week, the International Committee of the Red Cross said attacks on towns and villages in the province had intensified, forcing thousands of people to flee by foot, boat or road to the provincial capital Pemba.

"We wanted the department to explain what the implications of this conflict would be in our neighbourhood and region; and most importantly, how our diplomacy is utilised to mitigate the escalation of the conflict before it spreads all over the region,” Mahambehlala said. The SADC approach was that Mozambique should draw a roadmap, detailing the type of assistance it would require from the organisation, and that all members would accordingly see where and how they could help, said Mahambehlala.
