Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Human Rights Watch (HRW) said on Friday that the European Union (EU) High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Josep Borrell, on a visit to Mozambique, should advocate for accountability of those committing abuses in Cabo Delgado.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe EU leader should prioritise rights during his visit to Mozambique,\u201d reads a statement issued by HRW.<\/p>\n

During the trip, which ended on Saturday, \u201cthe EU\u2019s foreign policy chief failed to mention a key component of this response [to the situation in Cabo Delgado]: accountability,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

The organisation advocates humanitarian aid and human rights training as priorities, areas in which the EU already supports Mozambique along with military training.<\/p>\n

However, HRW questions the lack of references to the application of justice regarding the violation of human rights.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Mozambican authorities should investigate human rights abuses by state security forces as well as the group linked to ISIS [Islamic State] and prosecute those implicated in fair trials to ensure justice for the victims of this conflict,\u201d it concludes.<\/p>\n

Cabo Delgado province is rich in natural gas but has been terrorised since 2017 by armed violence, with some attacks claimed by the extremist group Islamic State.<\/p>\n

The insurgency has led to a military response since a year ago by forces from Rwanda and the Southern African Development Community (SADC), liberating districts near gas projects but leading to a new wave of attacks in other areas, closer to Pemba, the provincial capital, and in Nampula province.<\/p>\n

There are about 800,000 internally displaced people due to the conflict, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM), and about 4,000 deaths, according to the ACLED conflict registration project.<\/p>\n

Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi said this week that at least six people have died since 31 August in a new wave of incursions against settlements along the L\u00fario river, the natural border between Cabo Delgado and Nampula provinces.<\/p>\n

Among the victims is an Italian nun from the Chipene mission in Nampula.<\/p>\n
