This meteorological phenomenon is also causing torrential rains in East Africa, which have already caused hundreds of deaths in Kenya, Burundi, Tanzania, Somalia and Ethiopia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mozambique\">Mozambique<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
