Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The aftermath of Mozambique\u2019s disputed presidential election has driven nearly 3,000 people to seek refuge in neighboring countries, as violence and unrest continue to grip the nation.<\/p>\n

The defeated presidential candidate, Venancio Mondlane, canceled a planned address on Thursday, January 2, where he was expected to outline the next phase of the opposition\u2019s protest movement. For nearly two months, Mozambicans have been demonstrating against the October 9 election results, which saw the ruling Frelimo party, in power since independence, retain the presidency.<\/p>\n

Refugee Influx in Eswatini and Malawi<\/b><\/p>\n

According to an internal note from Eswatini\u2019s authorities, nearly 1,000 Mozambicans have crossed the border into the kingdom over the past two months. Many have found shelter at the Malindza Refugee Centre near the border, which is now overwhelmed. Originally designed to house 250 people, the facility is struggling to accommodate the influx, according to the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR). The UN is urgently seeking additional funding to address the crisis.<\/p>\n

Further north, Malawi has also seen a surge in refugees, with nearly 2,000 Mozambicans arriving in just one week, the UNHCR reports. Many fled after attacks and looting in their villages, risking their lives to cross the Shire River by swimming or using makeshift boats.<\/p>\n

A Growing Humanitarian Crisis<\/b><\/p>\n

As tensions persist in Mozambique, the strain on neighboring countries and international aid organizations continues to grow. With limited resources and an increasing number of displaced people, the region faces mounting challenges in addressing this escalating humanitarian crisis.<\/p>\n
