Southern Africa: SADC Parliamentary Forum Committee Calls for Action to Combat Strife in Mozambique

document

The escalating strife in Mozambique took centre stage at a statutory meeting of the Standing Committee on Democratisation, Governance and Human Rights and Constitutionalism of the Southern African Development Community Parliamentary Forum (SADC-PF). Members of the committee recognised that if this fragile situation is not attended to, it could lead to a much bigger human catastrophe and spill over into neighbouring states.

A motion was raised by Mr Darren Bergman, a South African delegate, to take note of the human catastrophe in Mozambique caused by the escalating conflict involving heavily armed rebels. This set in motion a unanimous rebuke of the rebels for the human suffering arising from the conflict. The committee called for the immediate provision of support to the Mozambican army to quell the instability. Emigration as a result of the conflict could destabilise the region, amidst challenges in the region arising from Covid-19.
