Mozambique: Thousands Rush to Malawi as Post-Poll Violence Intensifies | Firstpost Africa
Thousands have fled Mozambique in the past week to neighbouring Malawi seeking refuge from the southern African nation’s deadly post-poll protests and violence. Some 13,000 people have reportedly crossed from Mozambique to Malawi since December 23. Meanwhile, Eswatini has had an influx of more than 350 Mozambicans since last week. Moreover, the violence in Mozambique has also forced South Africa to reroute trade as the border situation grows volatile. This comes as fresh protests and violence have gripped Mozambique after the country’s top court upheld the October election results, disputed by the opposition. The protests have led several cities and economic activities across the country to come to a standstill. International observers have also demanded an end to the unrest. Is this the beginning of a larger crisis in the southern Africa region? Watch the video to learn more.

Its very good of Mozambicans heading to Malawi than to South Africa. They were here in South Africa as refugees, stay here for decades hosted by South Africa, so now, let them change countries. We are tired of hosting people of the same country more than once.
Let other countries share hosting them , we are not the only country in Africa to be hosting refugees from all-over the waarld. Minus one problem.
opposition must take up arms, because (one way or another, we are dying).
According to the West, this is the democracy they want to prevail in Africa.
#Western model of democracy is simply a trash.
Let other African Countries learn what can happen to them, when Leaders are accepted to be corrupted by foreign governments.
Chinese, the West are our enemies for life
Africa is for Africans.
Fake news
They purposly distroy their country then run ….bullsheet😮
They allways opt for violence to solve things distroying themselves in the process
Frelimo stole the vote we are not going to allow them we don't want them again we want venançio Mondhane 🇲🇿🇲🇿
Frelimo buy you to talk nonsense we don't want frelimo we want them out
Dictatorships; Election fraud; Civil war. This is Africa. Samora Machel's legacy. SADC is riddled with dictators – don't expect moral guidance from there!
False information
Now this is what real refugees do, flee to their nearest country, unlike Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Nigerians, Ethiopians, Somalians. This is how a real proactive government responds, count them in put them in refugee camps, until the situation improves in Mozambique.. ANC should take lessons from their more competent neighbouring governments.
Loosing elections and causing riots calling elections fraud,this man they are following is not a true patriot
Mozambiquans are all to blame in this anarchy. They can never blame anyone but themselves in this problem. There is so much knowledge they could have learned from, positive help across the world and they chose anarchy. The ruling, corrupt political elite in cahoots with rotten, exploitative Transnational Capital, deceitful & corrupt opposition, ignorant & disempowered population amounts to an incendiary mix. The next thing they will be claiming South Africa caused this in order to re-invade it, 'Africa must unite' when it is united, white monopolies when monopolies can be disintegrated. They must find it in themselves to rise and correct their mistake and foolishness, don't run to foreign lands unless that was the intention of the anarchy anyway.
Your reporting and presenting skills are absolutely top-notch!! Truly some of the finest broadcasting talent I've ever had the pleasure of watching.
Thank you for such exceptional coverage! If only all news programs could be this engaging. I'm generally not a fan of news, yet I found myself completely hooked, unable to look away. You've made an art out of keeping things both informative and watchable! Subscribed.
EU , USA is behind this
Too bad Jimmy Carter is gone. He'd have said that the dictators were there because the elections have always been legal and above board. Jimmy never saw a dictatorship that he didn't like.
The results and consequences of terrorism.
My question to us Africans is cant we Protest Peacefully without destroying our own things..now no Hospitals,No shops,No petrol anger blindd ud its wromg.Who is going to rebuild again after how long Africans may we stop these Character we donot benefit from it pls…
Everything will be alright as days go.
And from Malawi they will head to South Africa .
Some of them must go to zimbabwe..Mnagwgwa must also help with asylum seekers from Mozambique..SA is full of Zimbabweans who are not even asylum seekers, no crisis in Zim. don't know why they flee their homes..☹️
When Zim suffered noone said sorry to us. Everyone was laughing
How can anyone invest in an African country. Thats why it has to depend on donations. Investing money into this type of non sense. NO WAY.
the person u fight for tomorow he will make u fight again there is no afirican leader better than u please dont sacrify ur life for nothing
Why no united nation in Ukraine? You just flood your peace keepers in African countries and not in eaurope
SADC is the most useless and evil organization
Lord have mercy,,Lord intervene 😢
The Wii of people must be respected justice must be seen
South Africa will bare the branch of the chaos happening in Mozambique. The SADC community must deal with what's happening there ASAP
Eeeee koma Mozambique kuli tchito
Im Malawian im saying Welcome to your next home brother and sisters everything will be fine so soon
That is very unfair… These Mozambiqians, once they are I tribal they always come to Malawi, as their neighbors, but we as Malawians,when we're in there country, they treat us as enemies, why, why.
Tanzania should be answerable for what is happening in Mozambique.
Mozambique is oil rich.
UN get lost. Regional countries must help stability in Mozambique.
Proof of how useless the african union is, this should have been a simple security issue, sadec forces once again asleep
This shows how backward we are as Africans. Why destroy feeling stations , other essential institutions .
Some people they just spread the wrong information in the social media. Why? And talking about SADC, SADC is simply a group of business man i southern Africa region, using politic as a key to manipulate the people, in benefit of natural resources while the people is suffering. They don't help in anything, they protect each other to remain on power from generation to generation
You are most welcome in Malawi.
Mozambicans should be weary of the chaos being an environment created to loot their natural resources. They are so blind.
For over seven years the people of Muzabiqu are fighting islamist jihadist led by One illiterate Nura and his gangs and I wonder how the Government allowed greed and hungry for power engulfed them such that they are now fighting themselves over a farce Election Results. Who is doing Who?
If the present Government are doing well Nura and his illiterate islamist wouldn't have festered in the first place.
So the Government have failed in its responsibility and should give the opposition a chance to remedy the situation if they so love the people of Mozambique.
The useless UN demanding they stop ha ha ha. Who do they think they are ! As if they will be listened to ! More refugees for South Africa ,
Divide them and take the resources . When will it stop?
