A United States of American (USA) based organization has disclosed that the violence between political parties in Mozambique is forcing more refugees to enter Malawi.
The organization, Freedom House, has disclosed that people from Mozambique are fleeing to Malawi due to violence between Frelimo and Renamo forces.
The report, Mozambique Violence Refugees and the Luwani Camp, that has been released on Thursday in Washington takes to light substantive evidence of growing violence by government forces as part of a little-known conflict with the opposition Renamo movement in central Mozambique.
“Refugees described family members being tied by their wrists and ankles by government troops, thrown into their homes, and then burned alive,” said Lynn Fredriksson, Freedom house director of Southern Africa programs.
Fredriksson urged the Mozambique government to make a serious commitment to peace negotiations to end the conflicts.
The report is based on research conducted in Malawi during October 2016 in Luwani Refugee Camp and Kapise village along the Mozambique-Malawi border.
A total of 2,351 refugees were at Luwani Camp when the research was conducted, of whom 469 were interviewed for the survey. Others participated through group discussions and individual interviews.
Freedom House is an independent watchdog organization that supports democratic change, monitors the status of freedom around the world, and advocates for democracy and human rights.

Europe & the West feasts on our stupidity. It’s only an IDIOT who’d think of a war to be a way to sort differences & one wonders why we Africans choose to study “destruction” while our teachers in Europe teach themselves about “development”.
Yesu akanangobwera aweruze ziko lamozambiki Kaye,, tikapita kwawo magwalada amatimenya and amatikhomesa misonkho ya njinga,,, abwerere kwawo amenewo,, imagine tikanakhala ife zikanatheka kuthawira kwawo,?
we welcome them to our country but when we cross their country they rob,,rape even kill us,,,,,,which is unfair
Why accepting such people in our country? They rob us, rape us, kill us when we cross their boarders. They should remain in their country with their sarcastic hearts. Malawi is a peaceful country despite political differences between parties. We dont want mozambicans in our country.
Do you know how many Malawians are in Mozambique living peaceful? Don’t just say you need to investigate! There too many Malawians in Tete, Beira, Nampula and Niassa, who are living without being troubled
