Mozambicans in Malawi cautiously look to return home DW 03/19/2025
Briefly

Mozambique's recent elections triggered violent protests and unrest following allegations of fraud surrounding Daniel Chapo's victory for the ruling Frelimo party. Approximately 300 people were killed, forcing over 13,000 to flee to Malawi, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis there. As Mozambicans struggled to escape the turmoil, they faced perilous journeys across difficult terrain, seeking refuge in displacement camps amidst limited resources. Malawi, already hosting large numbers of refugees and grappling with its own economic issues, now faces increased risks of disease due to poor harvests and lack of medical supplies.
While Mozambique's highest court confirmed Chapo's victory, protests erupted over allegations of rigged elections, resulting in significant violence and a humanitarian crisis.
Basic provisions such as food and medicines were in short supply in Malawi, which already hosts over 50,000 refugees, struggling under the weight of its own economic challenges.
