The Mozambican government still does not have a plan for the return of the little more than 2,500 people displaced in neighboring Malawi. However, without revealing details, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation guarantees that all support has been and continues to be provided to those in need through the National Institute for Disaster Risk Management.

They are mostly citizens mainly from the districts of Mutarara in Tete and Morrumbala in Zambezia in central Mozambique who have been forced to seek a safe place in the neighboring Republic of Malawi.

All because Tropical Storm Ana hit their areas in late January this year. When asked about the situation of these compatriots, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, António Macheve, quoted by RFI, was cautious, but assured that they are not abandoned despite the contrary speeches of those affected.

"We can't say for sure at this moment where they are, but what the government has done through INGD (National Institute for Disaster Risk Management) was to create conditions for assistance to these displaced compatriots of ours, and I think that most of them are still in Malawi, but this is something that we should confirm with INGD," assured António Macheve.

Official data indicate that tropical storm Ana killed 29 people, injured 129, and in all, more than 10,000 people were displaced by the phenomenon that affected last January, especially the provinces of Sofala, Zambézia, Tete in the center and Nampula in the north of the country.
