One thousand six hundred and four Mozambican citizens from the district of Mossurize, in Manica Province, who sought refuge at the Tongogara camp in Zimbabwe due to the political-military tension of 2016, begin returning to the country today.
The citizens fled to the neighboring country between 2016 and 2018 and will return in three groups, with the last group expected to arrive next Sunday.
According to the district administrator of Mossurize, Abdul Zacarias, the refugees will return to the country through the Espungabera border and the simplified crossing points of Chicuecuete and Garágua.
Abdul Zacarias states that the government, through the National Institute for the Support of War Returnees and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), has created conditions for their reception, including food kits, shelter, and agricultural inputs for reintegration.
Those returning will be received at three temporary camps located at the schools of Gungunhana, Tungo Tungo, and Chicuecuete, in the district of Mossurize. — RadioMozambique
