Mozambique’s President Filipe Nyusi has dismissed three provincial Secretaries of State: Fernando Bemane de Sousa in Cabo Delgado, Plácido Nerino Pereira in Nampula, and Bendita Donaciano Lopes in Inhambane. The dismissals were announced via separate presidential decrees. The move affects leadership in strategically important provinces, particularly Cabo Delgado, which has been grappling with ongoing security challenges. No reasons were given for the removals. The President is expected to name replacements for the vacated positions shortly. These changes signal a potential shift in the government’s approach to regional administration and security. The announcements were initially reported by the Mozambican news outlet, O País.
