Mozambican Foreign Affairs Minister Maria Lucas has affirmed ongoing diplomatic efforts to bolster the protection of Mozambican citizens facing xenophobia in unspecified locations. These efforts follow reports of increased discrimination and hostility towards Mozambicans abroad. Minister Lucas stated the government is actively engaging with host countries to ensure the safety and well-being of its nationals. Specific details regarding the locations experiencing heightened xenophobia and the nature of the diplomatic initiatives were not immediately disclosed. The Mozambican government has pledged to provide consular assistance to affected citizens and advocate for their rights. This response comes as concerns grow over the treatment of African migrants in several countries, prompting calls for stronger international cooperation to combat xenophobia. Further updates are expected as diplomatic discussions progress.
