    Joint Communiqué by the African Commission on Human and People’s Rights (ACHPR), the Special Rapporteur on refugees, asylum-seekers, migrants in Africa, Ms. Maya Sahli Fadel, and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) on Mozambique's displacement crisis and forced returns from Tanzania (1) Situation of IDPs in Mozambique - The total number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Cabo Delgado Province has reached more than 732,000 according to humanitarian estimates. Approximately 46% are children. The conflict in northern Mozambique has left tens of thousands of people dead or injured. Civilians have been exposed to a variety of protection concerns, including physical assault, kidnappings, murder of family members, and gender-based violence (GBV). Moreover, the conflict has resulted in families being separated, and in many cases being displaced multiple times as they seek safety. - The situation, which has become a protection crisis, substantially worsened after attacks by non-state armed groups in the city of Palma on 24 March this year. Humanitarian actors are seeing an escalating rate of displacement, along with an increase in the proportion of displaced people having directly experienced human rights violations. There is also a growing number of particularly vulnerable persons among the IDPs, such as elderly, unaccompanied and separated children, pregnant women as well as those with urgent need for shelter, food and access to health structures. - Ongoing insecurity has forced thousands of families to seek refuge mostly in the south of Cabo Delgado and Nampula Provinces, as well as in Niassa and Zambezia provinces. Cabo Delgado’s districts of Ancuabe, Balama, Chiure, Ibo, Mecufi, Metuge, Montepuez, Mueda, Namuno, Nangade and Pemba continue to register new arrivals every day.

  • Disentangling Violent Extremism in Cabo Delgado Province, Northern Mozambique: Challenges and Prospects
    CHAPTER 15 Disentangling Violent Extremism in Cabo Delgado Province, Northern Mozambique: Challenges and Prospects Blessed Mangena and Mokete Pherudi Introduction Radicalisation and violent extremism in Mozambique’s Cabo Delgado province1 are on the rise and are posing a major threat to human security and develop- ment in the region. This study sought to investigate the nature of the challenges that the Mozambique government is encountering in addressing the violent extremism posed by Ansar al-Sunnah (also sometimes referred to as Ahlu Sunna Wa-Jama, Ansar al Sunna or Al-Shabaab)2 as well as its prospects in addressing the threat. The study established that Mozambique’s wholly militarised approach to addressing violent extremism in the province, marred by human rights abuses, could worsen the problem. The country is at risk of following the path of Nigeria, where a ham-fisted government response to a radical sect led to a surge in support for the group that became Boko Haram.3 However, there is a good chance that the insurgency in Mozambique might be contained if the government embraces holistic, comprehensive and integrated counter-extremism strategies that encom- pass dynamic military approaches fused with sustained efforts that are aimed at effectively addressing the root causes of extremism in the province. The Mozambican government also has a better chance of containing the threat if it can curb the extremist group’s source of funding, which has enabled it to expand its war chest. Basically, there are two factors driving the conflict in Cabo Delgado province. The first is insurgency capacity to recruit more militants through enticing them with financial incentives that are donated by sympathisers, 348 Disentangling Violent Extremism in Cabo Delgado Province who donate via electronic payments.

  • Cyclone Kenneth Cholera Modeled Maps
    Mozambique cholera risk from Cyclones Idai & Kenneth Shiny app: https://mahmud-ayesha.shinyapps.io/Cholera-MOZ/ Methods Overview We modeled cholera outbreak risk based on four measures: 1. Gravity model simulating human mobility 2. Previous cholera incidence 3. Flooding risk index (based on measured flooding from Cyclone Idai and projected flooding for Cyclone Kenneth) 4. El Niño sensitivity Gravity model • In the gravity (diffusion) model, we assume that travel from Beira occurs based on the population size of Beira, the population size of the receiving district and the geodesic distance between Beira and the receiving district. !"!#$%&'"(∗ "*'+'(_!"!#$%&'"( • Formula: -'.&%(/0 • Similar results obtained using different exponents • Wesolowski et al. 2015 • High resolution population data comes from Facebook. Previous Cholera Incidence • This risk index is based on modeled annual cholera incidence, based on previous cholera outbreak data and ecological data, from Lessler et al. Flood • Cyclone Idai • The flooding index is based on the flood extent maps from here. • This index is based on the proportion of area within each district that was affected by flooding following Cyclone Idai. • Cyclone Kenneth • We assumed Tropical Cyclone Kenneth would follow the trajectory described here. and affect mainly the Cabo Delgado province. We assumed the impact would be highest in the districts closest to the storm trajectory (provided by NETHOPE on April 25th), with less impact in the districts further away (risK decays with distance). Only districts within the uncertainty zone were considered at risK. El Niño sensitivity • This risk index is based on comparisons of cholera incidence between El Niño and non El Niño years, from Moore et al.

Examining access to natural resources and linkages to sustainable livelihoods A case study of Mozambique Simon Norfolk 2004 The cover photograph shows people at a meeting on the delimitation and titling of their community land under the new Land Law. Photo by Stefano Gasparini This paper was prepared under contract with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The positions and opinions presented are those of the author alone, and are not intended to represent the views of FAO. Examining access to natural resources and linkages to sustainable livelihoods The Livelihood Support Programme The Livelihood Support Programme (LSP) evolved from the belief that FAO could have a greater impact on reducing poverty and food insecurity, if its wealth of talent and experience were integrated into a more flexible and demand-responsive team approach. The LSP works through teams of FAO staff members, who are attracted to specific themes being worked on in a sustainable livelihoods context. These cross-departmental and cross-disciplinary teams act to integrate sustainable livelihoods principles in FAO’s work, at headquarters and in the field. These approaches build on experiences within FAO and other development agencies. The programme is functioning as a testing ground for both team approaches and sustainable livelihoods principles.

The conference was conducted under the "Chatham House Rule" that "participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s), nor that of any other participant, may be revealed." No sources are cited in this article even if these sources were not at the conference as it is impossible to identify sources without suggesting that people were at the IESE conference.

  • Forest Tree Persistence, Elephants, and Stem Scars1
    BIOTROPICA 36(4): 505±521 2004 Forest Tree Persistence, Elephants, and Stem Scars1 Douglas Sheil and Agus Salim Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), P.O. Box 6596 JKPWB, Jakarta 10065, Indonesia ABSTRACT Sixteen percent of tree stems 10 cm diameter or greater recorded in seven 1 ha plots in Rabongo Forest, Uganda had stem damage attributable to elephants (Loxodonta africana). We propose four strategies that may help tree species persist under these conditions: repellence, resistance, tolerance and avoidance. We sought and found evidence for each strategy. Large, shade-tolerant Cynometra alexandri dominated basal area (often .50%) and showed severe scarring. Nearly 80 percent of stems were small pioneer species. Scarring frequency and intensity increased with stem size. Stem-size distributions declined steeply, implying a high mortality to growth rate ratio. Tree species with spiny stems or with known toxic bark defenses were unscarred. Epiphytic ®gs escaped damage while at small sizes. Mid-successional tree species were scarce and appeared sensitive to elephants. Savanna species were seldom scarred. Taking stem size- effects into account by using a per-stem logistic modeling approach, scarring became more probable with slower growth and with increasing species abundance, and also varied with location. Pioneer and shade-bearer guilds showed a de®cit of intermediate-sized stems. Evidence that selective elephant damage is responsible for monodominant C. alexandri forests remains equivocal; however, elephants do in¯uence tree diversity, forest structure, and the wider landscape. Key words: African semi-deciduous rain forest; bark damage; Cynometra alexandri; herbivory; Loxodonta africana; monodominant; species richness; succession; tolerance; Uganda.
