Joint Communiqué by the African Commission on Human and People’S Rights (ACHPR), the Special Rapporteur on Refugees, Asylum-Seekers, Migrants in Africa, Ms
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.

Cabo Ligado Weekly: 7-13 June 2021
OBSERVATORY CONFLICT CONFLICT 17 June 2021 Cabo Ligado Weekly: 7-13 June 2021 Cabo Ligado — or ‘connected cape’ — is a Mozambique conflict observatory launched by ACLED, Zitamar News, and Mediafax. BY THE NUMBERS Cabo Delgado, October 2017-June 2021 • Total number of organized political violence events: 895 • Total number of reported fatalities from organized political violence: 2,887 • Total number of reported fatalities from civilian targeting: 1,420 All ACLED data are available for download via the data export tool. SITUATION SUMMARY The conflict in Cabo Delgado was relatively quiet last week. However, new information about earlier events has come to light. The only confirmed conflict incident from last week took place on 12 June near the village of Nova Família, Nangade district, where local hunters found two decapitated bodies in a swamp close to the village. A local official claimed that the bodies must have been insurgents killed by government forces in the area. Government forces, however, are not commonly known to decapitate their victims, suggesting that these people were likely killed by insurgents. A media report that the Mozambican military is utilizing anti-vehicle landmines, including one that detonated on a road in Muidumbe district on 30 May, was vociferously denied by the country’s defense ministry. Mo- zambique has a long and terrible history with landmines, which were used extensively during the country’s civil war and which killed and injured many civilians. After a long and costly effort, the country was declared landmine-free in 2015. A defense ministry spokesman cited Mozambique’s commitment to the Ottawa Treaty, which bans anti-personnel mines and which Mozambique ratified in 1998, in his denial.

INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW The Niassa Carnivore Project (NCP) was founded in 2003 and serves to conserve large carnivores and their prey in Niassa Special Reserve (NSR, formally known as Niassa National Reserve, NNR) by promoting coexistence and through a shared respect for people, their culture, wildlife, and the environment. Our team values are respect (for each other and the environment); “Tsova-Tsova” (a Cyao term for meaning you push, I push), communication, inclusion, teamwork, and opportunities to learn. Why we should care Niassa Special Reserve is situated in northern Mozambique on the border with Tanzania and is one of the largest protected areas (42,200 km2; 16,000 ml2) in Africa. It is managed through a co- management agreement between the Government of Mozambique (National Administration of Conservation Areas (ANAC) with Ministry of Land, Environment and Rural development (MITADER) and Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). The protected area supports the largest concentrations of wildlife remaining in Mozambique including an estimated 800 - 1000 lions, 300-350 African wild dogs as well as leopard and spotted hyaena. Free-ranging African lions have declined over the last century to fewer than 20,000 today (Riggio et al., 2012; Bauer et al., 2015; Dickman et al, in prep). Well managed protected areas, particularly large protected areas like NSR that can support more than 1000 lions, are critically important for future recovery efforts for lion conservation (Lindsey et al., 2017). These types of landscapes are becoming increasingly rare. NSR remains one of the 6 strongholds for lions, spotted hyaenas, leopards and African wild dogs left in Africa today.

Accurately monitoring fine- scale spatial and temporal trends in land-use and tree-cover is increasingly used for monitoring the ecological state of conservation areas. Here we provide essential information on land-use changes in NNR to support ongoing conservation efforts in the region. We examined patterns of forest and woodland loss in NNR between 2001 and 2014 using high resolution maps of global tree-cover change, and compared this with changes in the wider region. We found that NNR lost 108 km2 of forest (0.9 per cent of its 11,970 km2 aggregated forest extent), with the majority (89 km2) of forest loss occurring due to expanding agriculture around settlements and along main roads.
