Lobby urges Mozambique to evacuate civilians from war-torn region
An internally sisplaced Mozambican, who fled clashes between the Mozambican Army and Mozambican National Resistance forces (RENAMO), sits next to a tent in an internal displacement camp on December 12, 2016 in Vanduzi in the Manica Province, Mozambique.
An international lobby group on Friday urged the Mozambican government to help civilians trapped by fighting in Cabo Delgado Province to move to safer areas.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) said that government security forces had imposed restrictions that prevented thousands of residents from leaving Cabo Delgado Province.
