Responding to the apparent police killings of seven people amid post-election protests in Nampula on 13 November 2024, Amnesty International Deputy Regional Director for East and Southern Africa, Khanyo Farisè, said: “The situation in Mozambique gets worse every day as the death toll spirals, yet the Southern African Development Community remains shockingly silent. Regardless of the outcome of the elections, SADC must take a strong stand against the assault on the right to protest and the killing of protesters. “SADC has been painfully slow to respond to Mozambique’s crisis. The bloc must forcefully speak out now against the ongoing violations of human rights by Mozambican security forces and put human rights and accountability at the center of its upcoming summit in Harare, Zimbabwe.
