Mozambican Unrest and Refugees: Over 2,000 families from Mozambique have fled to Malawi due to violent protests following a disputed election where the ruling Frelimo party was declared the winner. The unrest has resulted in significant casualties, with reports of at least 252 deaths since late October.
Impact on Businesses and Security: The violence has led to business closures in Mozambique's capital, including banks, and a deadly prison riot resulted in over 1,500 prisoners escaping. Foreign companies, particularly in mining, have also been affected, with operations halted due to safety concerns.
