Frelimo president Filipe Nyusi revealed, at the opening of the third Ordinary Session of the Association of National Liberation Struggle Combatants (ACLLIN), that the Mozambican government will build a further 250 houses for veterans of the national liberation struggle by 2023,

At the opening of the ACLLN session, party president Filipe Nyusi began by describing the security situation in the centre of the country and in the province of Cabo Delgado.

In both conflicts [ [Cabo Delgado and centre], Nyusi noted, there were displaced combatants reliving war scenarios. This was unacceptable, and ACLLIN must act, he said.
