President Filipe Nyusi has assured Mozambicans living in Germany that contacts were being made both at home and abroad for the restoration of peace and stability to the country.

The Mozambican president was speaking in Berlin at a meeting with the Mozambican community resident in Germany, who said that, though they were far from home, they followed the domestic political situation closely.

Reacting to widespread concern, Filipe Nyusi said: “Mozambique is not at war, but there are some disturbances in the centre of the country, and these are created by Renamo. But we are working with Mozambican people and friends both within and outside the country to resolve the situation.”

Mozambicans in Germany again questioned the president about compensation for former workers in the now-defunct communist German Democratic Republic. Nyusi’s answer was practically the same as before.

“Normally, I do not like answers that do not resolve the issue. So when I came here before, and was presented the compensations issue, I said I had listened and that I would seek information about the project. I think it is not good to be saying that the solution is this or is that and then not deliver,” he concluded.

Peace and investment were the main subject of talks with Chancellor Angela Merkel on the first day of the president’s visit to Germany.
