In Mozambique, the Regime Imposes a Blackout on Journalists

In Mozambique, particularly in the northern region of Cabo Delgado, local journalists face increasing threats and restrictions as the government appears to suppress media coverage of ongoing conflicts. Reports indicate that several journalists have been abducted, poisoned, or attacked, while authorities fail to conduct thorough investigations into these incidents. Human rights organizations like Amnesty International and NGOs such as DECIDE criticize the lack of transparency and accountability, noting that the government is actively limiting the ability of journalists to report on the situation. This has led to a self-censorship among media outlets, with many avoiding the region due to safety concerns and institutional resistance to cooperation.
