Mozambique:The internally displaced in Cabo Delgado issued with ID cards

Over ten thousand Cabo Delgado residents who were forced to flee due to terrorism have already been offered new identification cards.

The legal convoy is a program launched in December 2020 by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in collaboration with the Catholic University of Mozambique, which seeks to issue new identity documents for those citizens who, as a result of terrorism, have lost almost everything. Part of the legal caravan is the attribution of documentation to displaced persons.

This Monday, the coordinator of the legal convoy, Fanito Salatiel, said that in addition to providing new identification documents, the displaced people also receive legal counsel. He was speaking to Rádio Moçambique in Pemba at the time. (RM)
