Mozambique: Christianity

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to reports by Aid to the Church in Need of 1 July 2021, what assessment his Department has made as to whether Christians are being targeted in the insurgency in Mozambique.

Answer

The acts of terrorist insurgents have sadly affected peoples of all faiths in Cabo Delgado. Mozambique is an important partner for the UK, and a valued member of the Commonwealth. We are working with the Government of Mozambique to address the root drivers of conflict and instability, including by providing targeted assistance under the framework of a Defence Memorandum of Understanding.
