Electricity to remain off in northern Mozambique
More than 25,000 people in northern Mozambique are going to be without electricity for the foreseeable future.
Mozambique’s Electricity company, EDM, blamed insurgents for the problem.
It said these customers were from five districts in the central and northern regions of Cabo Delgado province where the power infrastructure had been vandalised by the Islamist militants in recent attacks.
Gildo Marques, EDM’s Cabo Delgado director, said it was too dangerous for engineers to access the area to know the true extent of the damage to power lines and transformers.
The five districts without electricity are Muidumbe, Mueda, Nangade, Palma and Mocímboa da Praia.
