Nearly 50 Somali survivors of a migrant boat tragedy arrived in Mogadishu on Saturday, where they were greeted by government officials. The group had been rescued after two boats they were traveling on capsized off the coast of Madagascar, leaving around 25 people dead. Emotional scenes unfolded at the airport as survivors were reunited with family members. Haboon Deeqa, whose sister perished in the tragedy, expressed her grief: “I send my condolences to those who died, including my sister Hanan. I’m relieved my brother Ahmed has returned safely,” she said. “I’m very thankful to everyone who helped bring them home.” The survivors had spent nearly a month at sea, hoping to reach the French island of Mayotte, about 1,600 kilometers away. “We were 75 in total, and 28 people died. My cousin was among the victims. Forty-seven of us, myself included, survived,” said Ahmed Hussein Mahadalle. Many young Somalis are driven to undertake such perilous journeys due to unemployment, poverty, and drought in the Horn of Africa, hoping for a better life in Europe. Somalia’s foreign affairs minister recently urged youth to consider the risks and prioritize their safety. Maryan Yasin, Somalia’s presidential advisor on refugee affairs, expressed relief at the group’s safe return and emphasized the government’s commitment to addressing the root causes of such dangerous migration. “They assured me they will never take the same risk again,” she said, adding that solving the issue will require a collective effort. The United Nations has raised alarms about the increasing numbers fleeing conflict and drought in the Horn of Africa.

Sierra Leone has launched a nationwide rollout of the single-dose Ebola vaccine, marking the first such campaign in West Africa since the deadly 2014 outbreak that killed thousands. The 2014 Ebola epidemic, the deadliest in history, primarily affected West Africa, with Sierra Leone suffering nearly 4,000 deaths out of over 11,000 globally. The country also lost 7% of its healthcare workforce to the virus. Cynthia Reffell, a health worker, explained that those most exposed to the disease, such as healthcare workers, police, military officers, and traditional healers, will be prioritized in the vaccination campaign. “We are targeting healthcare workers and front-line workers to prevent the spread,” Reffell said. The campaign, a collaboration between the Sierra Leone government, Gavi, the World Health Organization (WHO), and UNICEF, aims to vaccinate 20,000 frontline workers. Traditional healers have also been enlisted to help encourage community participation. In 2014, no approved Ebola vaccine existed, and the outbreak, which began in Guinea, spread to Sierra Leone and Liberia, causing widespread devastation. Although no new cases have been reported in Guinea for three years, officials remain cautious about ongoing risks in endemic regions.

At least five people were killed and three others seriously injured in protests across Mozambique, including in Maputo, Nampula, and Zambezia, according to police reports. Orlando Mudumane, spokesman for the Police General Command, stated that violent clashes erupted between police and protesters armed with stones, knives, and machetes. The demonstrations were reportedly organized by Venancio Mondlane, a defeated presidential candidate, who claimed that the October 9 election results were fraudulent and declared himself the winner. From his refuge in South Africa, Mondlane called for a nationwide protest from December 4 to 11, aiming to block key infrastructure such as roads, railways, ports, and airports to “restore the truth” about the elections. Outgoing President Filipe Nyusi warned that the unrest could disrupt public sector salary payments, particularly for teachers and nurses, due to Mozambique’s lack of external financial support. Protests escalated in Matola after a 13-year-old boy was fatally shot by a plainclothes police officer. In response, residents blocked access to the Beleluane Industrial Park, home to the Mozal aluminum plant, temporarily halting the company’s truck operations.
