SADC Seeks Peace After Mozambique Election Violence.
The head of a key African group asked people in Mozambique to stay calm today. Fighting broke out there after the recent elections.
Tanzania's leader, Dr. Samia Suluhu Hassan, spoke up. She leads a group that works for peace in southern Africa and wants the fighting to stop.
"People died. Others got hurt. Homes and buildings fell," Hassan said. She thinks the trouble hurts trade between countries. It stops people from moving freely.
When leaders shared who won the vote, more fights started. The trouble grew worse in the past weeks. The group stepped in to ask for peace.
Hassan said her team stands ready to help fix things. "We want all sides to be peaceful," she said. They plan to use special ways to bring peace back.
The fighting hit the country hard. It hurt shops and farms. People lost money. The whole area suffers when Mozambique has problems.
Hassan asked everyone to think about what matters most. She wants them to care about regular people first, and she hopes they can talk instead of fight.
The trouble makes life harder for everyone, slows down trade, and prevents countries from working together. Leaders hope peace comes back fast.
