Ethiopian migrants detained in Mozambique

Mozambique has detained 82 Ethiopian migrants after they entered the country illegally, officials have said.

The migrants, who were detained in the central city of Chimoio in Manica province, planned to travel to neighbouring South Africa, a spokesperson for the provincial directorate of migration, Abílio Mathe, said.

Parts of Ethiopia have been hit by a devastating drought and conflict, creating a humanitarian crisis.

Officials in the northern Tigray region said that 225 people have died of starvation since last July.
