He said the identification exercise was particularly important ahead of the 2029 Mozambican elections, as citizens living outside Mozambique need valid documentation to participate in national activities. “Mozambicans living in Malawi remain citizens of Mozambique and should be able to exercise their rights by possessing valid identification documents,” Anica said.
