Last update: 7 hours agoMozambique in the spotlight: The US Central Command says it disabled the Mozambique-flagged tanker M/T Lavine in the Gulf of Oman for repeatedly trying to breach the Iran naval blockade, and reported that the ship is no longer heading to Iran. US-Iran tensions: Washington also says it redirected 12 commercial vessels, disabled two for non-compliance, and boarded two for verification as it keeps the blockade in full effect, while US airstrikes on Iran are paused and diplomacy is pushed to avoid wider war. Climate risk for the region: Reuters reports the AfDB warns a looming “super” El Niño could cut GDP in heavily affected African countries by 1% to 2% (about $10bn–$20bn) and trigger mass migration, with food, water, and public finances at risk. Labour shock across southern Africa: AFP describes how South Africa’s anti-migrant crackdown has driven an exodus of over 160,000 people, leaving farms short-handed and threatening harvests—many workers include Zimbabweans and Mozambicans.
