The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) has issued a travel advisory for Mozambique citing ongoing political violence, civil unrest, and insurgency risks. The advisory reflects continued instability in northern Mozambique (Cabo Delgado province) linked to an Islamist insurgency, as well as broader civil unrest following disputed elections. These conditions present material risks to foreign nationals, commercial operations, and energy infrastructure in the country.

Impact verdict

Medium impact. Mozambique hosts significant energy infrastructure investments (LNG projects) and the insurgency in Cabo Delgado has previously triggered force majeure declarations; an updated FCDO advisory signals continued elevated risk to personnel, assets, and supply chains but falls short of indicating a new acute escalation.
