Mozambique's Anamola Party Seeks Independent Inquiry Into Killing of Another Member

Mozambique's Anamola party is calling for an independent investigation into the assassination of another of its members, according to CLUB OF MOZAMBIQUE. The outlet reported the demand on Monday, 14 September 2026.

Separate reporting from aimnews.org identifies the victim as one of the witnesses due to testify for opposition figure Mondlane in an upcoming trial. That witness was killed in Morrumbene, according to aimnews.org.

The killing adds to a toll Anamola has been tracking for more than a year. CLUB OF MOZAMBIQUE reports the party says 57 of its members have been killed since August 2025, a figure also carried by aimnews.org, which puts the number at almost 60.

The two outlets frame the deaths as a pattern rather than isolated incidents, though neither report made public names of the other victims or details of how they died. No suspect or motive has been identified in the Morrumbene killing in the material available.

Anamola's call for an outside inquiry signals it does not expect a credible investigation from existing authorities. The party has not said who it wants to conduct the probe or what powers such a body should have.

What to watch next: whether Mozambican authorities respond to the request for an independent investigation, and whether the upcoming trial proceeds with its remaining witnesses.
