Africa News Tonight: SADC offers help to Mozambique, 20 years later, tsunami warning systems still weak, Africa looks to bioeconomy - December 26, 2024

Africa News Tonight - VOA Africa

Zimbabwe’s President Emmerson Mnangagwa, the chair of the Southern Africa Development Community, has said the regional bloc is ready to assist Mozambique as it grapples with post-election violence. Two decades ago, a devastating tsunami hit East African nations along the Indian Ocean, killing over 300 people, and some experts say early warning systems and disaster preparedness to help prevent such losses still are inadequate. A new report says the promotion of bioeconomy – the use of biological resources to sustain communities - holds promise for rural areas in Africa and elsewhere, as the world copes with climate change.
