About the escape from the war in Mozambique to Malawi
I am the writer of this composition, a 6th form student Carlos Nhozane. I escaped from my native land of Mozambique and ended up here in Malawi because of the war. I am eighteen years old. The armed bandits arrived one Sunday morning, they burnt all the houses and killed every family of my region. I am a native from the Tete province, Moutize district. I arrived at the refugee camp when it was founded in July 1987.The Malawian government welcomed us warmly. At this moment in time we received all sorts of necessary materials – blankets, food, plates, soup, pans, etc. And today I am living well. When I arrived here, I was in the 3rd form but I was enrolled in the 4th form in 1991 and today I am in the 6th form having studied and learnt a great deal.
However nowadays, I am waiting for a government order to return to my own homeland. I can’t return by myself without any government authority, because I remember now all the suffering in the past. I would like and wish for the peace in Mozambique to continue forever. I am here in Malawi now but there is still suffering seeing the country now belongs to its own inhabitants.
I don’t have many regrets, only these ones.
