Fuel supply shortage in Mozambique
April 15, 2025, 12:15 a.m.
Currently, there is a shortage of fuels such as gasoline and diesel in some parts of the country.
According to a government announcement, the cause was problems with transactions and logistics between retailers and banks, and it has been said that fuel has been secured. However, long lines have formed at gas stations across the city seeking fuel, resulting in frequent traffic jams in the vicinity of the gas stations.
It is expected that this situation may continue for the time being, so Japanese residents and travelers in Mozambique are urged to continue to stay vigilant and obtain the latest information through announcements and media reports from the Mozambican government.

A Japanese national was robbed at a hotel in Maputo
April 11, 2025, 11:40 p.m.
1. On April 5th, a Japanese national staying at a hotel returned from going out to find that the cash he had stored in his suitcase was missing.
Although the suitcase was locked, the pouch containing the suitcase key had been left inside the room, so it is believed to have been stolen while the person was out.
2. We ask all Japanese residents and travelers in Japan to pay attention to the following points and take necessary safety measures.
・If you are staying in a hotel, do not leave valuables in the room when you go out.
- Choose a hotel that has strong security measures in place.
- Valuables should not only be stored in a locked place, but also thorough measures should be taken, including managing the keys.
- If you are unable to take the above precautions and have to leave your valuables behind, try to disperse and hide your valuables.
- Even if the room is on a higher floor, be sure to keep all doors locked at all times of the day and night.
・If you come face to face with the perpetrator, do not resist under any circumstances.
- Since there is a risk that maids or other servants may guide the person, manage their schedules carefully.
If you are a victim of a crime, please contact the Embassy of Japan in Mozambique.
