Its press also carried 71 foreign-subject articles in these 30 days — counted out of the levels above. Behind the numbers ↓

Pressure index: Normal (+1.6) — driven by companies

Easing ≤ −0.5 · Normal to +1.6 · Rising to +1.8 · Surging above — the 30-day pressure read against the country's own history.

Level = risk-flavoured articles in the country's own press over the last 30 days — what its outlets reported, wherever the story happened — against the country's own baseline (mean of the previous three 30-day windows). Quiet 0 · Low up to the baseline · Elevated up to twice the baseline · High above. Counts, not severities: a press signal, not a rating. Every row links to the articles counted. Titles shown translated are model translations; the others appear in their original language — each link opens the original article. Method →

Behind the numbers

Mozambique's press focused on domestic issues including grain trade court cases, insurgent attacks in Cabo Delgado, and a significant agricultural campaign plan. The country also reported on a mining company closing a road for gold extraction and a fire at a hospital. Internationally, Mozambique covered the US strike on Iran's Qeshm Island and changes in US trade deals with Rwanda and South Africa.
