However, there was a resurgence of the locusts in May, affecting Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe. > Currently, the African Migratory Locust swarms in Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe have grown tremendously, rendering the on-going efforts implemented both at national and regional level inadequate. > The current outbreak has the potential to spill beyond the five affected Member States if not urgently controlled. > The outbreak poses a serious threat to the national and regional food security which already indicates high numbers of food insecure and vulnerable populations. > In light of this situation, Honourable Celso Ismael Correia Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development of the Republic of Mozambique will on Wednesday, 11th November 2020 launch a Regional Appeal on the African Migratory Locust Outbreak. > The Appeal aims to solicit support to complement the efforts that the Member States, Civil International Cooperating Partners are already making towards addressing the impacts of the locust outbreak. _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
