Mozambique: Report accuses private military contractors of taking part in the killing of civilians; includes
company comments. / : Stéphane Neckebrock.
Cabo Delgado, Mozambique
In a report issued on Tuesday, by Amnesty International. Findings accused the government, insurgents and a
South African private military company of war crimes against civilians, including killings, dismemberment,
torture and abductions. In its report, titled ‘What I Saw Is Death’: War Crimes in Mozambique’s Forgotten
Cape’, Amnesty said it had interviewed 79 internally displaced people between September and January, and
reviewed satellite imagery, photographs, medical records and ballistics information. Reuters was not
independently able to verify the material described in the report. The report accused Dyck Advisory Group
staff of opening fire indiscriminately on civilians while pursuing suspected fighters. The South African private
military firm said it will hire outside lawyers to look into its activities in Mozambique. Lionel Dyck, the
founder of the company, told Reuters: “We take these allegations very seriously and we are going to put an
independent legal team in there shortly to do a board of inquiry and look at what we are doing.” He declined
to give further details of the group’s mission in Mozambique.
