Imported wheat price hike affects Mozambique

Mozambique is reeling from last week's food riots which left 13 dead.

They forced an official u-turn the government has agreed it will subsidise the price of bread.

Mozambique is one of the poorest countries in the world at least 50 per cent of its population are unemployed.

And after years of war, floods and drought, they are heavily reliant on wheat imports.
