KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 26- No Malaysians in Mozambique have been affected by the ongoing unrest, mostly affecting urban areas including the capital Maputo.

Wisma Putra in a statement said the Malaysian High Commission in Pretoria, South Africa is in constant contact with 20 Malaysians currently residing in Mozambique.

This effort is being carried out through the Honorary Consul in the country.

"Malaysians in Mozambique or those who require assistance are urged to register their presence with the High Commission via E-Consular and remain in touch with the mission," the statement said.

Meanwhile, citizens who do not have an urgent need to travel to the country are advised to postpone their travel plans for the time being.

"Wisma Putra remains committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of Malaysians abroad and will provide updates if needed," the statement explained.

Media reported that a prison riot in Maputo on Wednesday left 33 people dead and 15 injured as civil unrest linked to the disputed elections last October continues.
