Deadly Islamist Insurgency in Mozambique Threatens Africa’s Biggest Investment | Explain This
Descrição
A deadly insurgency in Mozambique has killed over 2,600 people since violence began in 2017 and threatens the biggest private investment in Africa.
Marc Davies explains how an ignored conflict unfolded in one of the world's poorest countries.
MORE: Total SA and Eni SpA plan to tap huge natural gas deposits that discovered off the northern coast of Mozambique a decade ago. Their projects and another being considered by Exxon Mobil Corp. could entail $60 billion in investment and have the potential to turn around the economy of one of the world’s poorest countries.
The developments have coincided with a series of increasingly brazen attacks by Islamist insurgents in the southern African country. While the main project sites have been spared from the violence so far, the security risks to the biggest investment splurge in Africa are ratcheting up as attacks get increasingly close.

A united country can never be invaded like this. The problem starts with the government making deals of this magnitude with investors, without proper consultation with the general public

Africa is kicking it's own ass at times like this. The African Union could end this violence very quickly. But they won't.

Why is everyone afraid to point out the real problem here.

Bet that oil investment area is secured and protected but forget the citizens.

From Mocimboa da Praia where I worked and lived I had the chance to go to PALMA. Diving in Palma bay (Quirimbas) in 1964 I was amazed by the amount of big fishes and sizes. Quirimbas site is a paradise for UW exploration, so much coral and cutes fishes, clear sea water and warm. People of Moz was excellent quiet and respectful and I felt so nice there and I was offered cocoanut water but free. No future in Moz with sad Islamic insurgents killers is kaput. No development with Islamic system.

The first thing this report mentions is oil. That already tells us all we need to know. It’s about oil. Where ever there is oil, there is insurgents and war. End of.

I can guess this atck was by there own government because they want the people to move from this area otherwise how it was possible that such a mega project place don't had security or why will they k8ll innocent people. Maybe some drama

My question is where do they get their fire power seeing as black or African people don't produce any kind of modern day weapon
