Mozambique’s Cabo Delgado Crisis Explained

PLO Lumumba examines the roots of the conflict in Mozambique, tracing the crisis from the country’s independence struggle and Marxist-Leninist history to the rise of jihadist insurgency in Cabo Delgado. He explains how poverty, unemployment, climate devastation, weak economic development and frustration over gas wealth have contributed to instability in the region since armed groups emerged in 2017. The discussion also explores the role of Al-Shabaab-linked militants, Rwanda’s military involvement, the humanitarian crisis caused by mass displacement and the difficulty African governments face when confronting decentralised extremist movements.
