Mozambique’s tipping point? Islamist insurgents overrun gas-rich northern towns

14/10/2026 · FRANCE 24 English

Descrição

Has #Jihad incorporated really opened a branch in Southern #Africa? Isis may have claimed responsibility for the overrunning of a coastal town in northern #Mozambique but it is local grievances, poverty too long ignored and militants preying on a soft target, that seem to blame for the gruesome events that have come to a head in Cabo Delgado province. We ask about last week's attack and past efforts to repel insurgents.

Conrado you have disappointed me. How can you say your government is ready to accept help from Portugal, France and USA without mentioning any of your neighboring countries. Have you forgotten how Zambabwe kept your government from being toppled by the rebel forces in the 80s and early 90s. You are not speaking on behalf of the Mozambican people. You are must be speaking for the same people that are cooking up this conflict.

They came in the 1990s as ‘UAE & Saudi funded charities’ but they were actually madrasses. The seed of this extremism started from there.

Mozambique has police and soldiers, why don’t they fight? A soldier in Mozambique demanded a passport from me, and I gave him. He said I want to see your ID also. I told him I’m not a Mozambican and that I’m a Tourist, so I must only show him my Passport. He said, if I don’t have a South African ID with me, he was arresting me.... I was very angry. So I gave it to him. If I didn’t have it, I was going to jail he said..😡😡😡 Another day, as the Soldiers were searching my bag, I asked what they wanted, they said we want Money. I asked, Money for what? Soldiers and Police In Mozambique have nothing to do but to terrorise visitors.
