Religious extremism is taking a toll on the Catholic community in Mozambique. Churches have been razed and there are communities where parishioners live displaced and deserted as a result of the ongoing armed conflict in the country.
The fight over natural resources in northern Mozambique has been identified as one of the causes of the growing conflict as armed groups affiliated with the Islamic State have been launching attacks in villages and communities.

Amid an intense conflict that has lasted for more than three years and left a total of 2,500 dead and at least 400,000 displaced in northern Mozambique, the work of one Brazilian has attracted attention.
The Bishop of Pemba, capital of the province of Cabo Delgado, Dom Luiz Fernando Lisboa is leading the efforts of the Catholic Church to provide humanitarian aid to the internally displaced. These are families who have had to leave their homes and even relatives because of attacks by insurgents who claim to be linked to the radical Islamic State group.
The support, carried out in collaboration with other international organizations, provided these populations with improvised shelter, food and medicine. “There are a lot of displaced people with all kinds of needs,” said the bishop.
