Rights Group Decries 'Horror' of Mozambique Islamist Insurgency

14 Apr 2021 A leading Catholic charity has condemned the massive Islamist uprising taking place in Mozambique, which has involved atrocities such as mass beheadings. “Africa is no stranger to violence on a vast scale but even by these standards, the horror of what is unfolding in Mozambique is truly indescribable – almost beyond compare,” said John Pontifex, spokesman for Aid to the Church in Need (ACN), in an interview this week with Crux. The stories emerging out of Mozambique “are beyond our worst fears,” Pontifex said, with “reports of children as young as 11 being beheaded.” Muslim militants, known locally as al-Shabab (different from the Somalia-based al-Shabab group), launched an invasion in March on the coastal town of Palma. The uprising drew the attention of international news after at least seven expatriate workers were shot dead by the gunmen.
