Recent events in Palma, a town in the volatile Cabo Delgado province in the north of Mozambique, have taken bloodshed in the region to new levels. Dozens of people were killed when hundreds of Islamist militants stormed the town on Wednesday, 25 March. They targeted shops, banks and a military barracks. The attack has been devastating for the people living in the area – as well as the country. The escalating violence has already left at least a thousand dead and displaced hundreds of thousands more.

Monster insurgency : Maputo must address militant grievances while boosting Palma security

31 March 2021 16:09 GMT Updated 1 April 2021 9:49 GMT in London Mozambique’s government needs to quickly seize control over the Islamist insurgency in Cabo Delgado to ensure companies such as Total and ExxonMobil can continue to invest tens of billions of dollars to monetise the restive province’s huge gas resources, according to country experts. While the Maputo administration can beef up security around Afungi where multiple liquefied natural gas plants are due to be built it appears not to have enough skilled and motivated troops to quell the insurgency right across the province. The US has been providing and will continue to provide military training through its Green Berets, according to reports, while Portugal has accelerated the deployment of special forces trainers to Mozambique.
