Extremists killed at least 19 people in ten days in Cabo Delgado

In Cabo Delgado, Mozambique, extremist attacks linked to ISIS have resulted in at least 19 deaths over ten days, according to ACLED. The violence occurred in Mueda and Muidumbe districts, with victims primarily being civilians engaged in daily activities. Despite military efforts to disrupt insurgent logistics, the group has maintained operational capabilities. The attacks have raised concerns about community tensions, particularly between the Makonde and Mwani ethnic groups, as the victims were described as Christians. The ongoing insurgency, which began in 2017, has led to over 6,600 deaths and 1.3 million displaced individuals.
