This is part of an alert issued on 10 March before the last weeks attacks. Remember there is very limited reporting from the region other than IS and the odd government announcement. Reports are gone.

The presence of IS is contributing to the growing sophistication and deadliness of militant attacks in Mozambique. The group has essentially been driven out of its strongholds in Iraq and Syria and dozens of its fighters have moved to join the group’s African “provinces” including ISCAP.The Mozambican army has struggled to contain and combat the insurgency despite the end of the low-level Renamo insurgency in the country’s central provinces freeing up military capacity and the deployment of Russian military contractors. This is partly due to the manner in which the Mozambican army has addressed the situation. The military has shut down large swathes of Cabo Delgado and not permitted journalists or non-governmental organisations (NGOs) access. This, combined with the practice of arbitrarily arresting hundreds of Mozambicans on spurious grounds in the name of fighting the insurgency, and reports of crimes by soldiers, has failed to win over local Cabo Delgado residents and likely helps the Islamist militants in their recruitment efforts.
