Syrah – What You Don’t Know Can’t Harm You?

We are somewhat bemused to note that Syrah Resources thought it not worthy of note that Cabo
Delgado province of Mozambique is on fire at the moment with hundreds murdered by ISIL-acolytes and
foreigners (and locals) fleeing in droves (well, those who weren’t murdered).
The Islamist insurgency is mainly being fought between Islamist militants attempting to establish an
Islamic state in the region, and Mozambican security forces. Civilians have been the main targets of
attacks by Islamist militants. The main insurgent faction is Ansar al-Sunna, a native extremist faction
with nebulous international connections. From mid-2018, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)
has allegedly become active in northern Mozambique as well, and claimed its first attack against
Mozambican security forces in June 2019.
Things have heated up since mid-March when the major town of Palma was besieged by insurgents via
cutting off supply lines, most notably food supplies. Mozambican authorities used air transport to fly in
supplies to the town. The matter started to cause international concern and the United States deployed
the Green Berets special forces to train Mozambican marines.
Escalation ensued when, on the 24th of March, ISIL militants conducted a major attack on the town of
Palma, following a loss of communication from the town. Militants first attacked the police station and
then proceeded to rob the town's banks. A military source in Palma claimed “government forces resisted
but then had to flee” as the militants were using “heavy weapons that they had not seen before”.
