  • Cabo Ligado Weekly: 7-13 June 2021
    OBSERVATORY CONFLICT CONFLICT 17 June 2021 Cabo Ligado Weekly: 7-13 June 2021 Cabo Ligado — or ‘connected cape’ — is a Mozambique conflict observatory launched by ACLED, Zitamar News, and Mediafax. BY THE NUMBERS Cabo Delgado, October 2017-June 2021 • Total number of organized political violence events: 895 • Total number of reported fatalities from organized political violence: 2,887 • Total number of reported fatalities from civilian targeting: 1,420 All ACLED data are available for download via the data export tool. SITUATION SUMMARY The conflict in Cabo Delgado was relatively quiet last week. However, new information about earlier events has come to light. The only confirmed conflict incident from last week took place on 12 June near the village of Nova Família, Nangade district, where local hunters found two decapitated bodies in a swamp close to the village. A local official claimed that the bodies must have been insurgents killed by government forces in the area. Government forces, however, are not commonly known to decapitate their victims, suggesting that these people were likely killed by insurgents. A media report that the Mozambican military is utilizing anti-vehicle landmines, including one that detonated on a road in Muidumbe district on 30 May, was vociferously denied by the country’s defense ministry. Mo- zambique has a long and terrible history with landmines, which were used extensively during the country’s civil war and which killed and injured many civilians. After a long and costly effort, the country was declared landmine-free in 2015. A defense ministry spokesman cited Mozambique’s commitment to the Ottawa Treaty, which bans anti-personnel mines and which Mozambique ratified in 1998, in his denial.

  • SOUTHERN AFRICAN JIHAD the Cabo Delgado Insurgency Part II of III
    March 2020 SOUTHERN AFRICAN JIHAD The Cabo Delgado Insurgency Part II of III Cabo Delgado Ignites, October 2017 - 31 January 2020 www.intelyse.com Document Title: Southern Africa Jihad Part II of III Version number: 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Militants in October of 2017 began low-intensity attacks in remote areas of Cabo Delgado. This rudimentary rebellion, carried out by a small number of local insurgents armed with machetes at its inception, would by the end of January 2020 transform into an increasingly sophisticated, disruptive, and deadly insurgency active in the majority of the province and present a significant threat to oil and gas developments in Palma District. • Militant attacks began in October 2017, remaining at a relatively low-intensity insurgency until a significant expansion in range and frequency of attacks in 2019. An inadequate security force response, fertile recruiting ground, and the establishment of safe-haven areas for insurgents all contributed to the explosion of militant activity seen in the province in 2019. • While just 6 insurgency-related incidents were tracked by Intelyse in the province in April 2019, 36 incidents were tracked in November 2019 by contrast (see above image). The UN and Mozambican government by the end of January 2020 estimated that over 100,000 people had been displaced by the insurgency. • Within nine months from 01 May 2019 to 31 January 2020, insurgents expanded their attacks to impact 9 of the province’s 16 districts. This includes insurgent activity in late January 2020 in Quissanga District, which threatens to spill over into rural areas of Pemba District, the seat of the provincial capital Pemba.

The conference was conducted under the "Chatham House Rule" that "participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s), nor that of any other participant, may be revealed."

    CMI INSIGHT 2020:02 1 NUMBER 2 CMI INSIGHT MAY 2020 Photo: F Mira on Flickr (CC BY-SA 2.0) War in resource-rich northern Mozambique – Six scenarios AUTHOR Since the October 2017 attacks by alleged Islamist insurgents, Francisco Almeida commonly referred to as Ahlu Sunnah Wa-Jama and locally know as 1 dos Santos Al Shabab, on Mocimboa da Praia, it has not been entirely clear who the attackers were, what their strategic objectives are and on whose domestic and international support they rely. This paper, grounded in a historical understanding of conflict in northern Mozambique’s Cabo Delgado Province, seeks to identify possible stakeholders and scenarios in what we no longer see as an insurgency, but a war. 2 CMI INSIGHT 2020:02 Introduction horizon, at least in terms of upstream and downstream The attacks have been happening at a critical juncture investment and revenue generation, from 2024 onwards in Mozambique’s history.
