As the conflict intensifies in Cabo Delgado, Crisis (IPC Phase 3) outcomes also persist in this area, as an increasing number of people are displaced and lose access to their typical food and income sources.

In all other areas of the country, Minimal (IPC Phase 1) outcomes are expected due to favorable food availability and access.

    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.

  • Cabo Ligado Weekly: 11-17 January Published 19 January 2021
    Cabo Ligado Weekly: 11-17 January Published 19 January 2021 Cabo Ligado — or ‘connected cape’ — is a conflict observatory monitoring political violence in Mozambique, launched in partnership with Zitamar News, Mediafax, and the International Crisis Group. Situation Summary There were few reported insurgent operations in Cabo Delgado last week. Instead, government forces made most of the headlines, both for recovering kidnapped civilians in Macomia district and for ongoing abuses against civilians in Muidumbe district. On 13 January, Mozambican police chief Bernardino Rafael presented to reporters 15 women and ​ six children who government forces had rescued after they were kidnapped during the 7 January ​ insurgent attack on Ilha Matemo, Ibo district. After leaving Ilha Matemo, the group stopped at Olumboa, Macomia district. According to Rafael, helicopters working with government forces tracked the group to Olumboa and then assaulted the insurgents, separating the 21 hostages from their captors. Casualties among insurgents or hostages are unknown. Speaking to reporters, one of the women recounted that they had been taken by a group of roughly 30 insurgents, who told them that they would be sent to Mocimboa da Praia to study in a madrassa. This account is similar to other reports from people who have lived under insurgent control. Many such reports have ​ described efforts to indoctrinate civilians into insurgent religious and political ideas in areas of strong insurgent control. Even in a light week for insurgent operations, the road between Nangade and Palma remained an insurgent target. On 15 January, two civilians driving a truck toward Palma abandoned their vehicle after seeing a suspicious motorbike on the road.

Reports are confused and sometimes conflicting, which is exacerbated by the increasingly severe limitations on the press. Palma community radio journalist Ibraimo Mbaruco has been missing since he was taken, apparently by the military, on 7 April; there are growing fears that he has been "disappeared" by the military. And for its regular Wednesday Maputo press briefings, the General Command of the Mozambican Police on 15 and 22 April only invited state media, Radio Moçambique (RM) and Mozambique Television (TVM), and excluded all private and independent media. MISA (Media Institute of Southern Africa) in a critical 24 April statement suggested this was a response to private media criticism of police behaviour.

    Cabo Ligado Weekly: 13-19 July Published 21 July 2020 Cabo Ligado — or ‘connected cape’ — is a new conflict observatory monitoring political violence in Mozambique, launched in partnership with Zitamar News, Mediafax, and the International Crisis Group. Situation Summary The civilian security situation in Cabo Delgado worsened further last week, as spreading disease joined insurgent and state violence as a direct threat to civilian lives in Mozambique’s northeast. Reports of insurgent violence last week included five incidents across Macomia, Mocimboa da Praia, and Ibo districts, while reports of government violence against civilians came from Mocimboa da Praia and Pemba districts. In a return to an area they occupied as recently as early June, insurgents raided Litamanda and Chai, in Macomia district, on the evening of 14 July. They killed one civilian and burned five homes in Litamanda, while in Chai they looted extensively without causing any casualties. The next day, according to a report from the Facebook page Bifes de Pemba, a raiding party attempting to return to ​ Chai from Mocimboa da Praia district struck Mungue, on the border between Mocimboa da Praia and Muidumbe districts. The report, as yet unconfirmed, states that insurgents killed over 20 civilians in Mungue. On 17 July, a man was found dead near Muagamula, Macomia district. Locals believe he was ambushed by insurgents. He was a security guard at a gospel radio station, but there is no indication that he was targeted for his religion. On 19 July, insurgents kidnapped a woman and looted in Mussemuco, Ibo district. The attack caused many residents of Mussemuco, which is on the mainland, to flee to Ibo Island, where many other displaced Mozambicans are already living.
