What will it take for Mozambique’s Cabo Delgado to find peace?
“If the Islamist extremist groups succeed in entrenching themselves in Cabo Delgado, they will launch attacks in different parts of the continent” – Professor Adriano Nuvunga of the Center for Democracy and Human Rights
Just as Mozambique's authorities thought Cabo Delgado province in the north of the country was beginning to stabilise, trouble started again.
Insurgents linked to the group, Islamic State have launched new attacks on the area in recent weeks.
As a result, more than 70 children are now missing. The authorities say they were separated from their families as thousands of people fled to a neighbouring province.
According to Doctors Without Borders, over half a million people in that province remain displaced as of December 2023.
The insurgency in gas-rich Cabo Delgado, launched by the IS-linked local al-Shabab militia, is now in its seventh year.
High levels of poverty and disputes over access to land and jobs have contributed to local grievances.
Today Alan Kasujja attempts to understand what it will take to end the conflict in Cabo Delgado.
