No End in Sight for Mozambique's Deadly Northern Insurgency
The ongoing attacks in Cabo Delgado, the northernmost province of Mozambique, has left behind a trail of destruction, forcing scores of people from their homes, destroying villages and health centres, and making it difficult for families to recover from Cyclone Kenneth, which hit the area in April 2019 with ruinous effect. The death toll of this insurgency, including security personnel, insurgents and civilians, stands at over 600, authorities say.
