Maputo Unknown perpetrators have set fire to three villages in Mozambique’s conflict-ridden northern province of Cabo Delgado.
The villages in the district of Ancuabe were attacked on Sunday, President Filipe Nyusi announced on Monday. The attackers looted houses and forced thousands of inhabitants to flee, the president said. Islamist rebels have been carrying out brutal attacks since 2017 in northern Mozambique - a region where the French energy company Total is involved in a liquefied gas project worth billions.
In March 2021, the port town of Palma was attacked by extremists. The terrorist militia Islamic State subsequently announced the capture of the city. (dpa)
