Islamic State Mozambique activity is spreading as state force operations in #Macomia push fighters south and west, increasing risks to communities, key roads, and mining activity in #CaboDelgado and beyond.

The Islamic State Mozambique is presenting itself as an alternative authority in coastal Cabo Delgado, where a small enclave under its influence persists despite international intervention. Explore how ISM’s violence has diverged across the enclave: acleddata.com/report/jihadis…

Transit corridors between #Tanzania and #Mozambique remain active, sustaining insurgent movement of recruits, supplies, & personnel, highlighting how porous borders & limited maritime control are still shaping security dynamics years into the insurgency. 🔍acleddata.com/update/mozambi…

Apologies for the inconvenience. The X Space scheduled for today on the #SuffocateandSilence report by @estaciovaloi and @MatsinheDM that examines the threats to Mozambique's media environment has been postponed due to technical difficulties. A new date will be announced soon.

Mandar as bases aproximar-se do povo é uma coisa. Reflectir o por quê da existência do distanciamento entre é o povo e o partido, é outra. Mas isso reflecte também a atitude do governo. Mais do que reflectir e atacar a causa dos problemas, prefere apelar.
O PR apela às bases para reforçarem a proximidade com o povo, promovendo uma escuta activa, diálogo permanente e soluções concretas para os desafios das comunidades. Unidos, construímos um futuro melhor. 🇲🇿 #Proximidade #Governação #UnidosPeloPovo #Moçambique

Young people are the driving force of development and we’re listening. Minister @JennyChapman met with Mozambican 🇲🇿 young leaders Joaquina Rodrigues, @tomqueface, @wilkerDias13 and Whitney Sabino, to hear perspectives on the path to meaningful economic and political reforms.

Violence in Cabo Delgado declined at the end of 2025 due to the rainy season, which limited the mobility of both the ISM and state forces. Meanwhile, state forces continued to clash with ISM along the coast and inland. #Mozambique #CaboDelgado zitamar.com/mozambique-confl…

The Swedish are just helping Daniel Chapo achieve his so called 'economic independence'.
Sweden was one of Mozambique’s largest development donors, contributing millions of dollars annually to sectors including energy and climate, health and sexual and reproductive rights, economic and social inclusion, higher education and research moztimes.com/en/sweden-cuts-…

#Mozambique: Insurgents have been moving southwards, seemingly to access recruitment zones and supply corridors in Memba, #Nampula province. A very worrying trend, especially as the government doesn't appear to be tackling it head on. zitamar.com/cabo-delgado-ins…

ISM attacks escalated in #Mozambique’s Palma district. On 6 August, fighters hit Maputo village south of the Afungi LNG plant. Days after, two off-duty FADM soldiers & a taxi driver were killed on the Palma–Pundanhar road, with others abducted. 🔗acleddata.com/update/mozambi…
