Interior Minister Amad Miquidade on Thursday reported around 20 attacks on 11 Cabo Delgado villages between the 3rd and 12th of May.
Mozambique’s army said it has killed 50 suspected jihadists in the northern Cabo Delgado province after another spate of insurgent attacks in the gas-rich region this week.
Miquidade said the militants had abducted citizens, destroyed a newly-built hospital and cut off telecommunication lines. Another eight were killed after the military quashed an attempted assault in Quissanga district early on Thursday, the minister added. Mozambican authorities have struggled to tackle the Cabo Delgado insurgency and only started officially acknowledging the unrest last month.
