A group of miners abandoned a gemstone extraction mine in Meluco, in the Mozambican province of Cabo Delgado, due to the presence of a group of alleged terrorists. The presence of these insurgents in the area of the Matandane mine, in Minhanha, 30 kilometers from the town of Meluco, happened on Wednesday (June 18), when the miners were working at the site.
The invasion of the Matandane mine occurred a day after the Local Force withdrew the elements that guaranteed security in the area. There are no reports of deaths or injuries, but the population has left the area, according to sources on the ground.
