Insurgents believed to be linked with the Islamic State struck a northern Mozambique port town on September 22, killing and beheading civilians in an assault that highlighted gas-producing region Cabo Delgado’s persistent security crisis, AFP reported.
The attack deepens concern about Mozambique’s $20bn LNG sector, anchored by TotalEnergies’ project in Cabo Delgado. Operations have been suspended under force majeure since 2021 following earlier assaults in Palma.
