The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) estimates that almost 2,100 people have fled two villages due to recent attacks by armed groups in a protected area in northern Mozambique.
The attacks occurred on Niassa Special Reserve by alleged insurgents and left two dead and two missing. In recent days, however, the Islamic State has claimed, through its propaganda channels, three deaths in an attack in the province of Niassa. According to the UNHCR, 60% of the displaced fled for fear of an “imminent attack” by the armed groups and were unable to collect their belongings as they fled.
