U.N. Warns 1 Million Could Be Displaced in Mozambique’s Cabo Delgado Region

HeadlineMar 24, 2021

In Mozambique, the United Nations warns up to 1 million people could be displaced by June amid the escalating violence in the northern Cabo Delgado province. Some 2,000 people have been killed since 2017, when fighters allied with the Islamic State group began an anti-government insurgency. This month, the Biden administration declared the insurgents a “foreign terrorist organization” and sent U.S. Green Berets to Mozambique to train soldiers in counterinsurgency. Amnesty International said in a new report published this month that all sides in the conflict have committed war crimes — including the insurgents and government forces.
