“Ten dead in ‘brutal’ attacks by Isis-linked militants on Mozambique wildlife reserve,” by Patrick Greenfield, Guardian, May 18, 2025:
One of Africa’s largest protected areas has been shaken by a series of attacks by Islamic State-linked extremists, which have left at least 10 people dead.
Conservationists in Niassa reserve, Mozambique, say decades of work to rebuild populations of lions, elephants and other keystone species are being jeopardised, as conservation operations grind to a halt.
On 29 April, militants attacked buildings in Niassa, killing two anti-poaching scouts. Two more scouts are missing and another seriously injured. The attack, which was later claimed by Islamic State-Mozambique, came 10 days after another raid on a nearby safari camp in which two people were beheaded and six soldiers were killed….
“The worst thing about these kind of attacks, which is kind of the point, is the fear factor. The attacks are brutal: the two carpenters that were killed at the safari camp were beheaded. There is enormous fear from communities from the brutality of the attack,” said Colleen Begg, managing director of Niassa Carnivore Project, whose headquarters were attacked in the 29 April raid….
Islamic State Mozambique, known locally as al-Shabaab although not linked to the group in Somalia, emerged in 2017 and has displaced more than 1 million people in northern Mozambique as its activities have expanded. While there was a crackdown on the group after an attack on the city of Palma that resulted in the suspension of a major gas project by TotalEnergies, the militants remain active in the country’s northernmost province.
Nine conservation and safari camps have been abandoned since the attacks, with one destroyed by the Islamist group. Begg said that urgent support was needed to restore peace in the region and prevent further loss of life. The Mozambican army is in pursuit of the IS-linked group….
abu taleb says
For years, I had been presenting the news about jihadis killing non muslims in a forum, the muslims there kept silence, or they just attacked me personally.
So, those muslims must have known the crimes done in the name of Allah but they do nothing except defending Islam. They are complicit with the crime. Yet, they may be considered as moderate, they are brefriend with non muslims, wishing Merry Christmas to the Christians (or similar action to other non muslims), of course not to me. In a way, they try to deceive non muslims that Islam is a peaceful religion so that the jihadis can kill non muslims easier.
There is no moderate muslims as they are helping killing the non muslims.
