Mozambique: ‘I watched extremists behead my neighbor’
The Telegraph thinks that the Mozambican government is using the Islamic State jihadis to help it gain control of the oil and gas reserves.

ISIS Mozambique: ‘We declare war on all Christians in the world, either to be a Muslim or paying jizya’
“Fight against those do not believe in Allah or the last day, and do not forbid what Allah and his messenger have forbidden, and do not follow the religion of truth, even if they are among the people of the book, until they pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.” (Qur’an 9:29) […]
Mozambique: Islamic State jihadis kill three Christians, president says ‘this is not a religious conflict’
What does he think it is? “The brutality with which the terrorists operate has made it clear that this is not a religious conflict, but a phenomenon driven by factors such as money laundering, drug trafficking, the squandering of mineral resources, among other types of crime.” What makes Nyusi think the brutality of the Islamic […]

This is reminiscent of other incidents, including when a Muslim in Minnesota in 2016 asked mall shoppers if they were Muslim and then stabbed non-Muslims. And also in Mozambique in August 2023, Muslims abducted two fishermen, beheaded the Christian, and freed the Muslim. In Uganda in June 2023, Muslims murdered 42 people at a school after asking […]

Mozambique: Suspected Islamic State jihadis attack ruby mine, company to evacuate staff

Mozambique: A million displaced as jihad violence spreads despite military efforts
Few care enough (especially the mainstream media and most politicians) about the millions suffering in Africa or the genocide against Christians there.
