Reports from local media in Mozambique suggest that the army faced substantial losses in a militant attack in the northern province of Cabo Delgado last Friday, with allegations surfacing that the true extent of the casualties is being concealed.
While state media mentioned the death of one member of a local militia during the assault on Macomia town, locals claim that the town was actually occupied for a day despite efforts by Rwandan peacekeepers to intervene. Furthermore, a neighboring town faced a separate attack on Sunday.
This incident adds to the ongoing six-year campaign by Islamist militants in northern Mozambique, highlighting the persistent security challenges faced by the region.
