were delayed by approximately *2* weeks without exaggeration, and we are also asking for the 50% we were promised within 15 days from 27 January
This is our cry for help, we have a family to support, we also want to build and give a dignified life to our children and family.

Until 22/02/2023, we ask for the payment of 50% of the back payments, otherwise we here in Cabo Delgado will abandon the trenches. We feel worn out, with a meagre salary. Without what is rightfully ours makes it difficult for us to give.

1. #IS has started reporting attacks from #CaboDelgado again.
This follows a three-month pause in its comms from #Mozambique.
Specifically, in the last three days alone, itâs claimed 16 operations.

2. After the recapture of Mocimboa da Praia three months ago by #Mozambique, #Rwanda & #SouthAfrica (among others), #ISâs comms went dark.
However, its network there was far from inactive, as these latest data, combined with what @ACLEDINFO has been reporting, indicate.

3. From a geographic perspective, #ISâs self-reported activities in recent months have been confined to the Mocimboa da Praia district of #CaboDelgado.
No attacks were reported from Palma, even though @ACLEDINFO data (displayed in yellow) suggests otherwise.

Oil and natural gas reserves is are increasingly becoming a target by #terrorists/ #insurgencies because it accounts for 6.5% of the global GDP. A good example is #Alshabaab attacks in Northern #Mozambique on the @TotalEnergies $20B offshore LNG facility that is the largest
Foreign investment project in #Africa. Cabo Delgado is also home to vast swaths of natural resource wealth.It also harbours the largest known graphite deposits & nearly half of the world's rubies lie under its soil.

That thus makes #CaboDelgado a hotspot for real and perceived grievances, that are often exploited by #terrorists & proxy war mongers to sow unrest to explore these resources in a manner that won't benefit the locals.

3/ Violence involving militants calling themselves "al-Shabab" (not #Somalia's Al-Shabaab) and government forces has spiked since a small group of attackers fired first shots in 2017. When they attacked the town of Palma in March 2021, militants came in their hundreds. See maps:

Foreign fighters arenât new to this conflict. But the attack at #Palma--the latest in a streak of operational successes for ASWJ--& the groupâs affiliation with the #IslamicState have elevated the profile of the insurgency, raising concerns of greater FF involvement in the future
What do foreign fighters mean for #ASWJ & the conflict in #CaboDelgado?
BLUF (part 1): Foreign fightersâ influence is likely to be mixed. In the immediate term, foreign recruits offer #ASWJ a reliable means of boosting their battlefield effectiveness & regional prestige.

The tragic events in #Palma, #CaboDelgado #Mozambique, over the last few days have major implications for peace and security on the Swahili coast of East #Africa. Herewith some thoughts in a mega thread -->
This is an insurgency that has been snowballing since October 2017. It started attacking in the form of small groups of young men, brandishing mainly blunt weapons, and attacking remote security posts. It has evidently now grown into something much more serious.
Recently the U.S. sanctioned the group and called it an affiliate of #IslamicState. By doing so, the group has now been elevated into a box where policy solutions designed to deal with this problem will now be partially framed or qualified by that designation.

In the troubled province of Cabo Delgado in northern Mozambique, Islamic militants allegedly beheaded more than 50 people. As the police announced, the acts are said to have occurred in the past three days.
In the troubled province of Cabo Delgado in northern Mozambique, Islamic militants allegedly beheaded more than 50 people. As the police announced, the acts are said to have occurred in the past three days.
The insurgents attacked several villages, killed civilians, kidnapped women and children and burned houses. "They set the houses on fire and then chased people who fled into the woods and started their macabre actions," a senior police officer said at a press conference.
Witnesses told the local media that militants in a village drove residents to a soccer field and executed them there. Islamist rebels have been carrying out brutal attacks in Cabo Delgado for around three years.

1.The reported deployment of Zim troops in Mozambique represents further reproduction of illegalities&Iâll thought actions by the regime . Assuming there is an urgent military situation in #CaboDelgado surely the region collectively must act.A meeting of @SADC_News must be held
I am intrigued by this old story about a land grab in Mozambique. Great idea but first they to move the people off the land. Ethiopia did this. Sudan did this in the oil areas for decades. That country became South Sudan. #CaboDelgado panamapapers.investigativecenters.org/mozambique/
Oh and America too.
I have seen flat land being bulldozed from Ethiopia to Sudan to Kenya as "Big Ag" transforms Africa. This area would be perfect when linked to the ports. Who will grab it first China or Russia? America might swoop in when it's all done like the LNG. mckinsey.com/industries/agrâŠ

The #Mozambique #CaboDelgado #mercenary gig is out. The meat of this report is correct. I have known about it for a while and watched it unravel as #Concord/Wagner/Lobaye stepped in and kicked out Erik Prince's micro mercenary three month rent an army. zambeze.info/?p=1341
There is an upcoming election in Mozambique and just like in Nigeria in 2015, some rumpty tumpty mercenary jihadi killin' and dark arts election #fuckery is always good for public support. Except it didn't reelect Goodluck Johnson and may not work in Mozambique either.
The Russians bring all the right tools and are happy to take the time it needs to remove insurgent groups. It's tricky tho/ Moz jihadis come from Tanzania and can use the ADF in DRC to bolster...which creates a problem of merc mission creep. Which Putin does not mind at all.
Good RUMINT re #Mozambique. Erik Prince's secret proxy merc helo deal for #CaboDelgado may have been bigfooted by #Putin in deals signed a month ago in Moscow by Nyusi. It looks like VTB and Wagner get the gold mine, Credit Suisse, FSG/EP and the saffers get the shaft.
Many remember when Prince bid on Goodluck Johnson's attempt to flush out Boko Haram from Nigeria and some friends of mine did it for wholesale. Since then Putin has been wiggling his Wagner in African leader's faces and offering a goodie bag that PMC's alone can't provide.
Same crap, different African election. The Russians are providing a complete electionfuckery/mercenary/guns/money package like in DRC, Sudan, Libya etc. People like Prince and even China can't match Putin's Hybrid "Pump You Up!" discount Strongman package. allafrica.com/stories/201909âŠ
