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.
According to experts, the rebellion has its roots in the grievances and complaints of residents of the poor region, but it is increasingly becoming an Islamist group with ties to the terrorist militia Islamic State (IS). In the fight against the rebellion,
according to human rights activists, serious human rights violations by security forces also occur again and again, and experts say that this and the neglect of the province by the national government fuel the rebellion.
