As extracted from a Strategy Page Internet web site article the Mozambique situation in the nutshell [more than a nutshell if you read the entire article]. Thankis to Strategy Page and Andrew Mulholland

"Counter-Terrorism: Mozambique Matters"

"April 16, 2021: The Islamic terrorism problem has gotten worse, and is happening in a country where Moslems are a minority." 

20 % of the population Mozambique Muslim!

"Since the natural gas discoveries over a decade ago, Mozambique’s northernmost region, the Cabo Delgado area came to be called the Cinderella province because of the expected oil and natural gas bonanza." 

"The local anger at the new natural resource bonanza is a common phenomenon in Africa, where most nations with oil or natural gas or any valuable exportable raw material see most of the export income stolen by corrupt politicians."

POOR GOVERNANCE, AN INEPT AND INSUFFICIENT MILITARY VERSUS MOTIVATED JIHADISTS AND YOU THE RECIPE FOR DISASTER.

Devoted readers to the blog are encouraged to read the entire whole Strategy Page article. Mozambique not going away as a news item I fear both in the short and long term.
