Mozambique insurgency: 20,000 still trapped near gas plant six weeks after attack

Last modified on Fri 7 May 2021 02.17 EDT More than 20,000 Mozambicans have been trapped near a huge natural gas project in the country’s Cabo Delgado province, more than a month since it was abandoned after a militant attack. People camped at the gates of French energy company Total’s Afungi site have had been unable to escape, despite fears of imminent violence, and have limited food because the Mozambican government has blocked humanitarian access. Total evacuated their staff immediately after Isis-affiliated group al-Shabaab – which is not linked to the Somali group of the same name – attacked the nearby port town of Palma on 24 March, killing dozens of people. It withdrew soon afterwards but has been burning houses in suburbs around Palma and attacking fishers, including beheading some, according to Cabo Ligado, a weekly report on violence in the area.
