Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby on Thursday said the brutality of the extremist violence in Mozambique\u2019s northern Cabo Delgado region was overwhelming, after a visit to the jihadist-hit region.<\/p>\n

The highest-ranking cleric in the Church of England, Welby made the remarks during a sermon in Cape Town after visiting neighbouring Mozambique where he met survivors of the insurgency.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt stunned by what I saw, the cruelty that is there is an overwhelming one, it leaves you breathless, feels as though you have been punched in the stomach with horror,\u201d he said at the cathedral where Archbishop Desmond Tutu once preached.<\/p>\n

He said he met in Cabo Delgado people who have been \u201cchased from their homes by ISIS… (and) agonised and tortured before they ran\u201d including young women who saw their babies killed.<\/p>\n

The five-year insurgency waged by fighters, who have proclaimed allegiance to the Islamic State group, has claimed more than 4,000 lives \u2014 around half of them civilians, according to global conflict tracking organisation Acled. About a million people have fled their homes.<\/p>\n

The Archbishop was on a five day long pastoral visit to Mozambique aimed at fostering solidarity, peace and reconciliation.<\/p>\n

He said he plans to visit Ukraine next week.<\/p>\n
