Some are leaving again,\u201d one village resident said. The Nova Zambe\u0301zia village is located on National Road No.380, almost 250 kilometres from Pemba, the provincial capital. Cabo Delgado province has been facing an armed insurgency for five years with some attacks claimed by the extremist group Islamic State.<\/p>\n<p>The insurgency has led to a military response since July 2021 with the support of Rwanda and SADC, liberating districts next to the gas projects, but new waves of attacks have appeared in the south of the region and in the neighbouring province of Nampula.<\/p>\n<p>The conflict has already displaced one million people, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and around 4,000 deaths, according to the ACLED conflict registration project.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mozambique\">Mozambique<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
