Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>At least three people died in a terrorist attack in the district of Mocimboa da Praia, in the Mozambican province of Cabo Delgado, near the headquarters town, the spokesperson for the Mocimbioa da Praia Municipal Counci Vlicente Alfandega told Lusa news agency on Saturday (06.01).<\/p>\n

According to Vicente Alfandega, the latest attack took place on Friday, around 7:00 p.m. local time, in the community of Chimbanga, less than 50 kilometres from the district headquarters town of Mocimboa da Praia. At least three people were killed and several residences destroyed.<\/p>\n

In addition to this attack, another group of terrorists, using canoes, arrived on Thursday on the island of Tembuze, also in Cabo Delgado, menacing fishermen and looing commercial products and other goods from residents.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey didn\u2019t kill there, they just looted goods, food, drinks. Everything that was of commercial value for someone to make a living or return,\u201d a spokesperson for the municipal council Vicente Alfandega reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cA setback\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

The attacks on Mocimboa da Praia and other parts of Cabo Delgado take place at a time when populations are engaged in seasonal food production, activity threatened by these attacks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is the guarantee […] that by next year we would be less dependent. Now, with this situation of unrest, it is a setback,\u201d Alfandega concluded.<\/p>\n

Last Wednesday, armed groups once again attacked the district of Moci\u0301mboa da Praia, in the community of Nto\u0301twe\u0301, just a few kilometres from Awasse, where Rwandan forces supporting Mozambique in the fight against rebel groups in Cabo Delgado have a garrison.<\/p>\n

The Ntotwe attack caused an as yet undetermined number of deaths, according to sources on the ground. \u201cThey raided stores, took products and other goods from the population and fled. So far I have no information about deaths,\u201d a local resident who took refuge in the Awasse administrative post told Lusa.<\/p>\n

People on the run<\/b><\/p>\n

The latest rebel incursion caused people from Nto\u0301twe\u0301 to flee to the administrative post of Awasse, although it drew an immediate response from Mozambican and Rwandan forces in the vicinity.<\/p>\n

The village of Nto\u0301twe\u0301 is just over 100 kilometres from Moci\u0301mboa da Praia on National Road Number 380, one of the few paved roads in the region, which connects to the northernmost districts of Cabo Delgado, where the Rovuma gas projects are situated.<\/p>\n

The district of Moci\u0301mboa da Praia, in the north of Cabo Delgado, was the terrorists\u2019 first target, on October 5, 2017, with the insurgents later attacking other parts of the province.<\/p>\n

Almost the entire population of around 62,000 people abandoned the coastal town following the intensification of insurgent actions in June 2020.<\/p>\n
