Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The latest attack by Islamic State-affiliated insurgents left three dead on Sunday 24, including a community leader from Chitama village, in the interior of Nangade district in Cabo Delgado, VOA was told on Tuesday 26-10 by witnesses and other local sources.<\/p>\n

The victims had just returned to Chitama village, reportedly to harvest cashew nuts in their plantations. Almost everyone had left the village nearly eight months ago due to previous attacks by the group locally known as \u2018al-Shaabab\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey killed the leader and two other people. One of them was in the Tsonga production camp,\u201d Abu Algy, a resident of Nangade, close to the Tanzanian border, told VOA, quoting a survivor, and then stating that \u201cpeople are tired\u201d of living in IDP camps and \u201cthat\u2019s why they risk returning to the villages\u201d, despite the security situation.<\/p>\n

Another resident said that \u201cthe evildoers killed the leader and two men of the local force (community police)\u201d, adding: \u201cNowadays, we don\u2019t know where the \u2018machababos\u2019 local name for the insurgents] are.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abduction and release of women<\/b><\/p>\n

The attackers allegedly abducted three women whom they forced to carry bundles of cashew nuts, but later released them, the source continued.<\/p>\n

The villagers\u2019 accounts are consistent with those of a survivor, who explained that the group entered Chitama village \u201csneakily\u201d, without firing any shots, and began \u201cto search the fields where people were picking cashew nuts\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany managed to flee and escape the attack,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n

Authorities have yet to comment on the incident.<\/p>\n

Further south of Nangade, in Macomia, two other people were beheaded on Friday 22, while they were drawing drinking water from a well in the village of Lumumua.<\/p>\n

Tanzanian media, citing local sources, reported on Monday that an attack attributed to Islamic State militants (ISCAP) left several houses burned in the village of Kilimahewa, near the town of Mihambwe.<\/p>\n

Small pockets of resistance had already been reported in September with attacks on villages in Mueda and Quissanga districts causing fatalities and leaving several huts burned to the ground.<\/p>\n

Military sources report that military operations by Rwandan, SADC (SAMIM) and Mozambican forces are ongoing in parts of Macomia, Nangade, Moc\u00edmboa da Praia, Mueda and Palma districts, suggesting that outbreaks of insurgency persist in these regions.<\/p>\n

Information on the ground also indicates that groups of dozens of insurgents are still active in the Macomia-Nangade-Mueda region, with occasional fighting occurring there.<\/p>\n
