The northern Cabo Delgado Province in Mozambique, once a haven of tranquility, has been ravaged by Islamic State militants for over seven years. Despite the government's claims of stability, locals paint a starkly different picture, revealing a region plagued by terrorism and insecurity. With the militant group's grip on the area showing no signs of loosening, the humanitarian crisis deepens, sparking concerns of a prolonged conflict. As the situation continues to deteriorate, the international community is urged to intervene, addressing the root causes of the insurgency and providing aid to affected populations. Key issues include counter-terrorism, insurgency, and humanitarian aid.
