Mozambique's northernmost province hosts an IS-linked insurgency, active since 2017, that has killed 6,600+, displaced 474,000 people, and frozen a US$20 billion LNG project.

IS claimed three June IED attacks on Rwandan forces and raided Xitaxi in Muidumbe; after two months threatening southern mining sites and displacing 21,000+, the insurgents are returning to their Macomia bases
