A intensificação do conflito militar no Norte de Cabo Delgado despertou a atenção de jornalistas, investigadores, analistas de segurança e diplomatas. O facto de os rebeldes armados não darem entrevistas a jornalistas e investigadores resulta num grande desconhecimento sobre as suas dinâmicas internas nas zonas ocupadas, pelo que o mundo dos insurgentes constitui um território repleto de mistérios. Por outro lado, o rapto de centenas de jovens mulheres gera interrogações em torno do...

The intensification of the military conflict in Northern Cabo Delgado has attracted the attention of journalists, investigators, security analysts and diplomats. The fact that armed rebels do not give interviews to journalists and researchers results in a great ignorance about their internal dynamics in the occupied areas, and so the world of insurgents is a territory full of mysteries. On the other hand, the abduction of hundreds of young women raises questions about their whereabouts,...

Nos últimos três anos e meio, Moçambique enfrenta uma violência armada desencadeada por um grupo de natureza jihadista.

Baseado em trabalho de campo nas províncias de Cabo Delgado, Nampula e Niassa, este texto procura...
