Social asymmetries: clues to understand the spread of islamist jihadism in Cabo Delgado
Abstract
This article intends to reflect around the level of poverty and inequality existing among the various ethno-linguistic groups of the province, trying to gauge the extent to which they may be at the root of the current conflict. In this sense, 94 individuals were interviewed in the districts of Palma, Mocímboa da Praia, Macomia, Muidumbe and Montepuez (macuas, macondes, muânis and mácues), trying to understand what representations they build on the different ethno-linguistic groups in the province, in terms of access to business, employment and income, as well as State support. Throughout the text, an attempt is made to understand the socio-economic factors that can lead to the adherence (direct or indirect) of local populations to violent groups.
