In Mozambique's Cabo Delgado province, local villagers, described as 'brave souls,' have taken action against suspected terrorists, while the military's operations were disrupted due to clashes between the peasant militia known as 'naparamas' and jihadist fighters. Concurrently, the South African President Cyril Ramaphosa announced the extension of the army's deployment in the region to counter the ongoing Islamic State rebellion, with plans to withdraw in December 2024. The situation escalated as ISIS insurgents intensified their presence along the coastline, and a distressing incident involved the execution of a captured Mozambican Army member, which was publicized by ISIS.
