 Now, Islamic State linked insurgents have been active in northern Mozambique since 2017. The northern province of Cabo Delgado has been the site of many attacks. The military, supported by forces from neighbouring countries, have been battling the rebels, but an upsurge in fighting since last December has seen more than 100,000 people displaced. Human Rights Watch says a lot more needs to be done to stop the recruitment of children by insurgents in Mozambique.
