Security Update

The province's insurgents events have been steadily decreasing over the first five months of the year. With the conclusion of the rains and the end of Ramadan, the frequency of incidents was projected to increase. Violence has continued to escalate in Muidumbe district, spilling over occasionally into northern and central Macomia, with insurgents also returning to Meluco and Nangade. Insurgents reported to be using ‘hearts and minds’ strategy by emphasizing that they do not intend to cause any harm warning the civilians not to cooperate with security forces. Reports also point out that some people along the coastal communities in Macomia are said to be living peacefully with the insurgents (Source ACLED).
