Mozambique’s insurgency becomes regional issue after militants attack Tanzania

摘要

The Islamist insurgency plaguing Mozambique’s Cabo Delgado region has spilled across into neighbouring Tanzania, with 300 militants from Mozambique attacking a village near the Tanzanian port of Mtwara – an oil and gas logistics base – last week, Tanzanian officials confirmed yesterday. The attack left 20 people dead, with the raid showing the Islamic insurgency is becoming a regional problem, which could potentially impact Tanzania’s budding gas sector as well as Mozambique’s coming LNG export boom.
