Since October 2017, Cabo Delgado in Mozambique has been the focal point of a violent insurgency, resulting in widespread human rights abuses, significant infrastructure damage, and over 5,700 fatalities, including nearly 2,400 civilians. This conflict has led to the internal displacement of hundreds of thousands of people, predominantly women and children, who face increased risks of exploitation. The region, one of the poorest in Mozambique, has seen its community resilience severely compromised, with longstanding cross-border economic, familial, and cultural ties with southern Tanzania being adversely affected.
