Mozambique: church on fire: three dead, eleven children kidnapped

A church set on fire, three people killed and eleven children kidnapped: this is the new, tragic toll of the jihadist violence that continues to ravage northern Mozambique in the face of worldwide indifference.

The attacks, carried out on the night between Thursday and Friday by militiamen affiliated with the self-styled Islamic State, hit the districts of Nangade and Palma, in the province of Cabo Delgado, where for eight years a war has been fought that has so far claimed more than 6,200 lives and displaced more than 1.3 million people.
