Vamizi Island
A group of insurgents invaded and captured two strategic islands near Palma and Mocímboa da Praia in Cabo Delgado province. The attack on Vamizi Island took place on Tuesday, September the 8th of 2020, leading to the displacement of residents who had sought refuge there. Insurgents arrived in small rowing boats, gathered the residents, and instructed them to leave the island. They burned houses and issued a warning against returning. During the invasion, only one displaced person was killed because he recognized one of the attackers. The islands are of strategic importance to the towns of Palma and Mocímboa da Praia, particularly for unloading goods, including drugs, that supply the national and regional markets.
