Naitope - Mitopy
On June 4th, 2019, the Islamic State claimed its first attack in Mozambique, reportedly repulsing a Mozambican Army assault in Mitopy, Mocimboa. The claim's authenticity remains unverified, lacking local press confirmation. The Mocimboa region has witnessed prior jihadist attacks, particularly in Cabo Delgado province. The jihadist group alleged casualties and the capture of weapons during the claimed battle. However, the precise Islamic State ties to the region remain unclear. The statement was attributed to the Islamic State’s Central African Province. Mocimboa has faced violence by Ansar al Sunnah, known as al Shabaab, with suspected ties to Tanzanian jihadists. The link to international terrorist groups is uncertain. A confirmed Islamic State link would reshape the understanding of Mozambique's insurgency, adding a layer of mystery to today's claim.
