The resurgence of armed attacks in various parts of the northern, central and southern regions of Cabo Delgado is resurrecting the humanitarian drama that has not been seen for a long time, after having been halted with the intervention of the forces of the Southern African Development Community Military Mission in Mozambique (SAMIM), as well as the Rwandan Defense Forces (RDF), who came to support the Mozambican Defense and Security Forces..

The most recent example of the reappearance of the humanitarian drama in Cabo Delgado is in Muidumbe, in the north of the province.

In fact, in the town of Miangaleua, administrative post of Chitunda, after the population had resisted and remained in the area, despite the attacks that took place a few weeks ago, the latest terrorist incursions, which took place on December 11 and 12, were the "red light" that made most of the people decide to leave the village in search of comparatively safe places, such as the district headquarters.

According to a media FaxIn the two attacks [11 and 12], the terrorists killed at least two people by beheading, set fire to homes and stalls selling various products, as well as looting various goods, especially foodstuffs.

Residents of the village and surrounding areas lamented the fact that Miangaleua village is approximately seven kilometers from a Defence and Security Forces (DSF) position and ten kilometers from a Rwandan Defence Forces position. It is said that when the attack took place on the 11th, the Rwandan Defense Forces intervened, but the terrorists managed to flee quickly in the direction, it is said, of Inguri village. However, when the terrorists re-entered Miangaleua on the 12th, no forces rushed to the aid of the population.

According to the same publication, the attack was posted on the Islamic State's propaganda platforms, where the group claims to have killed two people and set fire to dozens of houses and stalls selling various types of products.
