Dozens Killed in Attacks in Mozambique's Cabo Delgado Province
--------------------------------------------------------------

In northern Mozambique, dozens of people are dead and thousands more
displaced after an armed group converged on the town of Palma in Cabo
Delgado province. The fighters assaulted a military barracks, opened
fire on civilians, set fire to buildings and hunted down government
officials. Mozambique's military blamed an ISIS-aligned group for the
attacks. Since 2017, fighting in northern Mozambique has left thousands
dead and some 700,000 people displaced.
