The Mozambican army has thwarted attempts to recruit militants
Yesterday, the president of Mozambique, Filipe Nyusi, announced that the country's army has thwarted the efforts of the insurgents to recruit young children in the Chiure district in the north of the country.
The President stated this in a meeting with the media after a meeting with senior government officials of Cabo Delgado province.
He said that the insurgents have returned to the southern areas of Cabo Delgado province to recruit young people.
"Actually, the Ocua crisis must be expected because they want to recruit children for terrorist activities," said Nyusi.
The area has seen an increase in militant activity in recent weeks, with local media linking it to a "kill them wherever you find them" campaign launched by the Islamic State group on January 4.
