Five years of insurgency in Mozambique

Mozambique is marking five years since a violent insurgency began in the country’s northernmost Cabo Delgado province.

Mozambique is marking five years since a violent insurgency began in the country’s northernmost Cabo Delgado province. In the past five years, 4,000 people have been killed and over a million have been displaced. Zenaida Machado from Human Rights Watch tells us why the Mozambican government has struggled to contain the violence.

Plus, more than six months on from the attack on the Abuja-Kaduna train in Nigeria, the final group of hostages has been released. We speak to the head of the committee tasked with securing their freedom.

And a special report from Lira in northern Uganda, where women have been banned from riding in the front cabins of trucks in a bid to reduce road accidents.
