gun battles have been going on for days between the armed group that calls itself al-shabaab and government forces trying to take back control of the coastal town. there's been fighting in northern missouri and beak mainly in kabul delgado province since 2017 this is a region major gas discoveries have been made in recent years but the town of parma has been relatively safe for foreigners working on africa's largest liquefied natural gas project until this week the french in the g. giant hotel has now evacuated 1000 of its workers that suspended its operations it was due to restart a 20000000000 dollar project after stopping work in january because of security concerns that's now on hold. on. we're. trying to. project the. region more than 2500 people have been killed and half a 1000000 forced to leave their homes during years of fighting in the province it's really a toxic mix of various issues it is programmed the northernmost province or is marginalized people feel frustrated they have been people who don't know if they live. mining activities they ruby mines specifically amnesty interna

angle including the al-shabaab. 'd getting that chance or include themselves in closing in the society collecting tax in the cities among them in mogadishu of the deport the publicly that shabab collecting now sex developing double tax it's very dangerous and it's getting to us my sister states goes from others to the very wrong their actions and a man called if the international community or when harper will malia a lot of investment a lot of attention to make sure somalia. can't see the sort of stability achieved in east africa particularly somalia if they don't change. the way they are facing the the president who's ended because they're entertaining our concerns of the into painting a lot because we understand the. diplomatic broadly that banks are the diplomats the leverage that they have had to put pressure as president i think will change other ways the concern is getting greater and then coming very very very thick ice a hard time is back with us that's great to have you back i want to play is a strong heart

so locals there called the group although they have nothing to do with al-shabaab in somalia but the group basically started very similar to what we've seen in northeastern nigeria very poor part of the country a lot of people are unhappy that the government is not doing anything and these groups that where more and more radicalized and got more and more people supporting them the government has been downplaying the issue and when things spiraled out of control they still try to block access for journalists for n.g.o.s until we reach a situation that we have now whereby we've seen many attacks in the past month villages where text when i was there had the most gruesome stories from residents fleeing beheadings of civilians children kidnapped terrible stories that by the stations not even clear what this group really wants it is likely that it's much more about power and access to resources than it is about religion what impact will these attacks have and the decision of course by the french company to town to withdraw. it would be a disaster for the government to be frank with them b

so locals there called the group over they have nothing to do with al-shabaab in somalia but the group basically started very similar to what we've seen in northeastern nigeria very poor part of the country a lot of people unhappy that the government is not doing anything and these groups that were more and more radicalized and got more and more people supporting them the government has been downplaying the issue and when things spiraled out of control they still tried to block access for journalists for n.g.o.s until we reached a situation that we have now whereby we've seen many attacks in the past month villages where text when i was there had the most gruesome stories from residents fleeing beheadings of civilians children kidnapped terrible stories that by the stage it's not even clear what this group really wants it is likely that it's much more about power and access to resources than it is about religion what impact will these attacks have and the decision of course by the french company to town to withdraw. that would be a disaster for the government to be frank was on because

we've also seen happen over the past few weeks is that the united states has designated this group al-shabaab a terrorist organization what do you think their own goal is and how much of it is an influence from outside an external ideology and how much of it is a reflection of the instability the insecurity and the corruption that obviously plagues that area. well it's all of the above so you're right the united states government a couple of weeks ago labeled al shabaab a foreign terrorist organization f t o but interestingly the one name that they named in it want the one named person is a tanzanian and so i think viewers of l.g. syria should see this not just as a mozambican problem but regional one it involves tanzania and there are some connections with the eastern congo but fundamentally the issues that are at the heart at the core of this are local ones in mozambique in the clip before. that i listen to just now it's absolutely right this is about inequality disenfranchisement local level corruption all of those things are fed into this as well as radicalized islam. and it has to be sai

although they have nothing to do with al-shabaab in somalia the insurgency in was a big started very similar to the one that we see in northeastern nigeria was boko haram you have the poorest part of the country the government is hardly investing anything and a lot of people are not happy they tried to voice their complaints government is not listening some of them ready then the government reacts with force tries to crack down on those red radicalized and that way radicalize this even more people so that way things spiral out of control and to a situation that we have at the moment that is really terrifying when we were there last month we really hit the most brutal stories from displaced people their children kidnapped villagers decapitated in front of entire villages just to prove a point and these are not like you know rare random stories this has been happening there for months all the time it is really crazy area in that sense 6 how the 600000 people displaced it is not even clear what the group actually once but it looks much more than this is more about power and access to re
