Violent extremism in Mozambique: drivers and links to transnational organised crime

A report by the Institute for Security Studies and the Judicial Training Institute of Mozambique examines the drivers of insurgency in Cabo Delgado, highlighting the role of natural resource governance and regional disparities.

• Research indicates that residents of Cabo Delgado perceive the discovery of natural resources and the subsequent poor governance of those resources as a primary driver of the insurgency.
• The study identified that regional differences are a more significant factor in the conflict than ethnic differences, and found limited connections between the insurgency and organised crime.
