Bloody Jihad in Mozambique Spreads To Tanzania, 300 Muslim Attackers Slaughter Dozens

9

It has been three years since the beginning of the Islamic insurgency in the northern province of Cabo Delgado in Mozambique. The conflict is said to have claimed more than 2,000 lives; more than 300,000 internal refugees have been recorded and a significant number of properties have been destroyed by jihadis. And it’s spreading — Tanzania just confirmed it’s first Islamic attack.

Upstream The Global Oil and Gas News Source: 

Islamist militants carried out a deadly attack on a village last week near the Tanzanian port of Mtwara, a major oil and gas logistics base in the south of the country, after crossing the border from gas-rich Cabo Delgado in neighbouring Mozambique. The news was confirmed by Tanzanian officials and signals a worrying escalation and expansion of an Islamist insurgency that began three years ago in Mozambique and threatens some $50 billion-worth of liquefied natural gas investments at Afungi in Cabo Delgado.

Twenty civilians and three Tanzanian security forces reportedly died after Kitaya was attacked by a reported 300 militants.

Local reports said gunmen launched the assault on Kitaya before retreating back across the Rovuma river that forms the border between Tanzania and Mozambique.

Inspector General of Police Simon Sirro told reporters that both Tanzanians and foreigners were arrested “in connection with the terrorist incident”.

He said Tanzania is working with regional neighbours to “flush out the terrorists”.

Mozambique: The War in Mozambique’s Cabo Delgado – Four Scenarios That Will Potentially Materialise

With the conflict in northern Mozambique showing no signs of stopping, the question is, where is Cabo Delgado province heading? Based on the multiple reasons behind the conflict, and considering the increasing international political and economic interests in Cabo Delgado and how conflicts have been managed in post-independence Mozambique, four scenarios are conceivable.

By:  Fredson Guilengue and Andreas Bohne,All Africa, October 22, 2020:

It has been three years since the beginning of the Islamic insurgency in the northern province of Cabo Delgado in Mozambique. So far, the conflict is said to have claimed more than 2,000 lives; more than 300,000 internal refugees have been recorded and a significant number of properties have been destroyed by Ansar al-Sunna (AaS), an allegedly Islamic State affiliate fighting Mozambique’s military forces to establish a local Islamic state.

AaS’s violent activities in the gas-rich province of Cabo Delgado started in October 2017, targeting local police stations and villages. By May 2018 the attacks had reached horrendous proportions. Before turning violent, AaS members had begun to preach a radical form of Islam and to build their own mosques. Later, the group started opposing Western-style institutions, such as the rule of law, sending children to regular schools, individual liberties, the power of state representatives, and mutual tolerance…

Tanzania confirms 1st attack by Mozambique-based extremists

AP, Oct. 23, 2020:

DODODOMA, Tanzania (AP) — For the first time, Tanzania’s government has acknowledged an attack inside the country by Islamic extremists based in neighboring Mozambique.

The attack claimed by an affiliate of the Islamic State group last week marks an ominous expansion of the shadowy group that has killed more than 1,500 people in northern Mozambique since it emerged in 2017.

Tanzania’s inspector general of police, Simon Sirro, told local media on Thursday that some 300 attackers were involved in the assault on Kitaya, a riverside border village in the Mtwara region. He said some were arrested. He did not say how many people were killed.

The growing extremist violence in northern Mozambique has displaced more than 300,000 people, creating an urgent humanitarian crisis, the U.N. World Food Program said last month.

The extremists have dramatically stepped up attacks this year, capturing the strategic port city of Mocimboa da Praia in August. Mozambique’s northern Cabo Delgado province has massive deposits of liquified natural gas, and the violence threatens to disrupt the billions of dollars of international investment.

The extremists risk giving Mozambique “the type of threat that Boko Haram has become in Nigeria,” U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Tibor Nagy told journalists earlier this year…….

Thank you for pointing out, Pamela, that it is jihad, a mandate of Islam. To sterilize the murders and destruction of property, as do many advocates of the lie, “Islam, the religion of peace”, by calling it “terrorism” is only a way of absolving Islam of responsibility and of blinding the world. Bravo!

Islam is a religion of peace. If you dispute that, its adherents will kill you.

Who now believes that European Christian colonialism of Africa was”bad”? Muslims and China have destroyed centuries of civilization in one generation, and are returning the dark continent to darkness.

And Islam marches on, driven by it’s theology to conquer the entire world, loot and kill and enslave non-muslims.

If we are going to be honest with ourselves, we need to understand our own complicity in the current lethal spread of Islam. It is contained in the Book of Isaiah, and concerns our mass murder of the children in the womb under the innocent terminology of abortion, birth control, fornication, rock ‘n roll, divorce and the summary destruction of the family.

Here’s what God has to say about it:

10:1. Woe to them that make wicked laws: and when they write, write injustice:

10:2. To oppress the poor in judgment, and do violence to the cause of the humble of my people: that widows might be their prey, and that they might rob the fatherless.

10:3. What will you do in the day of visitation, and of the calamity which cometh from afar? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?

10:4. That you be not bowed down under the bond, and fall with the slain? In all these things his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

10:5. Woe to the Assyrian, he is the rod and the staff of my anger, and my indignation is in their hands.

10:6. I will send him to a deceitful nation, and I will give him a charge against the people of my wrath, to take away the spoils, and to lay hold on the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

10:7. But he shall not take it so, and his heart shall not think so: but his heart shall be set to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few.

Get it? Nope, didn’t think you would.

Both Christ and John the Baptist came preaching “penance.” Us? Just watch the TV and count the number of so-called miracle drugs paraded before us, promising to cure every single illness, while a voice recites the contraindications up to and including death by their use. All while pretty images are paraded before our eyes to distract us. Men are lining up in grocery stores packing their carts with booze to silence the pain of a lost life, and opioid overdoses are murdering hundreds of thousands each year. Escaping pain is all we can think of, and where is the one person doing penance? Hair shirt? The whip? “Bah, you’re NUTS,” you say.

Yup, ignore the data. And see what’s waiting on the other side of life. Been there, heard and seen and felt that.
