Islamic State Mozambique Recruiting Youths By Promising Fake Jobs In Cabo Delgado Warns Defense Minister Urges Youth
2023-01-16
Kidnapping for recruitment without having to raise a finger? Evilly efficient.
[INTELLIGENCEBRIEFS] Mozambique’s Defense Minister, Cristóvão Chume has warned the country’s youth against being lured to Cabo Delgado Province with seeming well-paying jobs. He warned that a lot of the youth are being lured to CD with the promise of well-paying jobs in the LNG projects and other projects. However,
some people cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go...
instead of getting the promised jobs, they are forced to join the terror organization and kill people or be killed.

This was revealed by the minister during the ceremony to launch the military census in Malema, in the northern Mozambican province of Nampula. He said that current intelligence indicates that young people deceived with promises of jobs "are being taken to Cabo Delgado to be part of the terrorists" and when they arrive in the province they are "forced to kill and destroy the Mozambican patrimony.

Cabo Delgado province has been in crisis for the past five years with the jihadists insurgency gradually morphing into what is currently known as the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
Mozambique (ISM). ISM has been accused of recruiting members both locally from within the province as well as from other provinces and the neighbors like Tanzania and South Africa. Despite there being a regional force from SADC and Rwanda, the militancy has shown resilience and continues to peddle senseless violence and has gone ahead to displace tens of thousands of people and kill thousands.
