Mozambique’s ministry of defense has confirmed the attack of jihadists in Palma town.
It should be recalled that just last week Wednesday, a group of terrorists sneaked into Palma and killed so many unharmed civilians.
The government of Mozambique quickly swung into action as security forces have been tasked with prioritizing the rescue of hundreds of citizens, Nationals and foreigners.
Mr Saranga who is the defense minister was quoted saying, “an unknown number of militants began attacking the town, a gas hub in the province of Cabo Delgado, on Wednesday, forcing nearly 200 people to take refuge at the Amarula hotel with others taking cover in the nearby tropical forest.
They were temporarily taken to the heavily guarded gas plant located on the Afungi peninsula on the Indian Ocean coast south of the Tanzanian border before being moved to Pemba.
The town of around 75,000 people, is home to a multi-billion-dollar gas project being built by France’s Total and other energy companies.
