    Cabo Delgadoball is a provinceball of  Mozambiqueball.

    History

    Cabo Delgadoball was firstly colonized by Kingdom of Portugalball and later adopted by Portuguese East Africaball, PR Mozambiqueball and then  Mozambiqueball. On 25 September 1964, FRELIMO guerrillas arrived from Tanzaniaball and, with help from some individuals of the surrounding population, attacked a Portuguese administrative post in the province. This raid marked the beginning of the Mozambican War of Independence, part of the Portuguese Colonial War, the former of which was an armed struggle between the Portuguese colonial authorities in the Portuguese Overseas Province of Mozambique and the independence movement. This province was the focus of Operation Gordian Knot, where the Portuguese forces attempted to wipe out the guerrilla bases in the province. Beginning in October 2017, armed Islamist extremists linked to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) launched a jihadist insurgency in the Cabo Delgado region. The militants launched attacks and committed mass beheadings, and in August 2020 seized the port town of Mocimboa da Praia. The group sometimes refers to itself as al-Shabaab, although they do not have known links with the Somali al-Shabaab, a different jihadist group. In March 2021, the U.S. Department of State designated Ahlu Sunna Wal Jammah (ASWJ), a group operating in Cabo Delgado with the participation of foreign fighters from Tanzaniaball, as a franchise of ISIL and added it to its list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations. The International Crisis Group reported in March 2021 that while ISIL has contact with the jihadists in Mozambiqueball and has given some level of financial assistance, ISIL likely does not exert command and control authority over the group. Mozambique Defence Armed Forces have been battling the extremists. Many people have been displaced by the fighting. In September 2020, ISIL insurgents captured Vamizi Island in the Indian Ocean. Over fifty people were beheaded by terrorists in the province in April 2020 and a similar number in November 2020. In March 2021, the NGO Save the Children reported that Islamist militants were beheading children, some as young as 11. On March 24, 2021, the militants seized Palma, murdering dozens of people and displacing more than 35,000 of the town's 75,000 people. Many fled to the provincial capital, Pemba. In July 2021 Southern African Development Community deployed its military mission to the province Southern African Development Community Mission in Mozambique (SAMIM). on February 2022, there are still a few people being killed due to the lingering insurgency and several insurgent camps were found by the Mozambican authorities.

    An Islamist millitant called Ansar al-Sunna is active here, spreading radical Islam and fighting with Mozambiqueball's soldiers, It has occasionally captured territory from the government and has been accused of committing war crimes against civilians.
