Cabo Delgado, once a major tourist destination in Mozambique, is striving to reclaim its status following a government campaign launched last year titled 'Visit Cabo Delgado,' aimed at changing the negative narrative caused by terrorism.

Armed criminals kidnapped businessman Mohammad Calu in Maputo, Mozambique, after firing shots to disperse the crowd. The incident occurred on Ho Chi Min Avenue, with Calu being forcibly taken by four kidnappers. His two private security guards were shot and hospitalized. This is the second time Calu has been kidnapped, the first being in 2011. The car used in the kidnapping was later found abandoned near a hotel. This is the second kidnapping in Maputo within a week, with the first attempt being thwarted by locals. Criminal Investigation Authorities arrived at the scene half an hour later but did not comment.

An armed group allegedly linked to the self-proclaimed Islamic State invaded the district headquarters of Quissanga in Cabo Delgado province on Saturday morning. Local sources reported that while the insurgents did not cause human casualties, they looted various goods from residents and local shops. The invasion caused significant panic among the population, but no local authorities have yet responded to the incident.

Displaced families in Pemba, the capital of Cabo Delgado, Mozambique, are facing hunger due to terrorism. A major aid organization reports insufficient funds, and authorities acknowledge the city's lack of preparedness to accommodate the large number of displaced individuals.
