This book uses a multidisciplinary approach to examine the ongoing
conflict in Mozambique’s Cabo Delgado province, which has killed
thousands and displaced a million people since 2017. The book
investigates how the conflict developed, the regional and
international responses and its wider implications. From a broad range
of African perspectives, the book addresses issues related to the
conflict including international humanitarian law, regional security
and terrorism. Part I assesses the regional security concerns of the
conflict, the success of cross-border counter-terrorism operations and
their implications for the southern African region. Part II focuses on
the conflict in relation to international humanitarian law. It
discusses the Islamic State's presence in the region, the trajectory
and issues pertaining to sexual and gender-based violence and the
relationship between the conflict and the environment. Finally, Part
III examines regional and continental responses to the conflict, from
the military intervention by the Southern African Development
Community and Rwanda, to the perceived inaction of the African Union.
The first comprehensive analysis of the conflict in Cabo Delgado, this
book will be of interest to scholars and practitioners of
international humanitarian law, security, African politics, war and
conflict studies, terrorism and human rights.
