DESCRIPTION::
Insurgents attacked the community of Litamanda in the district of Macomia, resulting in the suspected killing of a 19-year-old girl. The conflict in Cabo Delgado, ongoing for six years, has led to significant displacement and casualties, with the insurgency linked to the extremist group Islamic State. Despite some relative stability, recent attacks and movements indicate ongoing volatility in the region, exacerbated by military responses and displacement.
