Children targeted in Mozambique insurgency – Eye on Africa

Children as young as 11 have been victims to jihadist violence - including beheadings - in northeast Mozambique during an insurgency in the region, Save the Children says. According to outside monitors, the violence has displaced 670,000 people and claimed the lives of at least 2,600. And tens of thousands of Nigerians who fled to Cameroon to escape Boko Haram extremists are now hoping they can return home through a voluntary repatriation scheme. In Sudan life goes on as normal outside the hospitals, despite infection rates that are believed to be higher than the 28,500 cases registered.
