Americans evacuated after suspected insurgents burn Mozambique hunting camp

At least three Americans were evacuated after suspected Islamic State-linked insurgents attacked and burned a hunting camp near Mozambique’s Niassa Special Reserve, with the Americans reportedly away hunting when the assault occurred. The camp, reportedly co-owned by soccer coach Carlos Queiroz, was abandoned by staff, and Mozambique’s military responded. No fatalities have been confirmed, although reports and a regional analyst suggested that civilians may have been killed or abducted and supplies looted; those claims could not be independently verified. The attack underscores the spread of insecurity beyond Cabo Delgado, where an insurgency has killed thousands and displaced hundreds of thousands since 2017. U.S. officials have warned Americans not to visit the reserve, where militants have previously targeted upscale hunting lodges and taken hostages.
