Tens of thousands of people are feared to have been displaced following last month's attack, which claimed dozens of lives.

Southern African Development Community (SADC) security and defence ministers are expected to meet in Mozambique on Wednesday ahead of the planned Extraordinary Double Troika Summit.

The gathering will discuss the instability and insurgency in Mozambique’s northern region of Cabo Delgado, where militants have been terrorising the region since 2017.
