Insurgent groups attacked a safari camp in Coutada de Marangira, in Niassa province, northern Mozambique. The attack happened on Thursday and resulted in millions of euros in damages. The insurgents looted, burned, and vandalized the tourist camp, also taking vehicles from the site.
The camp belongs to the company Mozambique Wild Adventures (MWA), which is associated with former Luso-Mozambican coach Carlos Queiroz. The company operates in the Niassa region, known for its hunting areas and safari tourism.
The province of Niassa has been the scene of insurgent attacks in recent years, in a conflict that has been intensifying in the northern region of the country. The attack on the camp represents another episode of violence that has affected the tourism industry in the region.
The information was reported by local media outlets, citing sources on the incident. The exact value of the damages has not yet been fully calculated, but initial assessments point to losses in the millions.
