Mozambique’s government faces mounting challenges as Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant-affiliated groups escalate attacks in Cabo Delgado province. Despite efforts, security responses struggle to contain violence, leading to widespread displacement. The recent assault on Macomia highlights concerns over stability amid the withdrawal of regional security forces. In this evolving landscape, digital surveillance and coordination emerge as critical tools for enhancing situational awareness and response capabilities.
Effective utilization of digital technologies can bolster the government’s ability to address security threats and safeguard vital infrastructure, including energy projects like TotalEnergies’ liquefied natural gas terminal.
