More than 180 people including foreign workers are trapped inside a hotel in a northern Mozambique town under siege for three days by fighters linked to the ISIL (ISIS) group, according to workers and security sources.
Several people were dead, AFP news agency reported citing witnesses and a rights group, after the attack in the town of Palma near a liquified natural gas (LNG) site in Cabo Delgado province. Reuters news agency on Saturday also reported the death of at least one civilian and the wounding of others when their convoy was attacked as they tried to flee.

@Angelica Dickson man us is the reason for this all .I don’t blame the people by the corrupted government
@Angelica Dickson exactly
Except tanzania 🇹🇿
🇿🇦
I feel like all of you are fools arguing about the west and oil, everybody knows what is happening here, this is the American plan to break down Southern Africa and we’ve been waiting for this. America it’s time she met her maker, a war with South Africa is the beginning of the end of civilization, trust me there will be no winner in this one
@NEO MPHAHLELE do you know United States of America has more oil than Africa lol 😆
Which causes more wars and deaths in the modern era, capitalism or religions? We should end them both.
@Mohammed Sabah Uddin no that was not what Christ taught. He taught love, tolorance, forgiveness and peace. Then please tell me what Mohammad taught you about jihad, and other religions please no insult just explanations
@Spider Dike prophet Muhammad taught the same as Christ.
@Spider Dike give proof that our prophet Muhammad peace be Upon him taught violence
@Spider Dike you have no proof
@Muhammad Daanish Shaikh Qur’an 5:51, Qur’an 2:65-66 I have more than 30 and I read, speak and write Arabic very well . Please I just gave you some prove educate pple on this verses without insult and violence please
Seems no covid thing in that place ???
That is what happens when a country’s diversity is mismanaged. It will take God’s grace to avoid that in Nigeria. Nigeria is one of the most unjust societies in the world. The ethnic groups in the oil and gas-rich Niger Delta are being marginalized by the Nigerian state with no sign of a bright prospect. What many of these African governments fail to realize is that they are better off giving these ethnic nations a greater say in the management of their resources. They have nothing to lose, it is the central governments that have a lot to lose.
It’s the same thing happening in Mozambique, they have been marginalized since discovery of gases and oil. They were forced off their land in favour of foreign companies to start drilling wells. The former residents and dwellers never benefited from the discovery but were harassed, threatened and humiliated and you think they’re going to sit back and allow what they believe is an injustice against them to continue? You think most of these western nations would expell natives from their land and then call in foreigners to extract the resources to their benefit and host government?
@Win Mugaru on top of that add in Al Qaeda and ISIS and they have the perfect circumstances to start their brainwashing.

Report Indonesia church attack too
@Joe French Correct Statement – [ Al Jazeera has no interest in anything non-muslim ]
What happened in Indonesia and where?
They did it for u racist
Check their channel
@Joe French An attack happened there in Church I think it killed 10 people not sure about the number. Indonesia is the highest muslim majority country in the world by percentage. Hindus and Christian there are persecuted at a very high level
Personally, I believe that international organizations should maintain standing “police forces” if you will. Think Peacekeepers with teeth.
How about if the rich and powerful stopped raping the resources of foreign lands.
@Mr. Beard That sounds even less likely than my idea.
@Mr. Beard How about the third world leaders stop being corrupt and take all the money for themselves?
@M.F. Luder That sounds even less likely
@M.F. Luder Or actually being competent?
France and European companies must leave,they are satanics. everywhere they go,they bring war and misery
Anywhere there is France there’s is poverty and trouble . France is a Demon 😈
Praying for Mozambique 🙏🏽😞
Who is defeated now???????😆😆😆😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
We will reach euroup🤲🤲🤲🤲
What
You’re making no sense
i pray for your people why oh why cant you all quit killing all your own people
Sorry for our brethren, may God save them
Our region was peaceful now these people from north are coming with their issues.
Those Al Qaeda shits got a great opportunity to brainwash the people, abusing religion onve again.
religion of peace is at it again
@Roger Wilcox II no one will get rid of islam thats for sure
Who do you think is paying them? This isn’t religious extremism, it’s mercenary force under the guise of it. Look at wherever these so-called al-shabab or other AQ linked groups appear, and you will find large natural resource projects. Competitors pay the mercs through third parties.
Peace according to Qur’an, yes it’s back again….. Not peace according to your dictionary terminology….
Islam means submittion, not peace…..after u submit u get peace…..
Submit to Allah in everything…. Your desires, your wife…. Yourself !!!
Sucrifice everything because of Allah, then and only then u will feel the real peace !!
@dd mm
They started the war and we will finish it….. The spark has lit in sham ! And the fire will reach Rome ….
Victory belongs to Allah, his messengers and the believers ☝️☝️🏴🏴🏴
@Ali Omar you confirm that , its a terror religion😂.😂
World needs to form intelligence sharing alliance across various nations to counter terrorism.
Oh Two mega celebrations today !! Seems like they r celebrating the holy month.
“Were gas discoveries have been made in recent years”
That explains everything
Your an idiot, this conflict has been going on for much longer than a few years. Your just to stupid to not look at its history.
@Far Right who supply the weapon?
Total had to get out.
And shut it’s plant
So…
It’s just the peacefulz.
@Rama why dont you read about the conflict instead of writting stupid comments.
Originally weapons came from defecting police and foreign freighters.
The goat people then won battles and got more weapons.
There was no war before the discovery of oil this tells you that terrorism is foreign sponsored agenda using stupid people from those countries
Oh when the Lord deals with mankind. I don’t know about everyone else but I’m sick of government. They do not show ANY care or concern for the people. It’s sickening. I’m praying to the Lord that he renders judgement soon because there are all lot of human beings down here destroying his earth and spreading terror all over the place that need to be dealt with. Judgement was decreed way before I. It will come because the Lord said so but I’m praying he comes soon. Tomorrow will not be too soon for me 😊 we need the Lord people of the world.
Rmember hotel rwanda?
Trouble caused by Islam in far flung land… Mindanao, Kashmir, Makassar
Ewe, who would even go to a machete weilding country like that!? Oh that’s right they’re after Mozambique’s wealth.
CIA will never change
(how are they involved?
Religion of peace at it again.
Ah Africa !
Pray all you like its straight forward anochy. We need help from SA and rest of the world. This cannot carry on. What is wrong with the human species. Pathetic to say the least. Too sad.
GOD BLESS AFRICA 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿
this does not represent islam
What does it represent then?
It represents islam 🤲🤲🤲🤲
I guessed the religion by reading just headlines because only one r eligion is causing Violence everywhere
@Khalil Omar do you know why Japan never got attack from Islamic terror ? because our government surveillance all muslim immigrant 24 hours
@Michael Kato「加藤」 Wow, I guess China too, this things never happen there.
@Michael Kato「加藤」 you don’t have to look that far in Poland we dont have that problem also.
Religion of filthy democracy is making more bloodshed
the melanin deficency religion?caused the death of 60 million amerinidians,100 millions africans ,just because of their skin colour…
Religion of peace😂😂🤣..again
@Roger Wilcox II and the religion of melanin
@Doona Slighire I could give 2 shits about skin color…it’s a person character that I judge
@Doona Slighire everyone is white people with less melanin. African albino, asian albino, european albino are all pale, blonde, and have blue eyes.
@Bengal PG3D abe sab log Indian nahi hote Europe me India se jyada kharaab halat hai bas media wale dikhate nahi kyuki waha se hi sabse jyada media famous hai
@Sagar Bharati i don’t speak your alienic language
These countries like France is ripping of africa and these folks are fed up, unfortunately violence affect the people that have nothing to do with it.
Absolutely, terrorists are funded by these western powers to terrorize innocent civilians and to destabilize Africa and Asia.
The government had signed a deal with the French gas company it was going to give the government massive tax revenue in one of the poorest countries in the world. Not like Islamists have the resources to extract the gas anyway.
🙄🙄🙄
I think there is also a large gem deposit which is why they have started all this dissension. They have displaced thousands of indigenous peoples. May the wrath of the creator inflict inscrutable suffering upon the instigators of this disaster while they are still living. And let their punishment be publicized. Ase!
Mozambique. Look at where your ANC has taken you, Down the road to ruin. 😁
ANC is a South African party, not Mozambiquan
Frelimo, moron…
Omg
One after another the religion of peace
So peaceful. 120 dead so far and ohh so much religion of peace to still go around.
From where do you belong???
@Sagar Bharati
The country which has been fucced for 1000 years by pisslsmic terrorism
Die jhihad zijn de vervuilers van het Moslim geloof. De goede Moslims moeten daar eindelijk eens hardop NEE tegen durven zeggen.
You’re from which country??
Al shabab = Isis = CIA= Mossad
Allahu akbarrr
😡😡
And the Bantu locals get what?
Where is the african union
The AU called on South Africa and the south Africans killed everything for their one dead fellow country men, it’s a mess
@NEO MPHAHLELE Domkop🤦🏽♂️
Funny how when Oil and Gases are discovered and suddenly you getting American military advisors and personell into the country to apparently help with fighting terrorists. Mozambique leadership so gullible , doing the same mistakes Nigeria did by suppressing local natives whilst offering kickbacks to foreign contractors moving into the area to take the resources
I pray we learn, and soon. It seems we are the only countries that keep falling for the same trick. I can almost understand how and why Westerners think very low of us . . .
Learn proper Globalisation. Normal countries benefit from it.
There is only one religion in the world at the moment that is causing all this violence.
Would be great to see a story where resources were found in an African country and the government actually protected it’s people and required foreigners to pay all necessary taxes and duties to extract those resources. Oh that’s right, His Excellency Dr. Magufuli was already doing this. We saw where that got him . . . Our prayers to those displaced in Mozambique due to this endless wahala
Explain? Who is this Dr you speak of what happened?
@Everyone1lies D he’s speaking of the recent late African president of Tanzania Dr. John Magufuli.
France is doing business there and see how I’ll develop the community looks …..
If the community has not developed than maybe they to look at why. Here in the UK many of our firms are now owned by Chinese, Germans, French and Americans and Indians. Profit being taken out of our economy is not good for our county but we don’t go around commiting mass murder.
Wonder who is behind this?
Gay America ofcourse
western spy agencies,russians,indians,chinese…
Funded by petrodollars from gulf countries.
Resistance to communist governments around the world is weak for Christians. Or Islam may need help. Or the world could fall into the hands of Satan the Devil, communist. Dajjal
…,.
I don’t blame militia groups…France still has colonial mindset and militias can’t trust them… After all It’s France who carried out killing for past 2 centuries..
France is better,at least they give freedom of religion and they wont kill christians ,unlike these groups.
@Detective Conan hhh racist country…it deserves everything it gets…
Religious Nut Jobs!
One thing is certain, France is part of the problem
How?
@Far Right 300 years of hate,looting,mass muder and racism.
Please live awa cantre e lon
I wouldn’t be surprised if it came out that America has a hand in arming these terrorists.
Islam is peaceful religion 🥱🤔🤫
Yes
No islam is religion of obeyong Allah and humiliating christians
World has sufficient resources to meet man’s need but not the greed.Conquering the whole world will never find Bliss–Human Destiny!
You Nailed it bro 🙏🏼😪
Haiya , Al Shabab wamefika Mozambique
Alshabab wako tu kila mahali ni vile huwa hawajapangiwa pakwenda,noma sana
Whycant those whites just learn to stay away from africa
What whites has to do with this?
Might Be France or British (Democracy) Back Be Militia Is Behind This, But First Should Be Investigated Impartially.
islam religion of pazzi furiosi di merda
Anyone noticing a trend here yet?
report clearly says, people are fed up due to lack of prosperity but foreign companies are profiting. The report also says the forces have tortured the surrounding civilians. But some lunatics blames a religion; either these people lack the comprehension abilities to understand the ground realities or deluded in their own self propelled internalized hate against Islam. Pathetic.
There you can find Islam you can find problem
And oil
I wonder how it works, Allah leads them to oil?
😂😂
Always to sides to a story – The suits are destroying life on earth
so sad
ALLAHUAKBAR
Peaceful attacks from a peaceful religion!
I will be glad to see this happening in Europe and America so that they can learn the truth about Islam
It’s fight of black gold nothing else.
LA İLAHE İLALLAH 🏴☝️
Allahu akbar 🏴🏴☝🏽☝🏿☝🏻
Devils at it again, first it was thr displacement of people by the man made quakes, now its the planned conflicts to confuse the world and steal minerals, when will this ever end, dear God just destroy the whole world and everything in it coz man cannot live side by side with one another in peace.
Ham and his child Canaan was cursed, this is the result, and we all know the territory of Ham, identify your problem and do something about it. ✔️✔️
God is dumb then for cursing children for sins their parents have done. Lol. North Korea does that for 3 generations.
Ham was not cursed stop telling lies. Also, stop believing you’re some sought of isrealite.
This is clearly not a religious matter. It’s about economic power
Allahu akbar ☝🏻☝🏿☝🏾🏴🏴
الله أكبر و لله الحمد 🏴🏴
This is very peaceful
Yup, that’s your religion of PEACE for ya lol
Portugal needs to send assistance.
Portugal needs assistance
South Africa needs to bomb everyone in that province
Just like America
Westerners stealing the oil. Villagers fighting back
Who cares about 120 stupid westerners trapped inside a hotel.
leave africa to the africans.
Mohamedians
Anywhere there is islam….Nigeria, Somalia, Mozambique, Mali, Niger, Libya, Chad, Central African republic, entire Middle East…..its like a patern that you can’t ignore even if you are trying hard to be politically correct. Yes, Christians used to do the same things with their conquest and inquisitions.
UN let’s sit and watch how this unfolds.
People need help send some Peace Keepers!
Not investment stealing Africa oil.
American arm’s using or Russia to maline muslim.
Weapon of mass destruction.america
Why face is covered.
🇿🇦🇦🇴🇱🇸🇳🇦🇲🇿🇿🇼
America has come to the wrong place
It’s Rwanda Hutu vs Tutsi genocide all over again
No ISS or Al-Shaabab in Mozambique. Those are western terrorists in Mozambique undermining African development. What is western media doing there anyways?
Imagin how peaceful this world could have been if muhammed wasn’t born
😂
Islam is very peaceful
*Mozambique here*
government need to do very deep investigation
NOW YOU SEE HOW ITS DONE. FIRST COMES THE DISCOVERY OF THE OIL; THEN SUDDEN WAR; THEN COMES THE REMOVAL OF NATIVES FROM THE LAND AS THEY BECOME REFUGEES, WHILE THE MINING CONTINUES! HOW LONG SHALL YOU NATIVES SLEEP? THIS HAS BEEN DONE ALL OVER AFRICA!
I didn’t know this country is so rich
There’s gonna be another hotel movie in the future.
I’m comming from the Netherlands
