Mozambique struggles with armed groups as 300,000 displaced

Mozambique has turned to the European Union for help to stop attacks by ISIL-linked groups in its northern region.
The president wants the EU to train its forces to battle armed groups which emerged three years ago in Cabo Delgado.
Since then, the fighters have stepped up the violence, seizing important towns and targeting the military.
The conflict has raised fears for stability and security in the surrounding region.
The World Food Programme says more than 300,000 people have fled the violence.
Zeinado Machado, a researcher in the Africa division at the Human Rights Watch, talks to Al Jazeera.
