The United States is working at the national and local level in Mozambique, as it executes a “holistic strategy” to address worsening terrorism and violent extremism in the country, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Linda Thomas-Greenfield told reporters on Tuesday before a United Nations Security Council meeting on peace and security in Africa.
The U.S. is working with the Mozambican government and international and civil society organizations to address the immediate impacts on civilians of terrorist attacks and conflict between the government and the Ansar al-Sunna extremist group.
