Hunted by forces from southern African countries, plus Rwanda, Islamic extremists in Mozambique are splintering into tighter groups, and finding a haven in al-Qaeda training camps in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, according to security analysts and intelligence operatives.

The terrorists, who inhabitants of northern Mozambique call al-Shabab or al-Sunna wa Jama, claim direct affiliation to ISIS.
