U.S. special operations forces were deployed to Mozambique on a mission to assist the country in its counter-terrorism operations against an offshoot of the ISIS terrorist group.
“The United States is committed to supporting Mozambique with a multifaceted and holistic approach to counter and prevent the spread of terrorism and violent extremism,” the U.S. Embassy in Maputo said in a statement on Monday. “This approach addresses socioeconomic development issues as well as the security situation.”
