Attacks by armed groups in mineral-rich northern Mozambique have killed at least 39 people and displaced more than 1,000 others since May, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said Tuesday.
Cabo Delgado Province, where huge gas reserves were discovered, has witnessed deadly attacks since last October with the assailants targeting police stations, villages and religious institutions.
