The Rise of Extremism in Mozambique

In Cabo Delgado, Mozambique's northern province, violence has escalated to the point of needing foreign assistance. This month, at least 1,000 Rwandan soldiers deployed to Mozambique to protect civilians from Ansar-al-Sunna, an armed extremist group with alleged links to ISIS. Chance Briggs of Save the Children said, "This violence has to stop, and displaced families need to be supported as they find their bearings and recover from the trauma.” What can we tell friends about this crisis and how can we help?
