January 25, 2020, Mozambique. A troop of 35 armed men raid the village of Cagembe, in the northern province of Cabo Delgado. Tavares (pseudonym), a local trader, sees it happen.
"It was around eleven o'clock in the morning. Men armed with assault rifles and machetes invaded Cagembe. They sang songs and shot in the air. They wore military uniforms and carried a black flag with Arabic letters. They demanded that the village chief would show them the military barracks."
