About 52 villagers in Mozambique’s troubled northernmost province were killed by Islamist insurgents on April 7 after they refused to be recruited to their ranks, police said on Tuesday.

“The young men were about to be recruited but they resisted, which provoked the ire of the bandits that killed the 52 indiscriminately,” police spokesman Orlando Modumane said.

Better die free then be a slave, the bravery of these villagers is a testament to that. May the killers suffer in Jahanam for all of eternity for this.

These villagers, for refusing to be conscripted into Satan's work and dying in the process, are Shahid.

ISIL had been making a play in northern Mozambique over the last two years and Ramadan starts tomorrow evening. This might not just be a one-off type event.

Northern Mozambique historically marked the furthest spread southwards of Islam in the Middle Ages.

I didn't know that Islamic fundamentalists went that far south in Africa.

It’s been a problem for the last four years or so, given the lack of proper investment into the region by the government.

That answers my question. I didn’t know Mozambique had a Muslim population of notable size.

Me neither. You learn something new every day.
