A battle for control of Mozambique’s strategic northern town of Palma is continuing for a sixth day, with heavily armed rebels fighting government forces.

Reports of more than 50 beheadings by Islamic extremist rebels have raised international alarm over the new level of violence in Mozambique’s north.

He said those rescued were taken to Total’s fortified site on the southern African country’s Afungi Peninsula, where chartered flights flew many south to Pemba, the capital of Cabo Delgado province.The rebels are well-armed with AK-47 automatic rifles, RPD and PKM machine guns and heavy mortars, Dyck said.

“There have been lots of beheadings. Right up on day one, our guys saw the drivers of trucks bringing rations to Palma. Their bodies were by the trucks. Their heads were off.”Dyck said it will not be easy for the Mozambican government to regain control of Palma. “We continue to coordinate closely with the authorities on the ground to provide assistance to those affected by the violence,” Dujarric said.
