Jihadists staged a brazen attack on Mocimboa da Praia port on Wednesday, the latest in a string of intensifying assaults in the province.

MAPUTO - Mozambique's President Filipe Nyusi vowed to restore stability to the country's troubled gas-rich northern region Friday, two days after extremist militants seized a key port.

Mocimboa da Praia is a major traffic hub for natural gas, 60 kilometres to the south of a liquefied natural gas facility - one of Africa's biggest single investment projects - on Afungi peninsula. During the visit broadcast live on state television, Nyusi said his government would press on with "sustainable exploitation of the natural gas reserves that open new paths for the development of our country".Nyusi applauded "progress" in the construction of a floating platform for LNG production, adding Mozambique "will become an important player in the oil and gas market from 2022".
