Catholic expert calls landmine resurgence in Mozambique ‘disturbing’

YAOUNDÉ, Cameroon – A Catholic expert on Africa has called the first death caused by a landmine in the northern Mozambique province of Cabo Delgado a “disturbing” development, saying it could undercut efforts to end a conflict he sees as largely fueled by lust for oil wealth.

According to the news channel, ‘A Voz de Cabo Delgado’ or ‘The Voice of Cabo Delgado,” a ten-year old child lost his life Tuesday after he stepped on a landmine in the village of Mbau, Mocímboa da Praia district, Cabo Delgado province.
