S 1 - 2 D I ID RK RT C - 0

Tanzania maintains troops in northern Mozambique to support counter-insurgency operations against Islamic State Mozambique (ISM) militants. Tanzanian forces assist Rwandan and Mozambican troops in securing border areas, particularly in Macomia, Mocímboa da Praia, and Muidumbe districts, and in controlling militant movements from Tanzania. Despite seasonal declines in violence, ISM continues attacks, including ambushes and IED strikes, highlighting Tanzania’s ongoing role in regional security and efforts to curb cross-border insurgent activity.
