A humanitarian worker for the French NGO Solidarités International has been killed in an ambush by an armed group in northern Mozambique, which has been plagued by jihadist violence for more than five years.
The victim aged about 30 years was a Mozambican national.
The aid worker was on his way back to Palma from the provincial capital Pemba after a weekend break when his car was targeted.
The impoverished, Muslim-majority northern province bordering Tanzania has been plagued by jihadist violence that has killed more than 4,400 people, including nearly 2,000 civilians, since October 2017.
