ISIS has warned South Africa that it would "open the fighting front" within South Africa's borders, should it get involved in Mozambique's Cabo Delgado province. This is according to reports on ISIS's latest newsletter, Al-Naba. An organisation linked to ISIS, Ahlu Sunnah Wal Jamaah, has been waging a violent insurgency in Mozambique's northernmost province, Cabo Delgado. It started in 2017, but the violence has escalated in recent months. They want to establish an extremist form of Islamic law in the province, even though their motives have been questioned by some as more compelled by greed. In its newsletter, which is published in Arabic, ISIS reportedly wrote that European and American states are trying to convince South Africa to lead the war in Mozambique. South Africa, though, has enough of its own problems and war will put it in a great financial and military predicament. It states further that South Africa's military involvement might prompt ISIS soldiers to start fighting within its borders. Later in June, in a written response to a parliamentary question, SA defence minister, Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula gave the first public expression of concern from the government that the violence in Mozambique could spread. "Defence Intelligence can confirm that there is an increase of Islamic insurgency activities currently in the province of Cabo Delgado, Mozambique, and these have the potential to spread to other provinces and neighbouring Southern African Development Community states," read Mapisa-Nqakula's answer. South Africa is usually not a target for terrorism.
