Five youth posing as jihadists set fire to 13 houses in a village in the jihadist-hit northern Mozambican province of Cabo Delgado.
The young men pretended to be jihadists so as to steal from locals, the authorities said.

He said it was not the first time young people in the area had posed as jihadists with an intention to steal within the communities.
