Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “Is ISIL gaining a foothold in southern Africa? | Inside Story” – below is their description.
Mozambique has a seen a rise in attacks across its northern region in recent months.
Dozens of people were killed when ISIL-linked fighters raided a hotel in the northern town of Palma last month.
And now, it’s emerged that 12 of the victims – possibly foreigners – were beheaded during that siege.
The attack prompted southern African leaders to hold emergency talks and come up with a response to the growing crisis.
But is a regional intervention the answer?
And could it fend off the threat from ISIL?
