Fighters linked to Islamic State took control of a northern Mozambican port town that’s been a key logistics link for a $23-billion natural-gas project that Total is building, according to Risk Advisory Group. It’s the third time this year the insurgents have seized Mocimboa da Praia, located about 60 kilometers south of the LNG project and the closest harbor. About three months ago, fighters that first pledged allegiance to IS in 2018 occupied it for as long as three days.
