The Mozambique Conflict Monitor — formerly known as Cabo Ligado — tracks political violence and disorder in Mozambique, with a particular focus on the north of the country.
This joint initiative between ACLED and Zitamar News is designed to inform decision-making by policymakers, humanitarians, and the private sector, producing near real-time data and regular actionable analysis on key conflict developments.
MCM publishes a monthly conflict update and in-depth analytical outputs on conflict trends in the country. All data are updated weekly and can be explored using our interactive map, and accessed directly through the ACLED export tool and API.
