Fueling Insurgency: Liquified Natural Gas, ISIS, and Green Berets in Mozambique

The Cabo Delgado conflict has rapidly progressed. What began as a localized insurgency involving foreign mercenary groups has now led to the emergence of an ISIS affiliate that has successfully disrupted critical global resource markets—at a time when much of the world is in dire need of additional natural gas supplies. As the US government moves to protect investments and counter ISIS, it needs to understand the root causes of this conflict to respond effectively. At its core, this conflict is a backlash against the exploitation of private resource contracts by a corrupt central government.

Critics of US military assistance to Mozambique, such as the analyst Steven Leach, argue that the Biden administration should withdraw the Green Berets to reduce the perception that Mozambique is merely the latest US battleground against an ISIS affiliate. Leach advises prioritizing diplomacy and targeted development to address the root causes of the conflict.

But the humanitarian disaster unleashed by the conflict cannot be addressed through diplomacy alone. The presence of US special operations forces in Mozambique allows the United States to establish military partnerships as part of a diplomatic campaign to influence the government as its partner of choice. Ultimately, great power competition in Africa hinges on the United States’ ability to be a reliable partner to African governments as conflicts over resources continue to break out across the continent. The United States will not be able to bring peace to Cabo Delgado on its own. But it can help its local partners repel a brutal insurgency.

No it can´t.
