Mozambique's president, Filipe Nyusi, on Wednesday said Islamic State-linked insurgents had been forced out of Palma, a key northern town that the rebels hit in a brazen raid last month. In his first substantive public comment on the attack launched on March 24, Nyusi said "the terrorists have been chased from Palma," but added: "We do not declare victory because we are fighting terrorism". str-sn/ri
