  • The European Parliament has called on Mozambique to allow independent investigations into allegations of torture and serious rights abuses in a gas-rich northern region ravaged by extremist violence. The call came after shocking video footage emerged this week showing men in army uniform beating a naked woman they accused of being an insurgent and then pumping bullets into her. Mozambique Defence Minister Jaime Neto has dismissed the video as "fabricated". In a statement released Thursday, the parliament called on the southern African country "to launch an independent and impartial investigation into torture and other grave violations allegedly committed by its security forces in Cabo Delgado." It urged the goverment to allow independent human rights investigators and monitors into the province. Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have also called for a probe into the incident. The Mozambican army has been struggling to evict the Al-Shabaab Islamist group and regain control of Cabo Delgado, home to one of Africa's biggest liquefied natural gas projects. The group has in recent months escalated its violent campaign as part of a drive to establish an Islamist caliphate. At least 1,500 people have been killed in the violence while more than 250,000 people displaced since 2017. The militants have occupied a strategic port in the town of Mocimboa da Praia since August 12. str-mgu/sn/ach
