Mucojo is a town in Macomia District in Cabo Delgado Province, Mozambique.[2] It has been the site of the heaviest and worst fighting of the Insurgency in Cabo Delgado.
See main article: Battle of Mucojo.
The Mucojo residents have for long been supporters of the FRELIMO and still are.[3]
The town has been the site of the heaviest and bloodiest fighting during the Battle of Mucojo.[4] The Mozambican Army as well as the Rwandan Army have been fighting militants in Mucojo since 2020.[5] The town has switched hands between anti-Islamic militants, Islamic State affiliates, and the Mozambican army, and at times even the locals.[6] The town was finally liberated on 29 October by Mozambican and Rwandan forces.[7]
On 6 September, the Mwani population of Mucojo rebelled and killed the head of the town, a member of the Makonde.[8]
During the 2022 Mozambican floods, Mucojo was badly affected and relief groups came to its aid.[9]
There is a domestic airfield on the outskirts of the town.[10]
