actor1: Military Forces of Mozambique (1990-)
actor2: Civilians (Mozambique)
location: Litamanda
notes: On 12 June 2021, presumably members of the Mozambican Defense and Security Forces killed eight women in Litamanda (Macomia, Cabo Delgado). A local mentioned that soldiers looked for members of an Islamist militia in the outskirts of the city on the same day that the bodies of the women were found. Reports differ about the civilians being shot or beheaded (following a killing pattern of the Islamist militia).
