EARTH · VERIFIED CONFLICT RECORD
Conflict in Mozambique
This is a verified record, not a live feed. UCDP hand-codes every event from published sources, which takes weeks — the newest event here is from 2026-05-31. For what is happening right now, LEV’s Global Incidents layer carries the machine-coded newswire at about fifteen minutes’ delay.
Between 3 Jan 2024 and 27 May 2026, researchers at Uppsala University hand-coded 404 events of organised violence in Mozambique from published sources. Their best estimate is 1,253 people killed — and their own range runs 923–1,691, which is the honest width of what anyone actually knows.
What the record holds
UCDP range 923–1,691. On 2of these events UCDP’s own bounds do not bracket its own best estimate; the range above spans everything it published rather than hiding the conflict in the figures.
363 placed precisely enough to map; 41 counted but not pinned, because UCDP could place them no closer than a province.

Mozambique: Islamic State · state-based violence — a government is one of the sides — a civil war or a war between states.
