#Mozambique: As well as 2 claims on the 13th, y’day ISIS posted a large claim relating to fighting 3 weeks ago near Palma, just as Rwandan forces got to Moz. They’re very explicit in their mention of foreign forces arriving and what that means for them: https://t.co/hJzVYey4Jd https://t.co/gZrKkdnF0w
