AB  - When it comes to extractive processes, conflict, and peacebuilding, the case of Mozambique
has recently taken center stage due to the emergence of an Islamic insurgency movement in the
liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in its northern province of Cabo Delgado. This is but one
part of a complex process of highly conflictual extractivist projects unfolding in the country.
In this article, we argue that, beyond the specific case of LNG, there is a logic of continuity
and accumulation regarding extraction-related grievances that, over the years, has generated
community resentment in natural resource rich areas. Multiple accumulating forms of
dispossession have accentuated community grievances in Tete’s coal mining areas and Cabo
Delgado’s extractivist projects (LNG or otherwise), driving conflict associated with extractive
industry projects. This paper is based on multiple rounds of field research conducted with
residents and displaced people from extraction areas in the provinces of Tete and Cabo
Delgado between 2012 and 2022. The analysis contributes to current debates on extractive
politics, conflict, and peacebuilding.
