Calling for stability and the cessation of violence and condemning ISIS-affiliated terrorist activity in northern Mozambique, including the Cabo Delgado Province, and for other purposes.

House Resolution 720 is a formal statement by the U.S. House of Representatives expressing grave concern over the humanitarian crisis and terrorist activity in northern Mozambique. The resolution officially condemns the violent attacks committed by ISIS-affiliated groups and calls upon the Mozambican government to protect its citizens while ensuring that its security forces respect human rights.

For the public, this resolution signals a U.S. foreign policy commitment to regional stability and the delivery of humanitarian aid to the hundreds of thousands of people displaced by the conflict. While it does not authorize military action or new funding, it encourages the U.S. government to coordinate with international partners to address the root causes of the instability, such as poverty and lack of economic opportunity, in order to prevent the further spread of extremism.
