Brazilian Nuns and who ever even heard about this in the first place and Mozambique is quite a bit off the usual route of where we might normally think of ISIS as operating. Terrible… but Praise God, somehow these two have been released!

Two nuns seized by Islamic rebels Mozambique released​

ROME (AP) — Two Roman Catholic nuns held for more than three weeks by rebels affiliated with the Islamic State group in Mozambique have been released, the nuns’religious order announced Thursday.

The Sisters of St. Joseph of Chambery said Brazilian nuns Maria Inez Leite Ramos and Eliane Costa Santana were freed on Sept. 6. The order said in a statement that the two sisters were resting and receiving medical checks outside the Cabo Delgado region of Mozambique where they were seized.

Mozambique’s extremist insurgency began in October 2017 in northern Cabo Delgado province, which borders Tanzania in the north and the Indian Ocean to the east. The rebels dramatically stepped up their attacks in 2020. In August, they captured the strategic port city of Mocimboa da Praia and have held it for nearly a month.

Yes, apparently, Portuguese is spoken in Mozambique, hence, the Nuns were Brazilian.
