In the nearly two-minute-long video, men wearing military uniforms are seen chasing down a naked woman, surrounding and verbally harassing her along a rural road. One of the men repeatedly beats her with a stick before another man shoots her at close range. She is then repeatedly shot by the men while lying on the road before one of the men shouts "Stop, stop, enough, it's done." The video ends as the men turn and walk away, with one of them announcing, "They've killed the al-Shabaab," the local name given to the growing insurgency in the far north of the country.

Mozambique's Minister of Interior Amade Miquidade denied the accusations of atrocities, though did not address the video specifically, on national television Tuesday, saying that insurgents frequently wear army uniforms. "When they want to produce their propaganda against the security and defense forces, against the Mozambican state, they remove those signs/characters that identify them and make videos to promote an image of atrocity practiced by those who defend the people," he said. Cabo Delgado is home to a $60 billion natural gas development that is heavily guarded by Mozambican military and private security. Loosely aligned with ISIS, the insurgents have undertaken increasingly sophisticated attacks in recent months, overrunning large parts of Mocimba de Praia, a strategic port north of the regional capital Pemba in August.
