Cabo Delgado Province, Administrative province in northeastern Mozambique
Cabo Delgado Province extends over 82,625 square kilometers with coastlines along the Indian Ocean and borders Tanzania to the north.
The province marked the beginning of the Mozambican War of Independence in 1964 when FRELIMO forces initiated their first attack against Portuguese administration.
The region forms the homeland of the Makonde people, while Makua and Mwani communities contribute to the ethnic composition with distinct languages and traditions.
The provincial capital Pemba functions as the main transportation hub, connecting the region through its international airport and maritime port facilities.
Natural gas discoveries in the Rovuma Basin during the 2010s positioned Cabo Delgado as the center of Mozambique's emerging energy sector.
