Mozambique has launched a two-day forum on the future of displaced people as conflict in Cabo Delgado, now in its ninth year, intensifies and pushes more than 1.3 million residents from their homes.

President Daniel Chapo is considering negotiations, but faces difficulties identifying leadership within the fragmented insurgent movement.
