Abstract

This paper seeks to understand the impact of terrorism on taxation in Cabo Delgado Province, Mozambique; its effects on state-building and consolidation; the reasons that led the terrorist group to collect taxes illegally; and finally, the role of the solidarity of the (Muslim) elite in the face of the advance of violent terrorism. We argue that in terms of taxation, violent terrorism affected the government's ability to collect taxes and fees and provide services to the population locally, especially in places constantly devastated by terrorist attacks or under terrorist control.
