Abstract
This article explores narratives about how the war started in October 2017, in the extreme north of the province of Cabo Delgado, in Mozambique, by an armed group locally recognized as mashababos, prevails not only physical violence against populations in the conflicted regions, but also the other forms [of violence], from symbolic to psychological, through repression and silencing of the manifest will of the victims to talk about their traumas. Supported by an ethnography carried out between 2018 and 2021 in Nacaca, in a center built to house displaced people, the central thesis of this article is that the forced displacements imposed against the victims of the conflict under analysis, intersect not only with their exercise of memory in wanting to tell their lived experiences about the war, but also to the traumas that are created by the forms of silencing imposed by different actors that permeate their new spaces of refuge.
