Respondents were asked:
"How many of the following people do you think are involved in supporting
and assisting the extremist groups that have launched attacks and kidnappings in Cabo Delgado, or haven’t you heard enough about them to say? (% who say “most of them” or “all of them”)".
The source adds:
"Insecurity prevented Afrobarometer survey teams from collecting data in rural Cabo Delgado, so our findings probably under-report fear and experience of violent extremism in Mozambique".
