Hong Kong’s 15 remaining pro-democracy legislators have decided to resign en masse, militants in Mozambique who claimed to have ties to ISIS beheaded more than 50 people, and at least two people were wounded in an attack on a cemetery in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, during a World War I memorial ceremony.
Scores of protesters rallied on Wednesday to block ICE officials from detaining two men in Bend, Oregon. And, India registered its highest increase in COVID-19 cases yet, with nearly 67,000 new cases in the last 24 hours. Also, militants tied to ISIS have taken a key port in Mozambique after several days of clashes.

Critical State spoke with Nikkie Wiegink, an assistant professor at Utrecht University, about these dynamics in Mozambique.
