This paper critiqued the scramble for Mozambique’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) and oil by foreign powers including France, the United States of America (US), Italy, Japan, South Africa, etc. in Cabo Delgado Province. The overall aim of the paper was to lay thread bare the fierce scramble for Mozambique’s natural gas and oil by foreign powers for their own benefit. The sole objective of the paper was to unmask the involvement of foreign powers in the exploitation of Mozambique’s natural gas and oil in Cabo Delgado Province. The paper deployed secondary research as its methodology and appealed to resource curse theory as its theoretical underpinning. The findings of the study revealed that foreign powers involved in the exploitation of Mozambique’s natural gas and oil industry are reaping huge profits while the inhabitants of Cabo Delgado Province languish in perpetual and sustained poverty among other ills.
