Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Mozambique has made efforts to improve security in the eastern districts of Cabo Delgado, in order to allow the major LNG projects to get back on track.
\nTotalEnergies announced force majeure on its Mozambique LNG project in April following a major attack on a nearby town. ExxonMobil has continued talking about its proposed Rovuma LNG project, but has pushed back the final investment decision (FID).
\nIn the near term, the most notable development will be the arrival of the Coral Sul floating LNG (FLNG) project in Mozambique. The vessel is currently north of Reunion and Mauritius, on its way to Area 4 off Mozambique. It is due to arrive on January 5.
\nProgress
\nIndia is providing two fast interceptor vessels to Mozambique. An Indian naval vessel visited Maputo on December 25, providing 500 tonnes of food aid and defence equipment for the local armed forces.
\nMozambique stepped up naval patrols around Cabo Delgado, a spokesman was quoted by local reports as saying earlier this month. Captain Carlos Cossa noted a deterrent impact on travel by terrorists and in improving security for Area 4.
\nThe eastern Palma district is returning to normality, the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) said. Rwandan troops are enforcing security, it noted, and \u201cPalma appears to be once again open for business.\u201d
\nMozambique has the aim of creating a secure enclave for natural gas projects, ACLED said. The NGO noted the progress was \u201cat the mercy\u201d of the Rwandan support. \u201cWith so much unknown about the arrangements between the two countries, it remains to be seen how long this period of relative prosperity will last in Palma.\u201d
\nExtension despite losses
\nSouthern African Development Community (SADC) troops arrived in Mozambique in July, at the same time as Rwandan forces.
\nSouth Africa\u2019s armed forces reported on December 20 that a soldier had been killed in an ambush east of Chai village. The insurgents attacked forcing South African troops, shooting one dead. They also killed a number of Mozambique soldiers in the attack.
\nThe South African National Defence Force recovered the body and repatriated it on December 23.
\nEight countries have contributed troops to the SADC force: Angola, Botswana, Congo Kinshasa, Lesotho, Malawi, South Africa, Tanzania and Zambia.
\nThe SADC mission to Mozambique had been due to end in mid-January. SADC is extending the mission, South Africa Minister of International Relations and Cooperation Naledi Pandor has said.
\nSADC will continue supporting Mozambique \u201cin achieving peace and security in some parts of the central and northern Cabo Delgado province\u201d, Pandor said.
\nOn the move
\nAs the combination of local and foreign forces focus on Cabo Delgado, there are signs that the militancy is moving.
\nInsurgents have carried out attacks in Niassa Province, to the east of Cabo Deglado, triggering a displacement of local people. Furthermore, ACLED\u2019s Cabo Ligado reported a night attack in Tanzania\u2019s Mtwara region, just over the Ruvuma River. The attackers killed four civilians, ACLED said, but Tanzanian military forces drove them away.
\nMozambique\u2019s forces have not entirely won in Cabo Delgado either. The insurgency released pictures this week appearing to show materiel they had seized from South African Special Forces in Macomia.<\/p>\n
