Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>SAMIM (Southern African Development Community Mission in Mozambique) will, during the course of the year, receive as yet unspecified Chinese military aid.<\/p>\n

The African Union (AU) said in a communique issued post a meeting by its Peace and Security Council (PSC) that the regional bloc mission, widely reported as being under-equipped and manned, would \u201cprovide substantial additional equipment from the second batch of military aid\u201d being donated by the Peoples\u2019 Republic of China (PRC) to the AU to support the efforts of SAMIM.<\/p>\n

The \u201caid\u201d is not specified in the communique, which states it is made to the continental body. No delivery date is given with the communique only stating it is \u201cexpected to be delivered to Nakala (Nacala) port in Mozambique during 2022\u201d. The north coast city port is the deepest natural harbour on Africa\u2019s east coast.<\/p>\n

SAMIM can expect other assistance, also in the form of equipment, from the continental body. Again, the PSC communique gives no detail, apart from stating \u201crequired equipment already identified at the Continental Logistics Base (CLB) in Douala, Cameroon\u201d will support SAMIM and ensure effective implementation of SAMIM\u2019s mandate and tasks.<\/p>\n

The PSC further appeals to all AU member states \u201cas well as the United Nations (UN), European Union (EU) and the broader international community to extend support to SAMIM and Mozambique through provision of requisite materials, technical and financial resources\u201d.<\/p>\n

SAMIM presently comprises troops from eight SADC countries \u2013 Angola, Botswana, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Lesotho, Malawi, South Africa, Tanzania and Zambia. A thousand-strong contingent from Rwanda is also in the east African country supporting the For\u00e7as Armadas de Defesa de Mo\u00e7ambique (FADM) in an ongoing effort to remove ASWJ (Al Sunnah Wa Jama\u2019ah) from Cabo Delgado.<\/p>\n

SAMIM has been in the east African country for over six months and will remain there for an as yet unspecified period of time. This is as per a decision of the SADC Heads of State and Government Summit last month.<\/p>\n
