Mozambique could not solve the problem alone and asked for help. This gives stability, but the cleavages between the north and south of the country are still there, even due to the physical distance itself between Maputo and these northern provinces,\u201d the analyst concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Cabo Delgado province is rich in natural gas, but has been terrorized since 2017 by armed rebels, with some attacks claimed by the Islamic State extremist group.<\/p>\n<p>The conflict has already caused more than 3,100 deaths, according to the ACLED conflict registration project, and more than 817,000 displaced people, according to the Mozambican authorities.<\/p>\n<p>Since July, an offensive by government troops with the support of Rwanda, later joined by SADC, has made it possible to increase security, recovering several areas where there was a presence of rebels.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mozambique\">Mozambique<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
