Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Ambassador of the European Union in Mozambique, Ant\u00f3nio-Sanchez Gaspar, has presented his farewell greetings to the President of the Republic Filipe Nyusi.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the press after the meeting, the ambassador said that the European Union had approved a package of \u20ac89 million to finance actions to combat terrorism in Cabo Delgado province.<\/p>\n

The amount will be used to purchase equipment and military training for the 11 units of the Defence and Security Forces, some already in training.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe European Union has already approved \u20ac89 million in non-lethal equipment for the 11 commando and marines units that are being trained,\u201d the diplomat explained. The new aid will be spent on training and \u201cindividual equipment, uniforms , vests, helmets, communication systems, drones and vehicles\u201d, with part of the equipment arriving within two weeks.<\/p>\n

Ant\u00f3nio Sanchez-Benedito Gaspar said that there would also be European Union support for the Rwandan and Southern African Development Community (SADC) forces fighting in Cabo Delgado.<\/p>\n

Regarding the Mozambican electoral process, which also requires support, the outgoing diplomat pointed out that the European Union never gives financial support, as a way of avoiding interference.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe European Union has supported the electoral processes in Mozambique since the first elections in 1994. But, as a matter of non-interference in internal affairs, the European Union does not usually directly finance electoral processes,\u201d he clarified .<\/p>\n

\u201cThe European Union supports electoral processes in other ways, such as putting into practice the recommendations of observation and capacity building missions to support civil society in local observation work,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

Gaspar also mentioned the demobilisation and reintegration of the remaining Renamo combatants, warning that the process must not be limited to purely military matters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe balance is positive. We have already reached 70% of the demobilisation and the forecast of ending the process this year remains,\u201d he said. However, \u201cit is essential that the process is accompanied by measures of reconciliation, and support, via income generation activities, to the communities most affected by the conflict\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ant\u00f3nio Sanchez-Benedito Gaspar says goodbye to Mozambique after four years of maintaining diplomatic channels between the European Union and Mozambique. He will be replaced by Antonino Maggiore, who has served as Italy\u2019s ambassador to Zambia.<\/p>\n
