Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Mozambican authorities say close to 90 Islamist militants alongside their hostages have surrendered to the government over the past two months in Mocimboa da Praia in Cabo Delgado province.<\/p>\n

The province has grappled with a brutal jihadist insurgency that has created a massive humanitarian crisis in northern Mozambique.<\/p>\n

President Filipe Nyusi in September announced a pardon for all surrendering jihadists during a tour to the province.<\/p>\n

Local administrator Se\u0301rgio Cipriano said the militants were well received and the process of reconciliation and reintegration was underway.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe ask communities to welcome the repentant as brothers, forgive all wrongs done, leave the past and pick up a new page. They are children of Mocimboa da Praia who return to their homes, to their origins,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Since 2017, militants have carried out abductions, beheadings, and the burning of homes in the province forcing hundreds of thousands to flee for their safety.<\/p>\n
