This approach seeks to ensure, that when the Rwandans do leave, the Mozambican armed forces and police will be able to guarantee fully that they can meet the challenges posed in the defence and security sector.<\/p>\n<p>While the Mozambicans\u2019 own capacity is built up, the Rwandan troops will fight side-by-side with the FADM in the fight against terrorism and other threats to Mozambican sovereignty.<\/p>\n<p>Kagame had pledged to continue supporting Mozambique \u201cand we affirmed that we are going to step up the fight against terrorism\u201d, declared Nyusi. \u201cWe shall step up the fight because terrorism is the main problem\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Kagame\u2019s pledge came shortly after the European Union publicly guaranteed the first 20 million US dollars in support for the Rwandan operations in Mozambique.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, according to a report in Monday\u2019s issue of the independent newssheet \u201cMediafax\u201d, four terrorists have been captured in the town of Mocimboa da Praia. The jihadists took the risk of slipping into the town because they were hungry.<\/p>\n<p>They went to the houses of their mothers to ask for food. Their mothers did feed them \u2013 but also denounced their presence to the local authorities. Members of the Rwandan military contingent went to their homes and arrested the four men.<\/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.
