Africa-Press<\/a> – Mozambique<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Southern African Development Community (SADC) military deployment in Cabo Delgado is likely to extend through 2022 and still be unable to contain the expanding insurgency in northern Mozambique, Eurasia Group predicts.<\/p>\n

According to the political risk assessment company, the recent outbreak of unrest in the provinces of KwaZulu Natal and Gauteng has led South Africa \u2013 leader of the SADC mission, which has a planned deployment of troops of around 3,000, backed by air and naval means \u2013 to rethink its participation in military support to Mozambique.<\/p>\n

Pretoria \u201cmade authorisation of the mission conditional on assessments by the South African and Botswana intelligence services confirming the need for it. The change in position is due in part to the internal security situation,\u201d the Eurasia Group said in a report released at the end of last week.<\/p>\n

The South African government has deployed 25,000 troops to quell recent unrest in the provinces of KwaZulu Natal and Gauteng, where they are to remain until October.<\/p>\n

But Pretoria\u2019s change of position is still linked to concerns about SADC member states\u2019 funding of the operation.<\/p>\n

The sub-regional organisation initially budgeted the operation in northern Mozambique at $12 million. Still, cost estimates have since risen to $60 million, much on the back of expectations that the mission will now run until mid-2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe economic impact of the unrest in South Africa and the additional expenditure by the South African state to address its socio-economic challenges make it unlikely that South Africa will meet its quota of a total 1,500 troops earmarked for the SADC force,\u201d the analyst institute estimates.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, other SADC member states \u201chave so far shown no willingness to fill the financial and personnel gap left by South Africa, calling into question the effectiveness of the regional intervention,\u201d Eurasia Group adds.<\/p>\n

A small battalion of South African troops, made up of special forces and unrelated to the planned SADC force, was deployed in northern Mozambique on 22 July, but \u201cit is unlikely\u201d that these troops will have \u201ca significant impact\u201d on the evolution of the conflict, the risk assessment institution says.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe SADC response is now likely to be significantly smaller, leaving Mozambique dependent on further troop deployments from Rwanda and potentially Angola,\u201d the report adds.<\/p>\n

Mozambique has requested assistance from Rwanda to carry out combat operations in Cabo Delgado, but \u201cit is unlikely\u201d that the security situation in the province will stabilise in the short term, \u201cdue to a lack of coordination between Mozambican and Rwandan troops, which has led to tensions between the two contingents,\u201d the institution also stresses.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo far, the Mozambican troops have not been willing to accept the direction of their Rwandan counterparts and have retreated on two separate occasions, leaving the Rwandan troops isolated,\u201d illustrates the Eurasia Group.<\/p>\n

This dynamic could be exacerbated by the arrival of troops from SADC, whose force has its own commander. Mozambique is creating a joint operational command, but no announcement has been made about who will lead this structure or where it will be based.<\/p>\n

The operational challenges facing the joint military mission \u201cwill likely facilitate the insurgency\u2019s southward spread towards the locations of liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects,\u201d the same source estimated.<\/p>\n

According to Eurasia Group, attacks by insurgent groups \u201chave followed each other since 20 July in the vicinity of Palma\u201d, where fighting last broke out in April.<\/p>\n

Palma, 30km from many of the LNG projects under development, has been the base for many foreign contractors. It is unlikely that any LNG projects in northern Mozambique will restart operations until the area is secure.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe long-term security and stability of LNG projects in the region will benefit from training programmes for the Mozambican armed forces run by the United States, European Union, and Portugal. Given Total\u2019s significant investment in the country, France could contribute additional resources to the training of the Mozambican security forces,\u201d Eurasia Group concluded.<\/p>\n

Armed groups have terrorised Cabo Delgado province since 2017, with some attacks claimed by the radical armed group Islamic State.<\/p>\n

The attacks have so far claimed more than 3,100 lives, according to the ACLED conflict registration project, and are at the root of more than 817,000 displaced people, according to Mozambican authorities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
