Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The non-governmental organisation (NGO) Ayuda en Accion warned on Tuesday that the war in Cabo Delgado is changing the territorial and demographic order of the province, highlighting the hypothesis that the violence is linked to \u201cextractivist interests\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe war is changing the territorial and demographic order of Cabo Delgado, leading hundreds of thousands of displaced people to abandon their livelihoods,\u201d reads a report by Ajuda en Accion.<\/p>\n

While admitting that the causes of the conflict are diverse, the research, produced over a period of one year, considers that one cannot ignore the existing connections between the displacement of populations, economic interests and the geostrategic importance of the province, with a strong extractive potential and which serves as a legal and illegal trade route due to its privileged geographical location in the Mozambique Channel.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt cannot be ignored that these new forms of violence, as in many other conflicts around the world, tend to be linked to extractive interests […] The \u2018realpolitik\u2019 of the struggles for control of African energy resources seems to prevail over the ideals of defending human rights, democratic government, human development and peace building that are mentioned in declarations and documents of the main international actors,\u201d it adds.<\/p>\n

The NGO also warns of an alleged \u201cmilitarist focus\u201d in the efforts to stop the war, in a province with a history of \u201cslow and structural conflicts\u201d in the last 100 years, namely the wars of colonial occupation, of liberation against the Portuguese colonial regime, the civil war and the current conflict.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis period, of just over a century, is extraordinarily short [to allow] for processes of territorial, social and mental stabilisation to occur and be established, [processes] that make it possible to create resilient alternatives to the use of violence in conflict resolution and social stabilisation,\u201d the NGO document reports, adding that \u201cconstant violence has weakened the individual and collective capacities of the people of Cabo Delgado\u201d.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, continues Ayuda en Accio\u0301n, the model of humanitarian support promoted during the conflict has generated dependence among the population and authorities, who have already received millions in international support to address the humanitarian crises that have arisen.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis humanitarian operation is generating dependence not only among the Mozambican public authorities, but also in the populations that suffer from the conflict, feeding ways of life where people are conditioned by a distributive economic model instead of models based on encouraging productivity through of the generation and use of their capabilities,\u201d the document maintains.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Lusa, the general director of Ajuda en Accion in Mozambique, Jesu\u0301s Perez, said that the priorities now must be to guarantee security for the gradual movement of the population back to their areas of origin as a result of the stabilisation of the situation, and to ensure that populations have the capacity to produce autonomously.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is necessary to promote the capacities of the populations so that they can engage in different aspects of the labour market. […] We cannot forget that 80% of the population in the province is rural,\u201d Perez concludes.<\/p>\n

Cabo Delgado province has been facing an armed insurgency for five years with some attacks claimed by the extremist group Islamic State.<\/p>\n

The insurgency has led to a military response since July 2021 with support from Rwanda and the Southern African Development Community (SADC), liberating districts next to gas projects, but new waves of attacks have emerged in the south of the region and in the neighbouring Nampula province.<\/p>\n

The conflict has already displaced one million people, according to the United Nations, and killed around 4,000, according to the ACLED conflict registration project.<\/p>\n
