Africa-Press<\/a> – Mozambique<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Mozambique\u2019s president, Filipe Nyusi, said on Monday it would be a \u201ccomplex challenge\u201d to maintain and consolidate the positions recovered from the armed groups operating in the northern province of Cabo Delgado, showing \u201csatisfaction\u201d with the progress on the front.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe challenge of maintaining and consolidating the rear has proved to be more complex, hence the need for more attention and rigour,\u201d Nyusi said.<\/p>\n

Nyusi was speaking during the official launch of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Standby Force yesterday in Pemba, capital of Cabo Delgado.<\/p>\n

Nyusi on Monday noted the recapture of the port town of Moc\u00edmboa da Praia and several \u201cadvanced positions\u201d of the armed groups operating in northern Mozambique, reiterating the commitment to eliminate \u201cterrorism and violent extremism.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe control of the town of Moc\u00edmboa da Praia and the gradual return of circulation between Palma and Moc\u00edmboa da Praia is the product of the bravery and delivery of the joint force, to quickly return stability to the region,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The SADC Standby Force, in cooperation with the Mozambican FDS and the Rwandan military contingent, should prevent the return of the armed groups to the areas from which they were expelled, he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn recent days, we have been receiving the news of the successful progression of our forces fighting together with our brothers from Rwanda,\u201d Nyusi said.<\/p>\n

The office of the president of Mozambique said on Sunday, in a statement, that the SADC military contingent included defence and security forces from South Africa, Botswana, Angola, Lesotho and Tanzania, in the areas of land, naval, air, intelligence and logistics forces, amongst others.<\/p>\n

The number of troops the organisation will send to Mozambique is not publicly known. Still, SADC experts in Cabo Delgado said in April that the mission should be made up of around 3,000 soldiers.<\/p>\n

Since the beginning of July, the Mozambican FDS has had the support of 1,000 soldiers and police from Rwanda to fight against armed groups as part of a bilateral agreement between the Mozambican government and the Kigali authorities.<\/p>\n

The Mozambican Defence Ministry on Sunday confirmed the recapture of the town of Moc\u00edmboa da Praia by the joint Mozambican and Rwandan forces, saying that fighting was continuing to \u201cconsolidate the remaining critical areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe joint forces of Mozambique and Rwanda have controlled the town of Moc\u00edmboa da Praia since 11:00 [10:00 Lisbon time] on 8 August 2021,\u201d the spokesman for the Mozambican Ministry of Defence, Omar Saranga, said at a press conference.<\/p>\n

Earlier, the Rwandan Ministry of Defence had already announced in a tweet the recovery of the port town of Moc\u00edmboa da Praia in a joint operation with the Mozambican FDS.<\/p>\n

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

Following the attacks, there are more than 3,100 deaths, according to the ACLED conflict registration project, and more than 817,000 displaced people, according to Mozambican authorities.<\/p>\n
