Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Two researchers from Mozambique said on Monday that the death of Bonomade Machude Omar may not mean the end of the war in Cabo Delgado because the socio-political causes of the conflict remain, warning of the emergence of a more radical leader.<\/p>\n

The president of Mozambique, Filipe Nyusi, said on Friday in Maputo that the \u201cleader of the terrorists\u201d in the country \u2013 referring to Bonomade \u2013 has been \u201cput out of action\u201d but warned that the fight against terrorism would carry on.<\/p>\n

\u201cA villain is being manufactured, and a great victory is being sung as if this meant the end of the war,\u201d but the cause of the war is \u201cthe socio-political conditions\u201d prevailing in the province of Cabo Delgado, northern Mozambique, where Bonamade Machude Omar was operating and was killed, Joa\u0303o Feijo\u0301, a researcher at the Observato\u0301rio do Meio Rural (OMR), a non-governmental organisation (NGO) and author of several works on armed violence in that part of the country, told Lusa.<\/p>\n

Feijo\u0301 expressed \u201cdoubts\u201d about the impact of the insurgency leader\u2019s death on the actions of armed groups, pointing out that the rebellion is a resonance of the revolt of the population of Cabo Delgado and northern Mozambique against social, economic and political exclusion, in a context of abundant resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe [Bonomade Machude Omar] is not the cause of the war, but the local socio-political conditions. I don\u2019t think [his death] will change much,\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>\n

According to Joa\u0303o Feijo\u0301, for President Filipe Nyusi, the physical elimination of the leader of the insurgency \u201cis useful, because he got a trophy\u201d in the face of social discontent \u2013 with visible expression in strikes such as in the health sector \u2013 the approach of the local elections on 11 October and rifts in the ruling Front for the Liberation of Mozambique (Frelimo), he continued.<\/p>\n

The analyst warned of the risk that the triumphalism over Bonomade Machude Omar\u2019s death would produce \u201ca martyr and favour the emergence of a radical replacement because the dead leader has fanatical followers who allowed him to survive several years of insurgency\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is a villain to some and a hero to others,\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>\n

The researcher noted that the death of Bonomade Machude Omar could dismantle the operational capacity of the armed groups in Cabo Delgado province, given the late leader\u2019s charisma and tactical skills, but the future of the rebellion, in terms of action on the ground, remains unknown.<\/p>\n

Borges Nhamire, a researcher at the Institute for Security Studies (ISS), an independent African organisation for security studies, also warned that the liquidation of the leader of the insurgency will not automatically result in the end of the conflict in Cabo Delgado and could even lead to an upsurge.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe death of the leader does not necessarily mean the end of the insurgency,\u201d Nhamirre emphasised.<\/p>\n

The analogy with other groups that combine Islamic radicalism and the social revolt of the communities in which they operate shows that there have been conditions for the replacement of leaders who are killed, he pointed out.<\/p>\n

He noted that, in purely military and operational terms, the insurgency in Cabo Delgado is going to go through a \u201cperiod of disorientation\u201d, given the preponderance attributed to Bonomade Machude Omar in the insurgency\u2019s strategy.<\/p>\n

Borges Nhamire noted that Omar\u2019s prominence in the armed groups carrying out attacks in Cabo Delgado province was explained by the fact that he is on the list of terrorist leaders and groups in Mozambique, the United States of America (USA) and the European Union.<\/p>\n

The news of Bonomade Machude Omar\u2019s death, along with other members of the terrorist group\u2019s leadership, was first announced on Friday by the Chief of Staff of the Mozambican Armed Forces, Joaquim Rivas Mangrasse.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the investigation that has been carried out, and which is still ongoing, it has been established, with factual evidence, that the main leader who has been directing operations since the outbreak of terrorism in Mozambique, the Mozambican Bonomade Machude, known as Ibn Omar in the bush, also known as Abu Suraka, has been put out of action,\u201d General Joaquim Rivas Mangrasse announced in a press statement at the Maringanha barracks in Pemba.<\/p>\n

The conflict in northern Mozambique has displaced one million people, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and caused around 4,000 deaths, according to the ACLED conflict registration project.<\/p>\n
