Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The president of Mozambique, Filipe Nyusi, said on Thursday that the terrorists in Cabo Delgado \u201care in constant flight, agony and suffocation\u201d under the pressure of the military operations of recent weeks and called for their voluntary surrender without reprisals.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Mozambican people have never been a people of hate. You can come back, you will be with us, and we will build our country.<\/p>\n

Realise that you won\u2019t live forever in the forests, away from your families. Come back and join other Mozambicans to develop the country,\u201d said the head of state.<\/p>\n

\u201cBring your weapons, give yourselves up,\u201d he insisted during his official speech on Victory Day of the Lusaka Accords, the centrepiece of which is taking place today in the town of Maxixe, Inhambane province, in which he acknowledged that \u201cthere have been so many\u201d who have given themselves up in recent months.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe stubborn terrorists, in small groups, are in constant flight, agony and suffocation,\u201d Filipe Nyusi said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am capitalising on this ceremony to invite those Mozambicans who are still in the bush, on the side of the terrorists, to hand themselves in to the authorities with the guarantee that they will be welcomed with open arms, as has been the case with those who have given up crime and are now safe with their families and friends,\u201d he reiterated.<\/p>\n

Since October 2017, \u201csome districts of Cabo Delgado province have been victims of international terrorism,\u201d which \u201chas claimed the lives of more than 2,000 Mozambicans, destroyed the social fabric of the region as well as economic and social infrastructure, both public and private,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The president praised the Defence and Security Forces, who promptly took up a position in defence of the \u201cpopulation and their property\u201d but acknowledged that \u201cas this is a new type of threat,\u201d they initially \u201chad minor difficulties\u201d.<\/p>\n

Even so, he said, \u201cover time, and progressively\u201d, the military \u201chave been raising the level of operations\u201d, relying on the \u201caffectionate\u201d Local Force in the rear \u2013 made up of former fighters in the national liberation struggle, with experience in the field \u2013 who \u201chave been making a difference on the battlefield and have been able to pass on knowledge\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cApplying heavy blows to the terrorists,\u201d said Filipe Nyusi, pointing in particular to the results of the fighting on 8 and 22 August, in which Mozambican Bonomade Machude, known as Ibn (or Ibin) Omar in the bush, or also as Abu Suraka, considered the leader of the \u201cterrorist operations\u201d in Mozambique, was put \u201cout of action\u201d \u2013 as announced on 25 August \u2013 along with \u201ctwo other prominent operatives\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome don\u2019t believe it, but they have to. There\u2019s no way,\u201d Nyusi insisted about Ibn Omar\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

However, he warned: \u201cWe are not saying that terrorism is over, nor will we have the audacity to say so.\u201d<\/p>\n

The security situation \u201chas improved considerably,\u201d and a large part of the displaced population \u201chas returned to their areas of origin\u201d, but these casualties \u201cdo not mean that terrorism is over. We are aware that winning a battle is not synonymous with winning the war,\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe call on all Mozambicans to be vigilant in relation to any strange movement in the communities, to alert the authorities all over the country,\u201d the head of state added.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, Mozambique marks the day of the signing of the peace agreements in the country, signed with the Portuguese government on 7 September 1974 in Lusaka, the capital of Zambia, which preceded Mozambican independence.<\/p>\n

The president revealed that 1,190 veterans of the national liberation struggle were decorated today throughout the country, bringing the total to 17,651 former combatants honoured with this title.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore than just a chest ornament, it is a recognition of all Mozambicans,\u201d he said, calling on younger people to \u201cpreserve what was achieved with great sacrifice by their elders\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, 49 years later, the sun continues to shine on our territory, one and indivisible. Mozambique has the same territorial dimension, reconquered in the light of the Lusaka agreements, and this feat is the work of the so-called 25 September generation and those who inherited the defence of our sovereignty from them,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
