Africa-Press<\/a> – Mozambique<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Rwandan President Paul Kagame visited the northern Mozambican province of Cabo Delgado to reaffirm the importance of collaboration between the two countries.<\/p>\n

Kagame met with President Nyusi and reaffirmed that the conflict in northeastern Mozambique against armed jihadist groups, marked by some successes of joint Mozambican and Rwandan forces, is in a “consolidation phase<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t see any insurmountable problem here; Whether it is fighting with insurgents, dealing with terrorists, and at the same time dealing with development matters that have been talked about. I don\u2019t see any insurmountable problem,” Kagame said.<\/p>\n

Rwanda was the first African country to send troops to the province – a thousand soldiers and police officers – in Jul, to help the Mozambican army in the northeast of the country facing increasing attacks by armed groups since late 2017.<\/p>\n

Other countries in the region have followed suit, including South Africa, which sent 1,500 soldiers.<\/p>\n

The Rwandan military in early August said its forces and Mozambican troops had retaken Moc\u00edmboa da Praia, a key port city from Islamist militants in northern Mozambique<\/p>\n

Moc\u00edmboa da Praia located in Cabo Delgado province was the rebels’ last stronghold and home to one of Africa’s biggest gas fields.<\/p>\n

The insurgents have not yet commented but the news is seen as a major gain for Mozambique in its fight against insurgents in its north<\/p>\n

Rwanda last month sent 1,000 soldiers to Mozambique to fight the militants, who launched an insurgency in 2017.<\/p>\n

More than 3,000 people have been killed and 820,000 displaced during the conflict.<\/p>\n

The Mozambican armed force which has been struggling to regain control of the province has been reluctant to seek foreign military help but has now accepted help from its neighbours.<\/p>\n

The southern African regional bloc, SADC, is sending in hundreds of troops, while former colonial power Portugal is on the ground instructing soldiers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
