Africa-Press<\/a> – Mozambique<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Mozambican Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation said on Wednesday that the evolution of the situation in Cabo Delgado has been \u201cvery positive\u201d, praising the resilience of the population and soldiers.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Lusa at the United Nations in New York, Ver\u00f3nica Macamo explained that the \u201cmodus operandi of terrorism\u201d makes it impossible to make a concrete assessment of the future, but the \u201cevolution is very positive\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to keep battling, keep working. Therefore, our soldiers and children have to continue to resist, with the allied forces, until we manage to defeat terrorism\u201d, said the Mozambican Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that with the effort being made by our soldiers, police but also with the help of the SADC [Southern African Development Community] and Rwanda, we will effectively manage to fight\u201d, the insurgents successfully, said Veronica Macamo, welcoming \u201csome successes on the ground\u201d.<\/p>\n

The insurgency in Cabo Delgado has been one of the issues under consideration in bilateral meetings of the Mozambican head of diplomacy with leaders of other countries at the United Nations (UN).<\/p>\n

The diplomatic meetings are also focused on \u201ceconomic diplomacy, so that effectively [countries] can choose Mozambique as a destination for their investment,\u201d said the leader, who has been in New York since 18 September.<\/p>\n

Ver\u00f3nica Macamo Dlhovo said that Mozambique has \u201cexcellent conditions\u201d and, despite the \u201cproblem in a limited area of Cabo Delgado, limited to some districts,\u201d this \u201cdoes not prevent investments from taking place.<\/p>\n

According to Macamo, international leaders have shown confidence and support, based on the results of the cessation of hostilities agreement between the Mozambican government and RENAMO, signed in 2019, and the demilitarisation, demobilisation and reintegration programme of former RENAMO guerrillas.<\/p>\n

Ver\u00f3nica Macamo detailed that this is \u201ca process that contemplates the handing over of weapons, but also the creation of conditions so that the guerrillas can integrate in the best way in the community and cease to be out of the conviviality with the other citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have also received support to allow these programmes to flow,\u201d the minister added, highlighting international aid in the country\u2019s development and the fight against terrorism.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe terrorists have caused in Cabo Delgado a very large number of displaced people, so an unprecedented emergency. We have more than 800,000 people to feed, to take care of, to look after,\u201d who have left \u201cdue to the gravity, due to the brutality with which the terrorists act on the ground,\u201d she told Lusa.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would be very complicated with our resources,\u201d she said, stating that Mozambique needs \u201ca lot of help\u201d at a time when reconstruction is estimated at US$300 million (280 million euros).<\/p>\n

The minister for Foreign Affairs and Cooperation added that, with stabilisation and the gradual disappearance of violence, the hundreds of thousands of displaced people want to return, but Cabo Delgado is facing the destruction of infrastructure.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur big problem now is the reconstruction of those areas, because the terrorists destroyed the water system, the school system, the health system, the electricity system and are also destroying other infrastructures even linked to the public administration,\u201d described the head of Mozambican diplomacy, arguing that the populations have to return to \u201cliving conditions.<\/p>\n

AAccording to the Mozambican authorities, therding to the Mozambican authorities, the armed conflict between military forces and insurgents in Cabo Delgado has caused over 3,100 deaths, according to the ACLED conflict registration project, ad over 817,000 people have been displaced.<\/p>\n

Since July, an offensive by government troops with support from Rwanda later joined by the Southern African Development Community (SADC) allowed for an increase in security, recovering several areas where there was rebel presence, including the town of Moc\u00edmboa da Praia, which had been occupied since August 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
