Africa-Press<\/a> – Mozambique<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Mozambique\u2019s President Filipe Nyusi on Monday called on Mozambicans who were part of rebel groups in Cabo Delgado to stop fleeing and hand themselves over to the Defence and Security Forces (FDS).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to invite you, alone, not to wait for death by persecution, that is not the intention of the FDS: in an orderly way, give yourselves up, so that you are not shot, because you have nowhere to go,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Nyusi was speaking during the ceremonies for the Day of Peace, which is marked today in Mozambique, a holiday alluding to the signing of the General Peace Agreement in 1992 between the government of the Mozambique Liberation Front (Frelimo) and the Mozambican National Resistance (Renamo).<\/p>\n

In Cabo Delgado (northern Mozambique), some were recruited, others voluntarily joined insurgent groups, which now appear to be fleeing due to a joint military offensive.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey left a destroyed village, they are afraid or sorry to go back there, and they are running from one place to another being pursued endlessly,\u201d Nyusi said, in the face of military operations with the support of Rwanda and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) that have been regaining ground from the insurgents since July.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou saw that before yesterday,\u201d Saturday, Nyusi said, giving the example of protecting the population during an incident with insurgents.<\/p>\n

As he described it, it was an \u201cattempt that scared the population of Namitile where the enemy shot into the air to try to recover some women from Niassa\u201d, a neighbouring province.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese women are with us, we will protect them, and the enemy cannot rescue them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Filipe Nyusi said that in Cabo Delgado, \u201cthe fighting is happening\u201d and \u201cthe enemy will not find a permanent space\u201d after the \u201cdestruction of the Mbau base, Siri 1, Siri 2 and other bases\u201d where the \u201cenemy was hiding\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are sure that there are leaders of these forces who are fleeing, even out of the country,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Cabo Delgado province is rich in natural gas but terrorised by armed rebels, with some attacks claimed by the extremist group Islamic State.<\/p>\n

The conflict has led to 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
