Africa-Press<\/a> – Mozambique<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi on Monday urged the terrorists operating in parts of the northern province of Cabo Delgado to turn themselves over to the authorities.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters in Maputo, immediately after laying a wreath at the Monument to the Mozambican Heroes, to mark the 29th anniversary of the 1992 peace agreement between the government and the Renamo rebels, ending the war of destabilisation, Nyusi stressed that the terrorists \u201chave nowhere to go\u201d.<\/p>\n

They were now relentlessly pursued by the Mozambican defence and security force and their allies from Rwanda and the Standby Force of SADC (Southern African Development Community). The terrorists had been driven out of their main bases (known as Siri-1 and Siri-2).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are sure that leaders of these groups are on the run\u201d, he said, \u201cand may even have left the country\u201d.<\/p>\n

Nyusi stressed that it was not the government\u2019s intention to take reprisals. Whether they had voluntarily joined the ranks of the terrorists, or had been pressganged, they were now disoriented, just running from one place to the next.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to urge them not to wait alone to be pursued until they are killed\u201d, said Nyusi. \u201cThat is not the intention of the defence and security forces. They should surrender, in an orderly fashion\u201d.<\/p>\n

Nyusi also urged Mariano Nhongo, the leader of the self-styled Renamo Military Junta, to surrender and join the current demobilization of the Renamo militia.<\/p>\n

The Junta broke away from Renamo in mid-2019, and Nhongo has repeatedly denounced Renamo leader Ossufo Momade as \u201ca traitor\u201d. His forces staged repeated ambushes on the main roads of the central provinces of Manica and Sofala throughout 2020, but since January only one attack has been attributed to the Junta.<\/p>\n

Many Junta members, including some of Nhongo\u2019s close aides, have surrendered. Nyusi revealed that in late September, the defence forces came close to capturing Nhongo, near the town of Inhaminga, in Sofala.<\/p>\n

In making his escape, Nhongo had left his jacket behind, said the President. \u201cIt can\u2019t go on like this\u201d, he said. \u201cHe must surrender. He should not wait for something strange to happen with him\u201d.<\/p>\n

Nyusi promised that, if he surrenders, Nhongo will not be harmed. He will be demobilised and then \u201che will organize his life, and choose where he wants to stay\u201d.<\/p>\n
