Together we make a difference, and we are stronger,\u201d said the head of the Frelimo parliamentary delegation.<\/p>\n<p>S\u00e9rgio Pantie appealed to the young people attracted by the armed groups to return to normal life, abandoning the path of violence.<\/p>\n<p>The province of Cabo Delgado is rich in natural gas but terrorised since 2017 by armed rebels, with some attacks claimed by the extremist group Islamic State.<\/p>\n<p>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<p>Since July, an offensive by government troops with the support of Rwanda, which was later joined by the Southern African Development Community (SADC), allowed increased 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<p>The Mozambican parliament resumed plenary sessions today after a five-month pause, with a plan that has the approval of the State Budget for 2022 as the highest point on the agenda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
