Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The Mozambican prime minister said on Wednesday in parliament that the military response that has been given since July to the armed insurgency in Cabo Delgado, in the north of the country, is recording progress.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe progress made by the Defence and Security Forces has allowed the circulation of people and goods to be opened,\u201d and \u201cpart of the population that had moved to other places is gradually returning,\u201d Agostinho do Rosario said as he assessed the joint action with forces from the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and Rwanda.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this moment, Defence and Security Forces, in coordination with SADC and Rwanda, are continuing with mopping-up, clearing and consolidation actions of the recovered sites,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The prime minister was answering questions from members of parliament about the situation in the province in a session dedicated to questions to the government.<\/p>\n

He recalled that the Mozambican government had presented a Reconstruction Plan for Cabo Delgado, budgeted at US$300 million (\u20ac258 million).<\/p>\n

In the plan, US$200 million (\u20ac172 million) is earmarked for implementing short-term actions, which include the replacement of public administration, health units, schools, energy, water supply, amongst other aspects.<\/p>\n

\u201cPart of this amount needed to implement actions with an immediate impact is already ensured via redistribution of the budget,\u201d he said, also noting the support of international partners, such as the World Bank, which on Monday announced a further US$100 million (\u20ac86 million) to support the plan.<\/p>\n

In terms of natural gas exploration by oil company Total in Cabo Delgado, he said that the government remained in direct contact with the multinational company to find solutions to the suspension of activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe suspension of all activities will result in the deferral and delay in revenue collection for the State, as well as a direct negative impact for small and medium-sized companies that were directly and indirectly linked to the project,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Mozambican government \u201cis in direct contact with Total to find solutions to minimise the costs arising from the suspension of contracts for the supply of goods and services\u201d by companies, he said.<\/p>\n

According to the Mozambican prime minister, the actions of the rebel groups have no logical basis and differ from \u201ca regular war.<\/p>\n

It includes children \u201cinstrumentalised\u201d by \u201cterrorists\u201d who want to \u201cpromote the interests of certain people or groups, opening up space for the trafficking of arms, drugs and human beings\u201d, Carlos Agostinho do Ros\u00e1rio said.<\/p>\n

Cabo Delgado province is rich in natural gas but has been terrorised since 2017 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

Since July, an offensive by government troops with international support allowed increasing 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
