Cabo Delgado is improving a lot,\u201d Macamo said.<\/p>\n<p>She said that the bravery of the Defence and Security Forces, with the support of military personnel from the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and Rwanda, had secured the recovery of areas that had been occupied by armed groups in the province, creating conditions for the return of former residents.<\/p>\n<p>The head of Mozambican diplomacy also pointed out that the government was working hard to rebuild the province.<\/p>\n<p>Instability in the centre of the country, led by the \u2018Military Junta\u2019 Mozambican National Resistance (Renamo) splinter group, the Covid-19 pandemic, corruption and unemployment would also be topics for the party delegates, as would lack of housing, particularly for young people, and domestic violence.<\/p>\n<p>Although the current President of the Republic and of the ruling party, Filipe Nyusi, is not mentioned, the 12th congress precedes polling in local elections in 2023 and in general elections in 2024, with political parties approaching the choice of candidates. President Nyusi is serving his second term and is constitutionally barred from running for a third term.<\/p>\n<p>The Congress is Frelimo\u2019s highest decision-making body, and the next meeting will coincide with the 60th anniversary of the founding of Frelimo, the political party in power in Mozambique since the proclamation of national independence in 1975.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mozambique\">Mozambique<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
