Africa-Press<\/a> – Rwanda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Rwanda President Paul Kagame seen in Pemba, Cabo Delgado province, Mozambique, during a visit to the Rwandan soldiers deployed there.
\nPEMBA – Rwandan President Paul Kagame visited troops in northern Mozambique sent to help fight jihadist militants, thanking them for their “sacrifices” at the start of a two-day visit to the affected province.
\nRwanda in July was the first of several African countries to provide reinforcements to Mozambique’s army, overwhelmed by an insurgency in its gas-rich Cabo Delgado province linked to the Islamic State.
\n“The work hasn’t been easy,” Kagame told his soldiers.<\/p>\n

“You have done great work alongside Mozambican troops… sacrificed and endured days and nights in the scorching sun, heavy rains,” he praised.
\nMozambican President Filipe Nyusi called the Rwandan soldiers “real heroes” and said Mozambicans were “forever grateful” for “liberating them from rebels”.
\nForeign forces have helped Mozambique regain ground since militants launched a coordinated assault on the port town of Palma in March, halting multi-billion-dollar gas projects and raising international concern.<\/p>\n

Rwanda sent close to 1,000 troops to Mozambique in July.
\nMembers of the 16-nation Southern African Development Community (SADC) bloc have also been dispatching troops — including almost 1,500 pledged by Mozambique’s neighbour and regional powerhouse South Africa.
\nMozambican and Rwandan forces notched up a major victory in August, when they drove insurgents out of their de-facto headquarters in the port city of Mocimboa da Praia.
\n“The rebels better know that we won’t sit back and let them return and threaten the lives of the people in Cabo Delgado,” Kagame said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
