Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>President Paul Kagame and his Mozambican counterpart Filipe Nyusi on Thursday, January 25 held talks in Kigali.<\/p>\n

Their discussions centred around \u201cways to further strengthen the existing productive bilateral cooperation in various areas of mutual interest,\u201d Village Urugwiro said on Friday morning.<\/p>\n

Rwanda and Mozambique cooperate in ways that include military operations in the Southern African country\u2019s province of Cabo Delgado, where their armed forces fight against Islamic State-linked terrorists.<\/p>\n

In a Facebook post on Friday, President Nyusi said his working visit lasted \u201ca few hours\u201d and that with President Kagame they discussed ways of \u201caddressing issues of bilateral cooperation, deepening and strengthening the friendly ties between the two peoples and countries.\u201d<\/p>\n

His visit came three days after that of Admiral Joaquim Mangrasse, the Chief of General Staff of Mozambique\u2019s Armed Defence Forces (FADM), who met with General Mubarakh Muganga, Chief of Defence Staff of Rwanda Defence Force (RDF).<\/p>\n

Mangrasse said their discussions centred around the two countries\u2019 collaboration in combating terrorism.<\/p>\n

In July 2021, Rwanda deployed troops to the region located off the coast of the Indian Ocean, at the request of Nyusi\u2019s government.<\/p>\n

Joint operations by Rwanda Security Forces and FADM have uprooted the insurgents from most of the territory they controlled before the Rwandan deployment.<\/p>\n

More than 250,000 residents of Cabo Delgado, who were displaced by the insurgency, have returned to their homes. Economic activities have resumed in the coastal districts such as Palma, Mocimboa da Praia and Ancuabe, which had been paralysed by terrorist attacks since 2017.<\/p>\n

Mozambican officials commend Rwandan troops for having done \u201ca very good job\u201d of combating members of the Ansar al Sunnah wal Jama\u2019a group.<\/p>\n

The Islamist group, accused of killing more than 4,000 civilians and taking hostages, had wreaked havoc in six districts, namely Palma, Nangade, Muidumbe, Quissanga, Macomia and Mocimboa da Praia.<\/p>\n

A mission from the Southern African Development Community (SADC) operates in Nangade, Muidumbe and Quissanga. However, the Rwandan, Mozambican and SADC forces carry out joint operations from time to time.<\/p>\n

In December, the forces said they were planning to launch renewed attacks on the terrorists now located in a forested area in the district of Macomia.<\/p>\n
