Pretoria – South Africa’s military chief said on Wednesday that multinational forces had been able to “disrupt” jihadist rebels in northern Mozambique since their deployment there last year.<\/p>\n

More than 3 100 troops from several African countries moved into troubled Cabo Delgado province last July after Islamist insurgents seized swathes of territory.<\/p>\n

Southern African “forces met strong resistance from the terrorists but were able to inflict fatal casualties and disrupt activities,” General Rudzani Maphwanya told media in Pretoria.<\/p>\n

The international forces “continue to dominate and pursue the terrorists in the operational area.”<\/p>\n

But Maphwanya said military action was not enough to resolve the crisis.<\/p>\n

He called for stronger governance to help people in the region return to normal life.<\/p>\n

“You must create conditions for the people of Mozambique to start picking up where things have fallen between the cracks and start going on with their lives.”<\/p>\n

Jihadist violence has killed more than 3 700 people and displaced around 820 000 since 2017, according to the International Crisis Group (ICG) think tank.<\/p>\n

Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi reported in December that the gas-rich region had suffered fewer attacks since the international deployment.<\/p>\n

Cabo Delgado is the only part of Mozambique with a Muslim majority, and also one of the poorest parts of one of the world’s impoverished countries.<\/p>\n

Efforts to exploit the gas fields have drawn the biggest-ever investments in Africa, including a $20-billion project from TotalEnergies.<\/p>\n

However, a brazen raid on the coastal town of Palma in March 2021 prompted the oil and gas company to suspend work on the project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
