Rwanda’s president Paul Kagame has just arrived in Pemba, Cabo Delgado where he was welcomed by President Filipe Nyusi.: President Kagame this Friday begins a two-day visit to northern Mozambique, where Rwandan troops have since July been supporting the government forces’ fight against an armed insurgency in Cabo Delgado.
Mozambique’s president, Filipe Nyusi, welcomed his counterpart in the provincial capital, to hail the Rwandan forces, his office had announced earlier.
Kagame is to participate, as a guest of honour, in the celebrations of 25 September, Mozambique’s Armed Defence Forces Day.
In Pemba, the two heads of state are to hold official talks to analyse bilateral cooperation, as well as “to review matters of common interest, of the region and the continent.”
Cabo Delgado is a province rich in natural gas that has been terrorised since 2017 by armed rebels, with responsibility for some attacks claimed by the local affiliate of Islamic State.
The conflict has claimed more than 3,100 lives, according to the ACLED conflict registration project, and displaced more than 817,000 people, according to the national authorities.
Since July, an offensive by government troops with the support of Rwanda – later joined by the Southern African Development Community (SADC) – has improved the security situation, with control taken back of several areas with a rebel presence, including the town of Mocímboa da Praia, which had been occupied since August of last year.
