At the Peace, Security and Governance Forum, with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, US Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin, US Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power, Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and the President of Niger, Mohamed Bazoum, Filipe Nyusi highlighted the support of Rwandan and SADC forces, saying that Mozambique has created “an environment where there is involvement of the region”.

The Mozambican president said that the partnership with the forces of SADC and Rwanda was an example that “African problems must first seek solutions within the continent itself”.

In addition to the military response to terrorism in the north of the country, the Mozambican president said it was vital to “educate young people” so that “they might not find in poverty a reason” to join the terrorists.
