President Nyusi: Cabo Delgado's future is not sealed with the withdrawal of SADaC forces

The Republic's president, Filipe Nyusi, has stated that the struggle against terrorism in Cabo Delgado will continue despite the departure of SADC forces from the Northern Operational Theatre on July 15.

During his participation in the extraordinary summit of the troika of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the body for cooperation in the areas of politics, defence, and security, Filipe Nyusi drew attention to certain countries' expressed interest in forging bilateral cooperation to combat terrorism.
"Everything points to July 15th as a possible withdrawal date." In the meantime, we as a nation will continue to scale up our military efforts, and other countries have offered to collaborate with us on a bilateral basis."

The Mozambican politician emphasised that SADC, as a local alliance, is committed to assisting the country during times of need.
