Rwanda has started deploying 1,000-strong forces to Mozambique to help it combat worsening violence in the gas-rich northern Cabo Delgado province. The announcement came on Friday after the 16-member Southern African Development Community (SADC) approved last month the deployment of joint forces to help Mozam- bique respond to the nearly four-year-old conflict, which has killed some 3,000 people and displaced almost 800,000, half of whom are children. Soldiers from Rwanda, which is not a member of SADC, would fight alongside Mozam- bique’s forces and SADC troops, the Rwandan government said in a statement. “The Rwandan contingent will support efforts to restore Mozambican state authority by conducting combat and security operations, as well as stabilisation and security-sector reform,” it added.Rwandan defence forces spokesman Ronald Rwivanga told Reuters He said the Rwandan contingent was made up of members of the police force global risk consultancy Verisk Maplecroft, said he believes the Rwandan contin- news agency the new forces would have de- and troops trained “to deal with terrorism and security-related issues” in Cabo gent could be used to secure key liquefied natural gas (LNG) sites in an effort to ployed in full by Saturday.
