The Algerian government has pledged to support Mozambique in the fight against kidnapping and the jihadist insurgency primarily affecting the northern province of Cabo Delgado. | |
The agreement comes after Mozambique President Filipe Nyusi's four-day visit to Algeria. | |
President Nyusi told journalists on Sunday that Algeria had "promised immediate support for the Local Force, the one that is fighting terrorism". | |
He added that the North African country would train their forces and send equipment to help them in their fight against jihadist groups. | |
The two countries have deep historical ties, as the first guerrillas for Mozambique’s liberation war were trained in Algeria. | |
The Algerian pledge comes at a time when reports from Cabo Delgado say jihadists passed through Quissanga on Friday night, stole food and created panic. | |
The gas and ruby-rich province of Cabo Delgado has been a magnet for Islamist groups seeking to exploit its natural resources. Numerous multinational companies operate in the area. | |
