SOUTHERN African Development Community leaders gathered for an emergency meeting this week in Maputo, Mozambique, following a recent get-together in Gaborone, Botswana, to discuss the volatile political and security situation in that country’s gas-rich Cabo Delgado northern region.
The leaders agreed on Monday in Maputo to hold yet another emergency summit in January next year to discuss the conflict threatening not just Mozambique’s internal peace and stability, but also the whole region’s security, with Zimbabwe seriously vulnerable as most of its oil supplies come through the neighbouring country’s port of Beira.
Those who attended the meeting included Presidents Felipe Nyusi of Mozambique, South Africa’s Cyril Ramaphosa, Mokgweetsi Masisi of Botswana and Zimbabwe’s Emmerson Mnangagwa.
Many locals complain that they have benefited little from the province’s extraction of rubies and gas by Western multinationals.
The under-resourced Mozambican government requested Zimbabwe’s military assistance under a bilateral agreement in August this year as Sadc remains reluctant to mount a concerted regional effort.
In addition to the ASWJ, radical opposition Renamo militias have also escalated violent attacks in the central and western Manica province, posing a realistic danger to Zimbabwe and its economic interests.
There are fears that the insurgency will spill into an already fragile Zimbabwe, threatening the country’s security and critical imports and exports via the Port of Beira, including vital fuel supplies.
