Sadc to deploy troops to Mozambique

SADC is preparing to deploy forces to counter Islamic insurgency that has rocked northern Mozambique for the past two years.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has all along been pleading with other Sadc member States to intervene in Cabo Del Gado province, where heinous killings have been taking place perpetrated by an Islamic group in the region and Palma, the provincial capital.

Sadc announced yesterday in a communiqué after the Troika Summit in Mozambique that it would respond proportionately to the attacks.
