African governments send troops to Cabo Delgado
Several African governments have now deployed troops to Mozambique鈥檚 Cabo Delgado province, where an insurgency has killed thousands of people over the past four years. Rwanda was the first to commit numbers, sending in around 1,000 soldiers, while South Africa, Zimbabwe, Angola and Botswana have also pledged to send forces in to support the Mozambican army. Borges Nhamirre, a research consultant at the Institute for Security Studies, tells Focus on Africa鈥檚 Esau Williams more.
