The leaders of Mozambique and Tanzania have signed defense and security agreements aimed at fighting terrorism and crime along their shared border. No details were released on the content of the agreements signed during a visit to Maputo by Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan on Wednesday (September 21). A deadly insurgency broke out in northern Mozambique near the Tanzanian border five years ago, killing thousands and displacing hundreds of thousands. Nyusi visited the recovered port of Mocimboa da Praia, a former de facto jihadist headquarters, on Tuesday. Mozambican forces, backed by Rwandan troops, claimed in August 2021 to have driven out the militants occupying the port.
