1) Dear followers, allow me to provide broader context on questions pertaining to funding for SANDF deployment in Cabo Delgado. SAMIM is operational in a vast area with about 1000 soldiers - Macomia, Muidumbe, Mueda, Nangade, and Quissanga.

2) Rwanda deployed in a smaller area, focused on MdP and Palma. Taking the above into account the small numbers of deployments, I cannot see how clearance operations will be completed by January 2022.
3) SAMIM deployment is to counter an insurgency with regional security implications. This is much more than just breaking the insurgent momentum. The ISCAP claim to credit in Uganda serves as a reminder that the insurgency is a conveyer belt for an echo chamber expanding.
4) SAMIM has the most complex task - enabling a secure corridor countering attempts at reaching MdP and Palma. Considering the lack of adequate intelligence and reports showing persistent tensions with Rwanda, soldiers are often left blindfolded in hunting insurgent cells.
5) In understanding this context coupled with a discretionary fund available to the President, let us not get sidelined. Let us understand contextual realities and a regional purpose that serves security and stability. They need our support.

7) To conclude: Persistent accusations against Mozambique security force abuses just leave SAMIM more isolated. All this begs the question: Who is the unwelcome guess in countering the insurgency?
