8:16 pm
with dw business beyond. the soldiers patrol of 16 within mozambique they passed by rows of destroyed shops and holmes, a handful of stores of just reopened. the soldiers has come all the way from new wanda, which lives 2000 kilometers away to the north mozambique. their official mandate is to protect the civilian population, but they are also guarding this foster tip is moving mozambique on the buddha tons in the line, huge deposits of natural gas. if most in peak could extract the gas, it would become one of the largest energy supplies in weld. one is the world's
8:17 pm
poorest nations can become very rich, but the equipment has been shut down. nothing is happening. mozambique, gas wealth remains tantalizingly out of reach. and not the blessing, it was hoping for. the, the equipment is being guarded by random police and soldiers. it belongs to the french energy joined to town energy. a huge floating hotel boat has been pulled onto land. it's designed to house $3000.00 workers, but now stands empty to 10 energy had committed
8:18 pm
$20000000000.00 to the venture. it's the largest private investment project on the african continent. the rewind and armies folks past and knows his forces on here because the governments of mozambique and rolanda have reached a ministry age agreement. actually the fact that this was one of the locations that we had arrived on started operations is quite important because it is, was central. it was very important for the district. but so we moved on to other parts must seem by the prime, you know, several other parts of the 2 districts who are assigned. and so yeah, the main, the main purpose is to restore status that are $2.00 and $3.00 times civilians. to the normalize, dell for ation has since been expanded to 3 districts. rwanda may be small,
8:19 pm
but it's politically ambitious and its forces are peasant too confident. they can keep the insurgents at bay. through ended brigadier general pays it to the city of palmer which is right near the gas fields. it's a visit design to reassure residents that they're now safe which they want before. on march 24th 2021. paula was attacked by the jihadists. this footage was filled by national board costa tv in mozambique army and police forces struggled to a pound the insurgents. it took a week of fighting before they could drive the militants out of the city. what under this would just interviewing the soldier? when shots rang out nearby, the soldiers ran into the direction that the shots were fired from.
8:20 pm
the journalist, meanwhile, so cut off the chaos ensued. as mozambique forces struggled to drive back the insurgents, the jihad is late to fill themselves and posted the footage on a website the so called is stomach state militant group. o i s. it's unclear how many scientists they have. estimates range from between $2.30 the, at the start of the insurgency, most of them were disaffected young men from the local area. but i asked militants, soon, hijacked, the movement to themselves. fine, situs swelled their ranks, turning it into
8:21 pm
a brutal jihadist insurgency. the man with a friendly smile could be one of those are the head that victims a common practice among the group the they call themselves as low as soon as the amount of to the main sunni branch of the sloane for water a lot. but analysts food use and i'm usually believes i influence in the region is limited, but nonetheless, significant terms very made which there are a number of organizations that claim responsibility for the terrorist attacks, including the islamic state, w. i s, as they are primarily to provide a propaganda platform for the terrorists going back into those guys that are basically step in this war. propaganda is as important as the actual, the taxes of my god and want to put it back to once it gives the terrorist
8:22 pm
publicity for what they're doing. so there's a guy know applebee's that sound it could have been spicy. the 2nd starters level there are the foreign fighters. so again, or those dumb, adams, or somebody who's apple, but did just that. i say it was put him on in 2021. there we went and ami came on the scene and began facing down the insurgents. they drove out the us list soon, invalid duma, from the areas that they were selling to these include the city of palmer which is now considered safe. back in march 2021. the streets was strewn with corpses. many of them had been beheaded. another reason for the london security forces to remain on the ground. they know how brutal the search into the government is 2500 kilometers away in the capital of my food to it's mostly
8:23 pm
tight lipped about the insurgency and the security operation. but the people here in palma have seen the pulse cause the europeans and americans some have a sense of how well see that provinces. but then not expecting to benefit from it. in any case, there's been no progress with a gas exploration since march 2021. and it's quite possible that this strategically play city is also home to members of the tower group to align lo, waiting for another opportunity to attack the video course, a witness. the attack on palm, the 1st hand that survived. he does repair and maintenance jobs at a hotel and thomas before the insurgents arrived. it has many europeans as well as contractors from south africa hoping to and money from the gas plant. it was
8:24 pm
around 10 am or maybe 11, even i was working back there. we heard gun shots and thought there must be some kind of problem. it was left for everyone, immediately worried when we thought our soldiers were doing practice drills. but then we started hearing more and more gunshots, and that's when we got scared. was that people entered out into the street and saw people running all over the place. they were all petrified. so you can see that laurie from kenya owns the hotel, wasn't in palm at the time. oh, but her manager roby, told her about it after a while people started seeking refuge here. nobody expected. and the very,
8:25 pm
very frankly, because people knew was the, the, the extreme is had been doing people in the course chopping them off and, you know, being vague graphic. so you could imagine the fear of everybody that was in palmer and, and, and as roby said, we open the gate because a lot of people have running down here and buying it on the guy. there's after a few days, some of those who had found shelter here tried to get to the gas pump. but lin laurie says most of them were killed only if you manage to escape by hiding the bush for days on end. that same bush is now patrol, bury london soldiers on the lookout for insurgents. the london brigadier general has come to meet with my toes, karima,
8:26 pm
an official in the small town. if it was a crown that wasn't around when the militants attacked his town. he says he would have been killed immediately, otherwise the place is in ruins, but at least he's now able to return on i feel like a free man again, people sense that things are back to normal again. now. you know, in that the children can now play outside, but soldiers are still patrolling all the time. the rewind an army is never the less confident that the insurgents won't be able to mount any significant. come back to you. does that to us? a visit goes in this particular the ellipse successful. most of the few remnants, it's got them different areas. we're not able to build a license all these areas where they moved into play also.
8:27 pm
but why did the insurgents attack a while seeing the 1st place? it's not an important town, but what it does have is an electricity pump, and that appears to have been the target. so the, so i just destroyed this plan there by cutting the site is really that sounds sales. what is the rest of the display? on the remaining desk. so you've actually played down there. so you disclose them from this window. the power plant has now being repaired, so it was a and the surrounding villages have electricity again. but what would happen if there were wind and forces left mos in beacon troops would have to take over the capital. one to 2 is where the big political decisions are made. and there are
8:28 pm
plenty of people here hoping to benefit from the gas field top no right now, most in beacon sold is undergoing training from european union forces as part of admission to equip them to respond to the uprising. and the news. the training camp is right next to the city. the instructors come from several you countries, especially portugal. here the soldiers are learning how to approach a building that could contain enemy combatants. the attack on palmer and the armies response to it caused the government to realize that the armed forces need more training before you run raise and lower your eiffel 3 times says the instructor, you understand 3 times, then you run but to just now mean i says the insurgents can't be defeated by military means alone,
8:29 pm
as before, this has been in the military needs to understand the immediate need for negotiations and nicholas because a purely military solution won't work. of course, i know that, but it won't work without the military either. so because of the insurgents managed to retake and tire areas, if they, if they feel strong again, militarily, they won't be willing to negotiate. so both are important for tense. in addition to their london soldiers from several southern african countries have also been deployed to mozambique. this patrol group is from south africa, the political rivals of when the, when it comes to influencing the status on the african continent. but interestingly, the most in the government fest reached out to wanda rather than its neighbors. south africa we've now
8:30 pm
come to a village on most on beaks northern border which tends in the yeah, most them be consult as a trying to control the area themselves. they come on to emphasize this, the good relationship with the rwandans. the most important thing is to work hand in hand with our brothers from the one to, to guarantee the security of the entire district. people have to be able to get on with their daily lives without being afraid or having to restrict their activities . they need to be able to trust the soldiers but people here don't trust them. there are reports that the most in beacon soldiers sometimes steal from people or extolled money or food from them. there are even allegation is of rate the
8:31 pm
most symbol at the pry it is home to mos in beaks northern. most airport, the city was controlled by insurgents for an entire year. rewind and troops back by the mos in beacon ami recap to the city in august 2021. the fighting only lasted for a day, because most of the scientists had already left the port city whenever they were london soldiers patrol. the streets, then, noticeably friendly. this office closed down to portuguese aubrey god or essential to the locals due to the destruction caused by the fighting is evident everywhere. the arabic writing on this will reads, do you have brother, please do not enter this house or remove anything until its participants give
8:32 pm
commission since nothing bloody prior was recaptured, a kind of normality has returned. if you can consider it normal to share the beach with soldiers bearing empty tank weapons, some of these people moved off to being displaced by the gas project. they receive compensation at the time, but it's long since gone. because although they were given money, they weren't given the opportunity to build a new livelihood, according to bosses. and i mean, instead they found themselves without any man to grow food or go to get good or something. what did i mean? what were these people supposed to eat at? the 1st of the main things, that's why it was easy for the insurgents to recruit so many young men to fight against the government before on data. thank you. most of them. so,
8:33 pm
but i do miss owing data and most of the most in beacon government shows the wrong response and this conflict today as you have to go sleep instead of trying to make a peace wide, it stirred up the conflict element or might as well go get added more fuel to the fire eyes and learn. yeah. by sending in the police and military they as you and using excessive force. but as best of us that i've had this, but i just made a point of your legs. yeah. we live at them in here we run into most security forces, the so called photo central cause, a local militia. they now have a presence in many towns and villages, but are not part of the mos in beacon army. they don't have police powers and come to rest anyone, but they all own you. wow. visa has been part of the militia of the 7 years when the insurgents captain was seen by the prior,
8:34 pm
he fled knowing they'd kill him. otherwise, you tell him i've already given me putting them up as the 1st attacks, where as early as 2017, that's when the extreme is started, killing innocent people and destroying their homes, to slit in all directions, heading to every corner of the province. that can you call them for years i lived in fear and poverty during all that time. you might have to pick up, i'm seeing well, now we're back, the force on the call. it was it to to keep you were here and most and why did prior to me put you up, i'll come us cody, a good yeah. life has returned here. now. i mean the 191 will see what a put i or the coastal village of the loom be lines between was seen blood. the prya and palmer semblance of normality has returned to you to the health center has been set up run by the london ami. the demand is huge when the insurgents, when control here, there was no medical care tools due to the engines are extremely
8:35 pm
friendly. the many of these people had to hide out in the bush for months on and off and without food, and also without access to water and always to 80 has a toothache. he's one of 12 men in the force of college interlude be the cure for toothache. here is simple, okay, and i always say immediately gets back to work, defending his village. he's confident that he could do his job even without the help of the rwandans. and
8:36 pm
we're ready to take control once the rwanda leslie. oh, i know we're is well not to feed us. we're too strong for them now. i'm most, i'm beacon army and strong to we're everywhere now in palm and also here and i know that we think god for that the fight will soon be over the next. but so sondra is no sign of the rwandan pulling out in the neighboring village. many people have also returned too often months of hiding. they finally have access to water pump again. but any 2 of 16 districts in kabul didn't got to proven so secure. 200000 people out of the provinces to 1000000 can feel reasonably safe. mozambique is still one of the poorest countries in the world. people here know little about the huge gas reserves on my doorstep. nearly
8:37 pm
40 percent of most of beaks population. can i the regional right? but this village has a school that is once again opened around 400 young students, so divided up between full classrooms and to shift today. those not on shift can still be creative outside today the morning shift is learning gram. this is the only school in the area is controlled by the rwandan on the school is not run by their landon's. it's operated by the french energy group to town energy. what will the future look like for these children? how long will the rwandan sold to stay here? the
8:38 pm
business and the capital of capital delgado presents it's no longer under one to the control, but it's still considered relatively safe because the city is located on a peninsula with only 1 may to access road which a taxi driver tells us about his experience outside the city is of the what i didn't get shot at by the surgeons, but the drivers behind me did those type stuff and they suddenly overtook them at high speed flash, adding that a conduit was under attack. that will not i have. that is why i put my foot down to and got away. yeah. oh is that? i don't know what these terrorist attacks are bound. i don't understand why they're doing this. i just know that the attacks are happening initially. i wish those involved in the conflict could find a solution. i don't know what they're playing and i don't see that if it is that
8:39 pm
okay, just figure out why i need to be cross country buses to venture out into city into rebel held territory. the province of coverage, a guy who is also known as a smuggling route for weapons, drugs and diamonds, and us suddenly enough space here for the insurgents to hide the then there all the refugees such a year old. when a kiddo more lima has spent the last 2 years living in the roof, refugee camp together would have 4 children. a walker at the camp says she was on the run for a number of days. she only received food once in that time. to get it, she had to get involved with a man. she's been left with nothing. her husband was killed by the insurgents.
8:40 pm
hooked the way. it was 9 o'clock at night. i was alone with the children and we heard gunshots. i told the kids, let's get out of here. and we ran into the bush. after a couple of hours, we ventured back and there was my husbands lying in the hut, the same hold to you. i couldn't stay in our village anymore. so we came here. now what do you come to look for? i'll kind of sell a small amount of clothing was all she could take with her. the blankets, plastic bose, an early so spin were given to the camp. you 2 people know nothing of the gas. well, for nearby all she knows is that she and her children can't go home. he became a heads up the refugee camp. his motorbike is the only form of transport to evacuate the residence of the camp in an emergency and take them to the town. a few with 17 kilometers away. that town has
8:41 pm
a 1st aid station for lack of anything better to do the residence of the count. look on as a group of men tried to sell some 2nd hand clothing, but no one has any money. it's only the new arrivals that sometimes spring initial with them. the still around 40 new arrivals each week. hilton's crowns is a going for the equivalent to 10, but there is no via what is the, what is the model for minute? most image, i keep, remember it gentlemen, our biggest problem is providing food and some people need the u. n. world food program brings us supplies and it them. yeah. so, but the 2nd 8 organization that used to donate food was scotty. tough. me. and one day they just upcoming central sense a big we don't know why a stomach conical proceed opinion. each family gets 50 kilos of rice every
8:42 pm
2 months and 10 kilos of beans along with a little flour. the campus home to 5000 people. motor cal more label is expecting to have to stay at the camp for a long time. she's not received the small plot of land to grow food for herself and her 4 children. but she has no money to buy see to plant. so the land is going on used. she's doing her best to clear the brush, but there's not much else you can do. mozambique now has nearly 1000000 people who i intentionally displaced. the hope is that what can see resumed to extract and liquified the gas of mos in beaks northern coast. that the hotel boats will once again be left town to see a few uh, because of stunted lane pipes,
8:43 pm
but they're not allowed to talk about they. what is africa's largest private investment project? slowly restarting, that could lead to an annual $100000000.00 tons of liquefied natural gas being dispatched from here total energy and since the region and the vast be completely safe. which won't happen if the fighting continues as bush has no meaning. was that on the point some lot i did, it is a government insistence on tackling this conflict with military means alone. i mean, if the government continues to insist on drawing military support from outside mozambique or not of mine stating the soldiers on mos on beacon. so it was that it started up then it may take decades, but the fact that got this a mess up was that one put in, but that the government understands that you need negotiations and addition to smart and well executed military operations. with that as much that it may be over in a few years with the group don't before does, but not in months basis. that's impossible,
8:44 pm
mrs. economic so year. and even after that, there might still be a late into conflict, hopefully letting $20000000000.00 of investment from which the people of mozambique could also benefit only time will tell whether it's truly a blessing or more of a cost, the the enjoying the views. and come to take a look at this tv highlights me every week. email inbox, subscribe now become a criminal pretty kind,
