to consider as well, the future is being determines now. europe revealed parts for in our series. in 45 minutes on d, w. we are all set and we're watching closely. we all seem to bring you the story behind the news. we rolled about unbiased information all 3 months. done. the soldiers patrol a city in northern 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 pulse. the tip is moving, moves and peak on the boat attends 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 the world. one of the world's poorest nations could become very rich, but the equipment has been shut down. nothing is happening. motion beaks, gas, wealth remains tantalizingly out of reach. and not the blessing it was hoping for. the,

the, 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 workers, but now stands empty. to 10 energy had committed $20000000000.00 to the venture. it's the largest private investment project on the african continent. the rewind an army spokes passed and knows his forces on here because the governments of mos on beacon rolanda have reached the ministry age agreement. or actually the fact that this was one of the locations that we had arrived and started operations is quite important because it is,

was central. it was very important for the palmer district. but so we moved on to other parts, most seemed body brand, you know, several other parts of the 2 districts who are assigned. and so yeah, the main, the main purpose is to restore state authority and a to time civilians to their normal life. the operation has since been expanded to 3 districts. rwanda may be small, but it's politically ambitious and its forces a peasant t confident that can keep the insurgents at bay through end to brigadier general hazel's visit 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 and most of beaks army and police forces

struggled to repel the insurgents. it took a week of fighting before they can drive the militants out of the city. one lists with just interviewing soldier. when shots rang out nearby, the, the soldiers ran into a direction that the shots were fired from the journalist. meanwhile, so cut off the chaos ensued. as mozambique forces struggled to drive maxine such and such, ma'am the jihad is late to fill themselves and posted the footage on a website. the so called is lubbock state militant group

o i s, it's unclear how many scientists they have estimates, range from between 2 and 3000 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 for themselves. find scientists swelled their ranks, turning it into a brutal jihadist insurgency. the man with a friendly smile could be one of those who the head, the victims, a common practice among the group. the they call themselves as low as soon as the drama of to the main sunni branch of the sloane for water. i'm not hooked, but analysts food use and i'm usually believes i influence and the region is

limited. but nonetheless, significant is very made, which there are a number of organizations that claim responsibility for the terrorist attacks, including the islamic state. i s as they are primarily to provide a propaganda platform for the terrorists going back into those guys. so basically, step is in this war, propaganda is as important as the actual, the taxes of my god. and want to put that once it gives the terrorist publicity for what they're doing, there's a guy know applebee's that sound a good, a good spicy at the 2nd step. just let me know if there are the foreign fighters for grad of those dumb adams or somebody who's f o. but did that. i say it was part of a monster load in 2021. the rewind and ami came on the scene and began facing down the insurgents. they drove out the estimate sooner. val juma 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 were strewn with corpses. many of them had been beheaded. another reason for the ones in security forces to remain on the ground. they know how brutal the search into the government is 2500 kilometers away in the capital. i'm up to 2. it's mostly 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 placed city is also home to members of

the tower group to align lo, waiting for another opportunity to attack the cdo coast, a witness. the attack on palm of 1st hand, but survived. he does repair and maintenance jobs at a hotel and thomas the full, the insurgents arrived. it has many europeans as well as contractors from south africa, hoping to en money from the gas plant. it was around 10 am or maybe 11, even i was working back there. you heard gun shots and thought there must be some kind of problem left for everyone immediately worried when we thought our soldiers were doing practice drills. but then we started doing 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 who owns the hotel, wasn't in palm at the time. oh, lucky, but her manager roby told her about it after a while people started seeking refuge here. nobody expected. and very, very, very frankly, because people knew, well, the, the, the, the extreme is, had been doing, people in the boards chopping them off and, you know, being vague. so you could imagine the fear of everybody that was in palmer and, and, and as roby said, we opened the gate because a lot of people have running down here and buying it on the guy after a few days, some of those who had found shelter here tried to get to the gas pumped,

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, 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 the things are back to normal again. now, what do you know in that the children to 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 in this particular that's a much some of the successful the few remnants it's got them different for it is not able to be organized themselves to areas where they moved into play also. but why did the insurgents attack a was 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 phone to slide is really that sounds sales. what is the rest of the display? i'm remaining so he's actually played down there. so

this was then from this one up to the stage. 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? those in beacon troops would have to take over the capital in the food to is where the big political decisions are made. and there are plenty of people here hoping to benefit from the gas field top no right now, most in beacon soldiers are 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 poor to go to the soldiers, the 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, as before, this has been at the military needs to understand the immediate need for negotiations and nicholas because a purely military solution won't work. and of course, i know what the for so not, but it won't work without the military either did. so because of the insurgents managed to retake and tire areas, said that if they feel strong again, militarily, they won't be willing to negotiate. so both are important. 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 arrival of when the, when it comes to influencing the status on the african continent. but interestingly, the most and the government 1st reached out to wanda rather than its neighbors. south africa we've now come to a village on most on beaks, northern border, which tends in the most in beacon solved as a trying to control the area themselves. the commander emphasizes 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 be consult, is sometimes steals for people or extort money or food from them. or, or even allegation is of rate the 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 backed 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 officer close down to portuguese aubrey god to essentially

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 occupants give commission since nothing blood deprived 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 bushes. and i mean, instead they found themselves without any man to grow food. a go to get good or something. what did i assess? what for me, what were these people supposed to eat at those lesson demands? that's why it was easy for the insurgents to recruit so many young men to fight against the government to photo. and yet i thank you most of them so, but i do miss owing data and most of the most in beacon government shows the wrong response. and this conflict today as you icicles lead instead of trying to make peace, why it stirred up the conflict element or might as well get added more fuel to the fire eyes lanyard, by sending in the police and military seal and using excessive force. but as of the best of us at that address, but i made a point of your lives, you will live. i mean here we run into

most security forces, the so called photo. so look of a local militia. they now have a presence in many towns and villages that are not part of the mos in beacon ami. they don't have police powers and come to rest anyone. but they all on you. wow. me has been part of the munition for 7 years. when the insurgents captain was seen by the prior, he fled knowing they'd kill him. otherwise he turned in my veins even me, putting them up as the 1st attacks were as early as 2017. that's when the extremist started to an innocent people in 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 in poverty. during all that time. you might have to speak up. i'm seeing well, now we're back. the force on the com. it was it was real. keep you were here and

most i'm going to prior to me put you up. i'll come us cody who yeah. life has returned here. now in the 191 will see why the prior the coastal village is the loom be lines between was seen blood. the private and palmer assembling of normality has returned to you to the health center has been set up run by the ones and ami. the demand is huge when the insurgents way to control here, there was no medical care tools. due to the engines are extremely friendly. the many of these people had to hide out in the bush for months on and often 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 to take care is simple

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. daddy and we're ready to take control once the rwanda leslie harris will not defeat us. we're too strong for them now. a most on beacon army is strong to we're everywhere now in palm and also here and i know the value we think got to that is this suffice will soon be over the next but so saw there is no sign of the rwandan pulling out

in the neighboring village, many people have also returned after months of hiding, they finally have access to a water pump again. but only 2 of 16 districts and couple didn't got a profit and 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 the doorstep. nearly 40 percent of mozambique population tonight, the regional right? but this village has a school that is once again opened around $400.00 young students so divided up between 4 classrooms and 2 fifths. today, those not on shift can still be creative outside today the morning shift is learning grama. this is the only school in the area is

controlled by the rwandan on the school is not run by the landon's. it's operated by the french energy groups to 10 energy. what will the future look like for these children? how long will the rwandan sold to stay here? the business and the capital of capital delgado presents it's no longer under london control, but it's still considered relatively safe because the city is located on the peninsula with only one major 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 him at

high speed shouting that a convoy was under attack. that will not happen. so 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 at home. 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 think that if it is that ok, just to get the about what that need to be cross country buses to venture out of the city into rebel held territory. the province of couple delgado 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 are all the refugees that a 2 year old will. nikita when lima has spent the last 2 years living in the roof refugee camp together, we'd 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. 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 to the bush. after a couple of hours, we ventured back and there was my husband lying in the hut. they had to talk to him what to, to you. i could just stay in our village anymore. so we came here. now could you come to the corner of google? so a small amount of clothing was all she could take with her. the blankets, plastic bose,

an early so spin were given to the cab. you 2 people know nothing of the gas. well, for nearby all she knows is that she and her children can't go home. she brings you 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 rest. 17 kilometers away. that town has a 1st aid station for lack of anything better to do the residence of the count. look on as a group of men trying to sell some 2nd hand clothing. but no one here has any money . it's only the new arrivals that sometimes spring and this will with them. the still around 40 new arrivals each week and i must, the children's crowns is a going for the equivalent and $10.00. but there is no via what is the,

what is the multiple limits, most image that people remember, the biggest problem is providing food and some will need the u. n. world food program brings us applies and it them. yeah. so, but the 2nd 8 organization that used to donate food was cutting tough me and one day they just upcoming central sense that we don't know why. summer school and the competitive opinion. each family gets 50 kilos of rice every 2 months and 10 kilos of beans along with a little flour. the campus home to 5000 people want to kill more label is expecting to have to stay at the camp for a long time. she's now received a small plot of land to grow food for herself and has 4 children, which he has no money to buy c 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 consumers you to extract and liquified the gas of mozambique, northern coast, that the hotel boats will once again be left town to see a few uh, because of stunted lane pipes. but they're not allowed to talk about they. what is africa's largest private investment project? slow here we're starting 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 says bush has no meaning. was that the point some lot was this 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, the amount of mind stationing the soldiers on mozambique and a soil is that it's still a set up then it may take decades. but if i did got this a mess up was that enough one put in, but that the government understands that you need negotiations and addition to smart and well executed military operations. without as much of that, it may be over in a few years with the group, but not in months basis. that's impossible, mrs. so years and even after that, there might still be a late into conflict. also the black ink, $20000000000.00 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 democracy takes back sort of control of the essentials. the digitalization offers europeans, many opportunities, but there are risks to consider as well. the future is being determined. now. europe revealed part for an hour series. and 15 minutes on d w. so in the sustainable motor you, researchers are finding innovative solutions for the future. they're going protecting our water resources successfully

rebuilding the 90 minutes on dw the this is dw news live from berlin. russia's present, it gives the wagner mercenaries the choice, joined the russian army, or leave the country in response to an important march on moscow by them, including says, wagner, fighters can either join russia's conventional military or to go to bell or roots where their leader has reported the agreed to go.
