11:16 am
this. so just the troll is sitting within mozambique they passed by rows of destroyed shops and holmes a handful of stores have just reopened the soldiers has come all the way from new wanda, which lies 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 the world. one of the world's
11:17 am
poorest nations could 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
11:18 am
$20000000000.00 to the venture. it's the largest private investment project on the african continent. the rwandan army spokes passed and knows his forces are here because the governments of most and beacon rwanda have reached him at a tree 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, most seemed body brand, you know, several of the parts of the 2 districts who are assigned. and so yeah, the main, the main purpose is to restore state authority and to 3 times civilians to their normal lives. the operation has since been expanded to 3 districts. rwanda may
11:19 am
be small, 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 have found the insurgents. it took a week of fighting before they could drive the militants out of the city. one of the switch, just interviewing the soldier. when shots rang out nearby, the soldiers ran into the direction that the shots were fired from.
11:20 am
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 for themselves. fine, situs swelled their ranks,
11:21 am
turning it into a brutal jihadist insurgency. the man with a friendly smile could be one of those who 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. why know a lot but analysts food use and i'm usually believes i influence in the region is limited, but nonetheless, significant terms very immediately 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. go back into those guys. so basically step is again, 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
11:22 am
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 dom adams or some others apple, but dentist that i say it was per month. i know differentially in 2021. there we went, and army 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. so it's mostly tight lipped about
11:23 am
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 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
11:24 am
around 10 am or maybe 11, even. so that's i was working back there. have you heard gunshots and thought there must be some kind of problem for me weren't 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 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 the very,
11:25 am
very frankly, because people knew was the, the, the, the extreme is had been doing. people in the course 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 open the gate because a lot of people have running down here. 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,
11:26 am
an official in the small town. if it was to come down, there 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 or might 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 establish in this particular that's a much some of the successful the few remnants, it's got them different areas. we're not able to organize themselves
11:27 am
to areas where they moved into play also. but why did the insurgents attack last in 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. the site is really that sounds sales. what is the rest of the display? i'm remaining. so you've actually played down there. so this was them 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 to,
11:28 am
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 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 cause the government to realize that the armed forces need more training. before you run raise and lower your rifle, 3 times says the instructor, you understand 3 times, then you run but to just now, mean i says,
11:29 am
the insurgents can't be defeated by military means alone. 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, in order for us to not, but it won't work without the military either. so because of the insurgents managed to retake and tire area is suspended if they feel strong again, militarily, they won't be willing to negotiate. so both are important. in addition to their, london's 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
11:30 am
come to a village on most on beaks, northern border, which tends in the most in beacon salt as a trying to control the area themselves. they come on to emphasize this, the good relationship with the respondents. 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 at store money or food from them. there are even allegation is of rate the
11:31 am
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 officer cools down to quote a, he's already got to essentially, to the low close to, to the destruction caused by the fighting is evident everywhere the arabic writing on this will reads, do you have brenda?
11:32 am
please do not enter this house or remove anything until its participants give commission since nothing by the prior was we captured a kind of no matter t 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 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
11:33 am
against the government, the photo and data, 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 have to go sleep, instead of trying to make a peace wide, it stirred up the conflict. elemental myers because it added more fuel to the fire eyes and land. yeah. by sending in the police and military they as you and using excessive force. but as of the best of us that i've, i've had this, but i made a point of view last year. 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 that are not part of the mos in beacon army. they don't have police powers and come to rest anyone, but they all on you wow. mean has been part of the munition for
11:34 am
7 years. when the insurgents captain was seen by the prior, he fled knowing they'd kill him. otherwise, i am a very different me put them up as the 1st attacks, where as early as 2017, that's when the extreme it started to an innocent people in destroying their homes, stuff i've yet to split 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 call it was, it was real keep you were here and most and why did prior to me put you up? i'll come us cody, a good. yeah my it has returned here. now i didn't. the 191 was what i put i yeah. the coastal village is a loom be lines between was seen blood the prior and palma assembling it's of no matter t has returned to you to the health center has been set up run by their london ami. the demand is huge when the insurgents, when control here,
11:35 am
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 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 we 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
11:36 am
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. most i'm 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 the fight will soon be over the but so sondra is no sign of the rwandan pulling out in the neighboring village. many people have also returned to, of to months of hiding. they finally have access to water pump again. but any 2 of 16 districts and couple didn't got to proven, so i'll 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 that doorstep. nearly 40 percent of
11:37 am
most of beaks population can either reach no right but this village has a school that is once again open. around 400 young students are divided up between 4 classrooms and 2 ships 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 the london is 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 good news
11:38 am
is the capital of capital guided providence. 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, had high speed flash, adding that our conflict was under attack. that will not have that. so i put my foot down to and got away. yeah oh is that the reason 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 and i wish those involved in the conflict would find a solution. i don't know what they're playing and i don't think that if that is
11:39 am
that ok just to get the about what that need to be cross country buses to venture out into city into rebel held territory. the province of cobbled 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 they're all the refugees 30 year old kid where 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 to you, how to get involved with a man. she's been left with nothing. her husband was killed by the insurgents.
11:40 am
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 husbands lying in the hut. the heads off hand hold to you. i couldn't stay in our village anymore. so we came here on 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 camp. you 2 people know nothing of the gas well for nearby. and all she knows is that she and her children can't go home. she brings you 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 rest,
11:41 am
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 initial with them. the still around 40 new arrivals each week. must the children's crowns is a going for the equivalent to $10.00. but there is no bias. what is the, what is the multiple limits? most image that people remember, the biggest problem is providing food and then we'll 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 cut into us me and one day they just upcoming central sense of it. we don't know why time we're scrolling the competitive opinion. each family gets 50 kilos of rice every 2 months and
11:42 am
10 kilos beans along with a little flour. the campus home to 5000 people. motor kilmore lima is expecting to have to stay at the camp for a long time. she's not receive the smoke plots of land to grow food for herself and her 4 children. but she 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 can see resumed to extract and liquefied the gas of most of beaks northern coast. that the hotel boats were once again be let out to see a few uh, because of started lane pipes,
11:43 am
but they are 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, the vast, be completely safe. which won't happen if the fighting continues to as bush has no meaning. was that of a point them lot i did, it was the government insists on tackling this conflict with military means alone. i mean, if the government continues to insist on drawing military support from outside mozambique, but in that of mine stating the soldiers on mos on beacon. so it was that it still instead of then it may take decades. but if i did got this 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 that it may be over in a few years with the group but not in months message,
11:44 am
that's impossible message so year. and even after that there might still be a late into conflict. a will see like games $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 the cost, the guardians of truth. my name is junk and and i have paid almost every price of being enjoying this in a country like to tease taking on the powers that be the risk. every thing
11:45 am
john doing dar asks activist journalist and politicians living and anxiety too much on my shoulders. but i have to hold this weight because i'm responsible for the future follow country for the people who are behind the bus for their mission. people need to know what is happening there. you know, are series guardians of truth watching it on youtube. dw documentary, the, what does it mean to live as a woman in the law? just stress it you can in a country that doesn't want you in the community that oppresses you.
