national board costa tv, in mozambique army and police forces struggled to a pound in search, and 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. the journalist, meanwhile, so cut off the chaos ensued. as mozambique supposes struggled to drive back the insurgents,
11:35 pm
the jihad is late to fill themselves and posted the footage on a website the so called is stomach state militants. 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. fine situs swelled their ranks, turning it into a brutal jihadist insurgency. the man with a friendly smile could be one of those are the head, the 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 no, i'm not hook, but analysts food use and i'm using,
11:36 pm
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 going back into those guys that will basically step in this war propaganda is as important as the actual, the taxes of my god and want to put it back once it gives the terrorist publicity for what they're doing with this. i know applebee's, that sound it could have been spicy. the 2nd started. i mean, there are the foreign fighters. so again, the doors, the mad them's or somebody who's apple, but did just that. i say it was per month. i know differentially in 2021 there we went and ami came on the scene and began facing down the insurgents. they drove out the us listed in
11:37 pm
a valid 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 and saw the government is 2500 kilometers away in the capital i'm approved to. 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
11:38 pm
the tower group to align lo, waiting for another opportunity to attack the cdo coast to witness the attack on palm of 1st hand that 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 and 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 what we thought our soldiers were doing, practice drills, but then we started hearing more and more gunshots. and that's when we got scared.
11:39 pm
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, lucky. but her manager roby told her about it after a while people started seeking refuge here. nobody expected. um, but it varies quite frankly, because people knew was the, the, the, the extreme is had been doing. people in the votes chopping them off and you know, being vague graphic. so you could imagine the fear of everybody that was in homer 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,
11:40 pm
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, 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 on my 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
11:41 pm
less confident that the insurgents won't be able to mount any significant. come back to you. does that to establish in this particular so there was a much, some successful clear most of the few remnants, it's got them different areas. we're not able to build the last 2 areas that they moved into play also. 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 phone. the site is really that sounds sales. what is the rest of the display?
11:42 pm
i'm remaining so he's actually played down there. so they supposed them from this window 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 one to 2 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 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
11:43 pm
a building that could contain enemy combatants. the attack on palmer and the armies response to it, cause the government to realize that the on 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 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 what the for so now, but it won't work without the military either. 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,
11:44 pm
london's soldiers from several southern african countries have also been deployed to mozambique. this patrol group is from south africa, the political arrival of when that 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 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
11:45 pm
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 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 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
11:46 pm
were london soldiers patrol the streets, then noticeably friendly. this office closed down to portuguese aubrey god or essential to the low cause you 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 commission since nothing bloody pie 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
11:47 pm
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. a go to make it good or something. what did i mean? what were these people supposed to eat? that of those lesson demands. that's why it was easy for the insurgents to recruit so many young men to fight against the government before on the 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 just made
11:48 pm
a point of your lives. 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 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 7 years. when the insurgents captain was seen by the prior, he fled knowing they tell him otherwise. he's the 1st attacks where as early as 2017 will guide you. that's when the extreme is started, killing innocent people and destroying their homes. 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 com. it was,
11:49 pm
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. life has returned here. now why didn't the 191 was what a put i or the coastal village of the loom be lines between was seen blood. the prya and palmer assembling of normality has returned to you to the health center has been setup 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 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. it will be the cure for to
11:50 pm
take care 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 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 of beacon army is 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
11:51 pm
in the neighboring village. many people have also returned too often months of hiding. they finally have access to water pumped again. but only 2 of 16 districts in kabul didn't got to proven, so i'll secure 200000 people out of the provinces to me and 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 can i the regional right? but this village has a school that is once again opened 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
11:52 pm
controlled by the rwandan on that the school is not run by the windings. it's operated by the french energy group to tell the 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 one to 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
11:53 pm
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 a conflict 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 if 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 okay, just figure out what i need to be cross country buses to venture out of the city into rebel held territory. the province of covered the 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
11:54 pm
there all the refugees such a 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. 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 to the bush. after a couple of hours, we ventured back and there was my husbands lying in the hut. they had to talk to you, i couldn't stay in our village anymore. so we came here. now will you come to the corner of google? so assume amount of clothing was all she could take with her the blankets,
11:55 pm
plastic bose, an early so spin were given to the camp. cute to people know nothing of the gas. welf. nearby and all she knows is that she and her children can't go home. she bringing east 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 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 nobody 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 via what is the,
11:56 pm
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 is it them? yeah. so, but the 2nd aid organization that used to donate food was cut into us me and one day they just upcoming central sense that we don't know why. time we're scrolling, the combusting 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. motor kilmore lima 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 split. she has no money to buy sea to plant. so the land is going on used. she's doing her best to clear the brush,
11:57 pm
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 left out to see a few uh, because of started lane pipes. but they are not allowed to talk about they. what is africa's largest private investment project slow? he was starting 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 lot i did. it was a government insistence on tackling this conflict with military means alone. i mean,
11:58 pm
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 if 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 article group before that but not in months basis. that's impossible. messages so years and even after that there might still be a late into conflict. you will see the likings $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
