UN General Assembly
2023

With the improvement of safety and tranquillity, populations have been returning in large numbers to their home areas and resuming their normal life. This is a pioneer experience of combining bilateral and multilateral interventions. It is also an example of African problems being solved, first and foremost, by Africans themselves. However, the issue arising is the need for substantial support to those countries that are directly intervening in countering terrorism with us in Mozambique in order to render the ongoing operations sustainable. At this juncture, the challenge is the reconstruction of infrastructure and the consolidation of social cohesion. The relevant activities are being undertaken in the context of the Northern Region Resilience and Integrated Development Programme, which relies on the support of partners. We have also launched an appeal for the solidarity of United Nations Members, another component of our strategy to counter terrorism and address fragilities.
