Thousands of internally displaced people are being returned to their homes in Mozambique's Cabo Delgado province six months after a major militant attack. But some say repatriation is premature
Soldiers laid out rifles and rocket launchers seized from the militants. The Rwandan military's spokesman said they had already brought 25,000 people back home. "It is very safe for them to go back," Ronald Rwivanga told Reuters.
On Thursday, children played in the streets of the town of Palma and vendors sold goods from kiosks, six months after the militants attacked the settlement, killing dozens and forcing tens of thousands to flee. Yet security analysts say the Mozambican military deficiencies that allowed the insurgency to take hold in the north - including soldiers that are ill equipped, undisciplined and poorly paid - won't be easily reversed.Even with other forces there, they say, security is uncertain outside of small, heavily guarded areas.
