Zimbabwe President Emmerson Mnangagwa, who is also the chairperson of the SADC organ on Politics and Defense hosted the SADC Troika plus Mozambique Summit in Harare to discuss an Islamic insurgency in the Northern parts of Mozambique.
Mozambique, Botswana and Zambia Presidents attended the summit on Tuesday.
The summit was held at a formal request of Nyusi to the regional body for measures to be taken to address the āurgent security situationā in Zimbabweās eastern neighbors.
Mnangagwa said the insurgency in neighboring Mozambique needs āan enhanced joint action (by SADC) given the transnational nature of the terrorist groupsā operating in that country.
Mozambique faces the twin threat of banditry from renegade Renamo elements, and from Islamic terrorists who have created mayhem in the Carbo Delgado region of that country.
Zimbabwe depends on her eastern neighbour for outlets to the sea, making security disturbances in that country a direct threat to Zimbabwe.
