At the end of July, Rwandan forces landed in Mozambique’s northeast Cabo Delgado province. Within three weeks, they had retaken nearly 85 percent of the province from Islamist insurgents, who had occupied most of it for four years.
Last weekend, Rwanda President Paul Kagame visited Mozambique, and with President Filipe Nyusi, they dropped in on the troops in Cabo Delgado. It was the first time in four years that Nyusi, who sought a pan-African hand from Rwanda against the rebels earlier in the year, could set foot there.
