At least 40 Islamic State Central Africa (ISCAP) insurgents surrendered to a military position and turned themselves in Namiune, Nangade District. Intelligence indicates that they approached a farmer in the area handing him a handwritten letter outlining their intentions to surrender after which they marched hands up and without weapons.

The militants in the region have been suffering major losses and the latest entry of the Rwandan forces ISCAP has been feeling the pressure as they continue suffer losses and operation incapability.

Bernardino Rafael, the General Commander of the Police of the Republic of Mozambique (PRM) in his most recent in Macomia extended amnesty and reintegration into society for any militants that surrendered. He urged the families and friends to persuade the jihadists to come in and they would be deradicalized without punishment and allowed to rejoin the community.

The amnesty offer has worked in other countries like Somalia where al Shabaab militants surrender their arms and are rehabilitated before being allowed back into society. The amnesty program has proven effective especially targeting youth that were either coerced, kidnapped or those that changed their stance after seeing the terror group’s activities.

The surrender is a very positive sign of the effectiveness of the current CT operations and will be instrumental in undermining both the recruitment of new members as well as morale of existing terrorists. Despite the various challenges, the allied troops (SAMIM-RDF-FADM) have been exerting pressure on the terror organization and such occurrences show progress is being made towards eradicating the militancy in Cabo Delgado.
