Mozambique: Negotiated Solution in Cabo Delgado Explored with Swiss Support
The government is urging the political process to expedite, to convince and compensate the insurgents to abandon the guerrilla war in exchange for security guarantees. To this end, DANIEL CHAPO will have to grant amnesty to all who lay down their arms. The government fears that a new incident likely to affect Afungi, peninsula in Palma where the natural gas projects are located, could lead to a further suspension of construction at the TotalEnergies site (Area 1), jeopardizing the production start date planned for 2029 and delaying the final investment decision of the neighboring consortium, operated by Exxon Mobil (Area 4).
