The Mozambican Defence and Security Forces (FDS) have driven a group of armed men out of the Matemo Island, Ibo District in the northern province of Cabo Delgado.
The information was announced by the General Commander of the Mozambican Police, Bernardino Rafael, on his visit to Matemo.
He said, “Thank you for telling us where they were.
“If we were able to attack and to shell them, it’s because the public told us.
“The FDS can only do a good job when the public collaborates, by denouncing the location of the enemies.
“As for now, the forces have made searches and we are sure that the terrorists have left and the order is restored to the island.’’
He urge the people not to join the ranks of the terrorists.
