SADC mission in Mozambique launched

摘要

The Southern African Development Community (SADC) Mission in Mozambique was formally launched on 9 August, revealing that Tanzania has sent a contingent of troops. Tanzania shares a border with Mozambique's Cabo Delgado province, where the mission will help suppress Islamist militants, but was not previously reported to have contributed to the mission. Small detachments from the contributing countries, including Tanzania, participated in the launch ceremony held in Pemba and attended by the presidents of Mozambique and Botswana.
