The President of the Republic, Filipe Nyusi, said at the opening of the XXIII Coordinating Council of the Ministry of National Defense (MDN) that terrorist units should never be superior to our forces.

Nyusi also said that "in wartime, the commander must have his operational base in the Operational Theater, as our past experience teaches us. No one is safe until all the people are safe".

Quoted by "Notícias", the President believes that the terrorism that Mozambique has experienced in recent times creates conditions for different types of crime such as trafficking in human organs, drug trafficking, arms trafficking, among others.

"These crimes can generate resources to finance terrorism and, on the other hand, terrorism itself creates an environment of chaos that encourages these criminal acts and so on. In view of this reality, it is urgent to combat these phenomena in an organized, programmed and determined way, at the risk of jeopardizing the bright future we want, which is to build a prosperous future for our people," he urged.

The Armed Forces of Mozambique and the Civic Service of Mozambique cannot, according to Filipe Nyusi, welcome people with unrelated agendas.

"The recruitment process must not be characterized by corruption in order to avoid the incorporation of enemy agents.

Within the framework of combat, we want them to take the lead in designing a mechanism that strengthens combat capability, through the training of commanders, special forces, reinforcement or qualitative training of sergeants and quantities of personnel capable of facing the commitment of the Operational Theater".
