00:00 What is the impact of the pandemic on the security of the country?

00:02 As I can say, six, seven months or eight months ago, we could not be like how we are today.

00:14 Today, we feel almost stability in terms of security, where the people are getting movement everywhere freely

00:29 without any conditions.

00:32 So this is what the country needs, what the province needs, and the world as well what needs

00:42 because Capital Gov is being shared by worldwide people.

00:49 What is the impact of the pandemic on the security of the country?

00:54 There is a lot of coincidence what happened since the insurgents started attacking the province.

01:10 And in the first stage, at the day level of attacks, they were not considered as terrorists.

01:22 They were considered as insurgents where things could be clarified quick.

01:31 And also since 5th October 2017, when they started attacking,

01:44 there was a control one year without having any other problem with the communities.

01:54 So two years after, we started seeing people not getting stability,

02:09 people not getting their movement normally.

02:17 And suddenly, we started hearing from the people that the insurgents,

02:27 they were kidnapping and also they were killing.

02:35 So that was the concern from that moment and it had to be started, the behavior of them.

02:46 While our troops were looking for them, then we got the report that those were not insurgents,

03:00 were terrorists. So what they were following in the province, what they were looking for in the province,

03:10 I can't say I don't know exactly what they were looking for.

03:15 What is the impact of the pandemic on the security of the country?

03:19 Well, that is one of the kind of questions which also is very hard for me.

03:25 I'm a governor and I would like to hear from you how the people were feeling after those attacks.

03:36 I would like to hear what was done to protect the people.

03:41 But somehow I can say that the way how they were behaving, couldn't, any other country also could not feel that can be controlled.

03:58 You could control, but they were also doing their strategies for them to spread into the areas where they wanted to.

04:09 So we had our troops on time. They have done their best on that moment, as I said,

04:19 that they were considered as normally insurgents, but in insurgent what was happening on that moment, it was controlled.

04:33 But then they made themselves more stronger and they become as a terrorist, but also they were controlled by having,

04:45 terrorism cannot be controlled alone, have it to be in them.

04:49 What was the impact of the attacks on the security of the country?

04:52 Attacks were started in Mosin-Badr Prayer, 5th of October, 2017.

05:04 And when the terrorists start showing their behavior as terrorists,

05:17 I was here in Palma, at that time I was administrator and it was very hard moment to deal with,

05:28 but somehow we have to protect the people and our troops also, they were doing their duty.

05:39 And at that time what I had as experience, it was the way how we handled the people and to put them safe in areas where they could be much better.

05:56 And also 2020, then as elected governor, I moved from Palma to province,

06:13 but with the experience I had here in Palma, then it was also easier for me to go all way of the province,

06:29 those districts where the attacks were happening, we were prepared to protect the people.

06:41 And the reason why people when they had the opportunity to move from those districts which were attacked to the other districts secure,

06:57 they had also without any problem, then they were moved from the north and center of the capital to south of the capital.

07:09 The experience in this is not easy to speak and say that it was good,

07:19 but the goodness was to feel that people they were not alone, government was there.

07:27 People of the province who are feeling very well at this stage, those who were out of their districts to the other districts which were secure,

07:43 now they are returning to their villages, those which were abandoned.

07:52 That means that people they are confident with the good defense which has been done by the troops of Rwanda, Samim, local force,

08:12 and our force of defense in Mozambique. So it seems that there is no one who can blame it because today we are seeing very good result of it.

08:26 Well, everything has to be sustainable.

08:30 To sustain the confidence of people for this moment where we are feeling disability is very important to see quick of it,

08:43 but this is not easy. This is not issue which should be done suddenly now to tomorrow.

08:52 It will take its time, but the time which will take and seeing the way how we are taking the steps so the people they will continue to be confident of it.

09:12 This we should see that when you are in the war and when you get stability, the important is to see and to be confident that this stability is forever

09:38 because you experienced the war which were not very good for everyone.

09:47 So now with this stability what we have to say is that each one whatever what activity is taking, because this depends of the kind of activities,

09:59 some groups like us civilians we feel that everything now is ok, but some others who are in projects they need more.

10:13 There is some other complementary activities which have to be done to feel that now we got the way how we would like to see that now the security is ok.

10:33 Because in our province many of infrastructures, public infrastructures were demolished, were destroyed by the terrorists.

10:47 So some infrastructures are not yet on place and if you are not having some infrastructures it means that some staff or people who are offering service to the people in that area,

11:10 also they are not there, so then you get a lack of service.

11:16 So each service complement other service, so if we say justice, we say some other infrastructures or public infrastructures,

11:33 so without that maybe one can say no, for me without that infrastructure, without that service, without that people working on that,

11:45 I cannot do my work without them because if it happen anything here I will need the justice to take over position.

12:02 If you don't have it, so I can't.

12:04 So this service now are being constructed, they are in reconstruction, so it means that the projects they can have their other way of feeling that it's important,

12:21 which we don't know, but we feel that when we look at the civilians, we say well everything is ok, I'm here in Palma and I can go to somewhere to see my friend, my family,

12:36 and without being conditioned that no you cannot go this hour, you should go some hour after because of security.

12:48 No one talks at this moment, and we do feel that in case of the project, project can have, as they stopped for two years,

12:59 there are a lot of things which have to be fixed, not only the security wise, but also for the services which are going to be provided,

13:12 there are some issues which cannot be done before others, and those others should be placed on time.

13:22 But things are moving, and we do believe that the project will restart at any time, no need to give us time limit,

13:34 no need to give us a moment of happening, but we do believe that it will happen.
