Terrorism financing in Mozambique is a complex issue, particularly in relation to the insurgency in the northern province of Cabo Delgado. This region has been experiencing significant violence from extremist groups since 2017. Key aspects of this problem include:
1. Natural Resources: Cabo Delgado is rich in natural resources, including natural gas and gemstones. Extremist groups have exploited these resources to fund their activities. Illicit trade in gemstones, particularly rubies, has been a notable source of income.
2. Smuggling Networks: The region’s porous borders facilitate smuggling operations, including arms and drugs, which help finance terrorism. These networks often involve cross-border collaborations with organized crime groups.
3. Local and International Donations: Extremist groups often receive funding from sympathizers within Mozambique and abroad. This funding can come in the form of direct financial support or through seemingly legitimate businesses acting as fronts for laundering money.
4. Weak Financial Oversight: Mozambique has struggled with financial oversight and regulatory enforcement, making it easier for illicit funds to flow undetected. Corruption within the government and financial institutions exacerbates this issue.
5. Informal Economy: A significant portion of Mozambique’s economy is informal, which means many transactions are unregulated and unmonitored, providing a fertile ground for terrorist financing activities.
Efforts to combat terrorism financing in Mozambique must include:
- Strengthening Financial Regulations: Implementing and enforcing stricter financial oversight and anti-money laundering (AML) laws.
- International Cooperation: Collaborating with neighboring countries and international organizations to track and dismantle smuggling networks.
- Resource Control: Securing and regulating the extraction and trade of natural resources to prevent their exploitation by terrorist groups.
- Addressing Root Causes: Investing in local development to address the underlying socio-economic issues that fuel extremism, such as poverty and unemployment.
- Capacity Building: Enhancing the capabilities of local law enforcement and financial institutions to detect and prevent illicit financial activities.
Last Sunday, the Bank of Mozambique started printing new bank notes to rig a fake 2024 election because the president of Mozambique is involved in the VTB Russia scandal. As you can see FRELIMO funded Russia, China and North Korea with Western money, USD21 Billion.
Mozambicans are not terrorists, FRELIMO has been in power for 50 years, it's all happening on their watch and Mozambicans are fed up with the leaders and investors.
