The
Joint Rwanda and Mozambique security Forces have captured new terrorist
hideouts in Nhica do Ruvuma and Pundanhar general areas west of Palma District.
The
terrorists fled the new positions towards Muidube District inside the SAMIM
designated sectors of responsibility.
In

insurgents on-the-run. Among the rescued were women and children while two

He informed them that the Ansar sunna Wa Jammah (ASWJ) terrorists were seriously weakened by the joint forces actions but cautioned them to remain vigilant at all times.
