Rwanda will start deploying 1,000 soldiers and police officers to Mozambique’s northern Cabo Delgado province on Friday to help the southeast African nation fight an Islamic State-linked insurgency.
The deployment comes at the Mozambique government’s request as it seeks to end a conflict that’s left more than 3,000 people dead and halted Africa’s biggest private investment yet.
