The Southern African Development Community has been considering its budget limitations, Mozambique's foreign minister said, and added that the bloc believes Mozambique is relatively stable compared to eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, which has been wracked by armed groups for decades. Mozambique's President Filipe Nyusi said SADC’s plans to withdraw its forces by July did not mean the nation's fight against jihadist groups would stop. (Source)
