Significance
The proposed support reflects both European strategic energy interests in the region, and the continuing challenge presented by the insurgency.
Impacts
Internally displaced persons will soon exceed 1 million, straining public services and community relations, particularly in the south.
Securing areas vital to the LNG project while failing to contain the insurgency elsewhere will hurt the ruling Frelimo party politically.
A continuing insurgency may see local authorities and business interests negotiate security agreements with insurgents at local levels.
