Significance
The troops arrived amid delays in the deployment of a planned Southern African Development Community (SADC) intervention force and uncertainties over how the different military initiatives will align.
Impacts
Foreign military intervention and investments in counter-insurgency will reinforce the ruling FRELIMO party.
Factional infighting within FRELIMO over who should succeed President Felipe Nyusi will increase.
The peace process with RENAMO risks unravelling unless renewed progress can be made quickly.
