The South African Development Community (SADC) will deploy military special forces to quell terrorist incursions that caused Total to declare force majeure on 26 April and remove all personnel from its $20-billion Mozambique Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) project site on East Africa’s Afungi peninsula. The SADC made the decision at a meeting held 28 and 29 April in Mozambique’s capital of Maputo after representatives of Angola, Botswana, South Africa, Malawi, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe recommended deploying a regional African force of up to 3,000 elite troops to control the insurgents who, since March, have moved ever closer to Total’s Mozambique LNG construction site.
