00:00 I think to say that operations like this are costly is more or less saying the obvious.
00:12 They are very costly, absolutely.
00:18 But even more costly is allowing a situation to continue the way it was without doing anything
00:30 about it.
00:32 That is tens of times more costly than the operations themselves.
00:40 In fact, allowing that situation to continue costs more lives, more money lost, all future
00:56 lost really in terms of development if you allowed a situation like that to continue
01:04 as was the case before the operations.
01:08 Now to the operations themselves, I think they've been largely successful, but they
01:20 also show what we can do, what we are able to do even within our limited resources.
01:31 Mozambique and Rwanda working together within our limited resources, we can do this kind
01:43 of thing that speaks for itself.
01:47 Yes, for cooperation with other countries on our continent or in this region, Southern
01:55 Africa or beyond, actually cooperation and partnership over such a kind of situation
02:06 like terrorism that had taken over this smallest province requires or goes beyond, cooperation
02:20 goes beyond just two countries or one sub-region, it should involve.
02:29 What we understand is that it should involve even the rest of the world.
02:37 We work together with the rest of the world, Mozambique, Rwanda, we work together with
02:43 other parts of the world on many other things and that should include this type of operations
02:55 to deal with the insecurity, to deal with the terrorism, to deal with all kinds of instability.
03:02 So cooperation from other countries or regions or parts of the world, we need more, a lot
03:15 more than there has been.
03:19 You can never have too much cooperation.
03:23 Maybe you can just have too little, but never too much.
03:28 I think we need more cooperation and we will keep working together.
03:33 But the point person in this case is really the President of Mozambique.
03:40 This is Mozambique, this is the President and Cabo Delgado is part of Mozambique.
03:47 So I think the Mozambicans lead the way in helping all of us to come together to deal
04:01 with this situation.
