RWANDA SECURITY FORCES IN CABO DELGADO REHABILITATE MACOMIA PRIMARY SCHOOL

On 9th March 2026, the Rwanda Security Forces (Task Force Brigade Group 6), operating in Cabo Delgado Province, Mozambique, handed over a block of three rehabilitated classrooms and two offices at Macomia Primary School, which had been left unfinished due to terrorist attacks in Macomia District. The facilities were completed within three months and accommodate 150 pupils.

The ceremony was attended by local administrative authorities from Macomia District, community members, teachers, students from this school, security forces, as well as members of the Rwanda Security Force.

On behalf of the Rwanda Security Forces leadership, Lt Col Frank RWABUGANDE, RSF Head Civil and Military Cooperation, highlighted that the support was provided as part of effort to help promote education for students and to strengthen the collaboration between the Rwanda Security Force and local communities in Mozambique.

“This school is more than a building; rather a symbol of unity and cooperation that present the enduring brotherhood and solidarity between the people of Rwanda and Mozambique. It presents shared commitment to peace, security and stability through unity, development and education,” remarked Lt Col Rwabugande.

He underscored that lasting peace goes beyond military operations and therefore requires empowering communities through the rebuilding of infrastructure, such as schools and markets, to secure a better future for all Mozambican people.

Tomás BADAE, the Administrator of Macomia District, commended the rehabilitation of the school, noting that in previous years the school had not been in use because it had been damaged by terrorist activities. He therefore expressed appreciation to the Rwanda Security Forces for helping to restore confidence among the population.

He urged teachers, parents and students to take good care of the school rehabilitated.
