AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoMozambique LNG push: ExxonMobil’s Rovuma LNG in Cabo Delgado moves forward as Saipem–McDermott–partners win a letter of intent to build the 18.6 mtpa facilities at Afungi, with work worth $32m and a path toward final investment decision in 2026. Cabo Delgado security & rights: A UN special rapporteur says Mozambique’s fight against IS-linked insurgents is stuck in “offensive defence,” with attacks on civilians rising and displacement continuing—raising pressure on how counter-terrorism is carried out. Maritime & trade risk: Fresh attacks on UAE-linked oil shipping in the Strait of Hormuz underline how fuel-import-dependent African economies, including Mozambique, face higher freight, insurance costs and domestic price pressure when sea lanes get disrupted. Regional integration test: South Africa urges SADC to ratify the stalled protocol on free movement of people, but Mozambique and Zimbabwe resist making migration a standalone summit item—setting up an early test of Pretoria’s industrialisation agenda. Critical minerals: NeoTerra reports 85% gallium extraction from initial Monte Muambe hydrometallurgy testing in northwestern Mozambique, though it says more work is needed to confirm commercial viability. Health systems: A World Bank-backed regional training in Mozambique and neighbours is expanding frontline surveillance to include non-communicable diseases, using a “train-the-trainers” model for mentors.
