Rwandan troops are to continue the fight against Islamist militants in Mozambique, following an agreement between the two countries to extend their mandate.
Around 1,000 troops were sent by Rwanda last July at a time when jihadists were carrying out widespread attacks and seizing towns in the northern Cabo Delgado province.
The deployment led to some success against the militants but attacks and kidnappings are still frequent, correspondents say.
Thirty hostages were rescued this week in Nangade district, authorities in Mozambique say, thanks to a joint operation by the army and troops from other southern African countries.
