The Troika proper comprises Botswana, Zimbabwe, which was the previous chair of the organ and South Africa, which is the next chair.

In a statement on Tuesday, the SADC secretariat said the region was:

… deeply concerned about the continued terrorist attacks in Cabo Delgado, especially for the lives and welfare of the residents who continue to suffer from the atrocious, brutal and indiscriminate assaults.

The insurgents who claim affiliation to the Islamic State (IS) began their terrorist activities in 2017.

The war captured global media attention when the terrorists attacked Palma, a coastal town of more than 100 000 people in Cabo Delgado Province on 24 March.

The town is near a US$60 billion gas project being developed by French energy giant Total.
