Nampele told reporters in the port city of Mocimboa da Praia on Tuesday that they would soon launch an offensive to rid the area of any insurgents. What we are planning to do is we can begin an offensive attack and at this time, we have elaborated a plan with Rwanda forces. We are informed that the enemy is located in the forests of Catupa, where they are in small groups. So what we are planning right now, first of all, we are trying to prevent them from getting foodstuff. There is no base but just a few groups of terrorists moving in small groups
