CLOUDS OF FEAR ABOUT TO LIFT IN MOZAMBIQUE:Dhlakama bent on holdings talks with the gorvenment again.
Renamo presdent,Mr Afonso Dhlakama said that despite the recent attempt on his
life, he will not abandon his quest for
peace, democracy and development in
Mozambique, and has decided
to accept the invitation to talks with presdent Philipe Nyussi. The head of the largest opposition party
in the country said at a press conference
in Manica province, central Mozambique,
that he had already sent in word the
agenda points he intended to discuss with
Mr Nyussi. He added that these topics were
conveyed to the president by former
head of state Mr Joaquim Chissano, who he
talked to at the celebrations of the 20th
anniversary of the Catholic University of
Mozambique in Beira last week. "I told Chissano to tell the president I am
willing participate in dialogue as long as there is a
concrete agenda that creates
governmental rotation in the country,
and not just to shake his hand for him to
convince the world that that there is stability in the country,
when in reality there is not. But the thing
is evolving quite a lot and I believe that
soon we can make known something,"
Dhlakama said. The announcement of the meeting
between President Nyusi and the
Renamo leader occurs at a time when
confrontations between the The Renamo
party and government forces were being
reported. Speaking to DW Africa, Frelimo
spokes man and provincial head of
Mobilization and Propaganda in Manica,
António Mainato, said that, given that
the peace is not personal but belongs to
24 million Mozambicans, the dialogue between the two parties should not be
imposed. "Renamo needs to show it is committed
to peace in the country, putting concrete
actions into practice," concluded
Mr Mainato. At his recent rallies, the Renamo leader
gave positive assessments of his party's
political activities, wich have as their
main focus the announcement of new
governments in the provinces where it
considers itself to have had a majority in the last multi-party elections. Dhlakama and Nyusi met twice in early
2015 to discuss the political crisis in
Mozambique emerging from Renamo's
refusal to recognize the results of the
October 2014 general election. Since
then, Dhlakama has demanded governance in the provinces where he
says his party won the elections,
threatening o to seize power
by force if necessary.
