Mozambique: Renamo Threatens to Block Road and Rail Traffic in the Center of Mozambique

20 June 2013

Renamo, the largest opposition party in Mozambique, announced on Wednesday, June 19, 2013, that it will prevent road traffic between the Save river and Muxúnguè, and rail traffic in Beira-Moatize and Beira-Marromeu in the Sofala Province. Their claim is to impede the transport of arms and military equipment to the Gorongosa region where the party's leader Afonso Dhlakama is based.

At the same time, Renamo will strengthen the radius of region protection to safeguard the security of its leader, and ban all movements of the rapid intervention Force (FIR). "Renamo forces will be positioned to prevent the movement of vehicles carrying people and goods, because the Government uses these vehicles to carry arms and military personnel in plainclothes, to concentrate in the vicinity of Satungira and attack the President Afonso Dhlakama," said Jerónimo Malagueta, information head of that party.
