Mozambique: Pupils Affected By Renamo Relocated to Other Schools

Maputo — Children forced by the militia of the rebel movement Renamo to abandon their schools in the central Mozambican province of Manica are being relocated, as far as possible, to other schools, according to Education Minister Jorge Ferrao.

Speaking in the provincial capital, Chimoio, Ferrao said the pupils are being enrolled into alternative classes in schools located in areas where the Renamo gunmen are not active.
