Mozambique: Renamo Will Continue to Pursue Peace, Says Momade

Maputo — The newly elected President of Mozambique's main opposition party, the former rebel movement Renamo, Ossufo Momade, declared on Thursday that Renamo is committed to peace and will lay down its weapons in order to join the national development agenda.

In his first speech as President of Renamo, Momade told the delegates and guests to the Renamo Congress in the central district of Gorongosa "We don't want war. Our late leader Afonso Dhlakama taught us that war only holds back development. We are in favour of peace, and we want a country where people move around and work freely".
