Africa-Press – Mozambique. The Mozambican parliament has just definitively approved the increase from two to five years in the minimum period of military service, a change that the government considers necessary for the professionalisation and retention of military personnel in the armed forces.
The change results from the proposed revision of the Military Service Law. The document was approved by the ruling party, Frelimo, which has a sizeable parliamentary majority. The Democratic Movement of Mozambique (MDM) and Renamo voted against.
The revision to the Military Service Law establishes an increase from two to five years in the minimum period of service in the general troops and from two to six years in the special forces.
