AfricaPress-mozambique:<\/strong> Mozambique\u2019s main opposition party, Renamo, on Thursday urged the government to identify military strategies capable of pushing the terrorists in the northern province of Cabo Delgado onto a defensive position until their final defeat by the country\u2019s defence and security forces.<\/p>\n

The appeal was made by Renamo leader, Ossufo Momade, at a press conference in the party\u2019s Maputo headquarters, prior to the 46th anniversary of Mozambican Independence on Friday. He strongly condemned \u201cthe bellicose and murderous actions\u201d of the Cabo Delgado terrorists and of the self-styled \u201cRenamo Military Junta\u201d in Sofala and Manica provinces.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are aware of the deep sacrifices made by the young men serving in the army and we would like to express our appreciation for the suffering they are bearing, without knowing why they are fighting,\u201d Momade said.<\/p>\n

He also reaffirmed his party\u2019s commitment to the Disarmament, Demobilisation and Reintegration (DDR) drive underway across the country. He claimed Renamo was \u201cunreservedly\u201d committed to the demobilisation of its \u201cresidual force\u201d, as \u201can unequivocal sign of its pledge to promote peace and national reconciliation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Assessing the country\u2019s path since gaining independence in 1975, the opposition leader lamented that 46 years later, Mozambicans still lack social benefits such as decent housing, or access to clean drinking water.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the last 46 years, the number of unemployed people has been growing, affecting mainly young men, who end up adopting risky means for survival because they have no other opportunities,\u201d he said. He added the manifestly untrue claim that only \u201cthe children of the nomenclatura (meaning the leaders of the ruling Frelimo party)\u201d can obtain jobs.<\/p>\n

Momade also regretted that, after several peace deals, Mozambicans still live in an environment of intimidation, in which business people are threatened class and are expressly ordered not to host opposition members and supporters even when they pay for the service.<\/p>\n

Much of the speech recycled Renamo\u2019s familiar rewriting of recent Mozambican history, in which all the country\u2019s problems are blamed on the supposed \u201cdictatorship\u201d which Frelimo set up after independence in 1975, and nothing is said of Renamo\u2019s own role as an instrument, first of the Ian Smith regime in what was then Rhodesia, and later of apartheid South Africa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
