Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Renamo, the largest Mozambican opposition party, denounced on Monday the alleged murder of a party delegate who had been demobilised under the peace agreements, considering it a \u201csevere blow\u201d to the disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration (DDR) process.<\/p>\n

According to the Mozambican National Resistance (Renamo), Rafael Miguel, a political delegate in central Mozambique, was taken \u201cby force into a vehicle\u201d on 30 January by \u201cthree masked people\u201d allegedly \u201cdressed in uniforms of the Mozambican Rapid Intervention Force\u201d, party spokesman Jose Manteigas told a press conference.<\/p>\n

The party said the delegate had been killed and his body burned \u201cwith three tyres\u201d by alleged \u201cdeath squads\u201d, like others at the service of the \u201cpower of the day\u201d and to which it has attributed similar crimes in the past with the aim of silencing its members or \u201cthose who think differently\u201d.<\/p>\n

The death of Rafael Miguel \u201cseriously\u201d affected the other demobilised guerrillas, he added, noting that the crime had generated suspicion about the \u201cgenuine will\u201d of the government of the Mozambique Liberation Front (Frelimo) to \u201ccontinue with the demobilisation process\u201d in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis barbaric murder represents a heavy blow to the DDR process and the collective effort to constitute an effective peace and a true national reconciliation,\u201d the Renamo spokesman said.<\/p>\n

The party filed a complaint with the police, calling for \u201ca rapid clarification of the crime and accountability of the perpetrators\u201d and launched an appeal to President Filipe Nyusi to \u201corder the immediate cessation of these criminal acts perpetrated by agents of the state who should guarantee the security of citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe call on Mozambican society and the international community to unreservedly condemn the maintenance in the country of death squads that represent a strong threat to plural coexistence,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n

The DDR process, in which the closure of the last base was postponed in December, is part of the Peace and National Reconciliation Agreement, signed on 06 August 2019 between the Mozambican head of state, Filipe Nyusi, and Renamo leader Ossufo Momade.<\/p>\n

The understanding was the third between the Mozambique Liberation Front (Frelimo) government and the main opposition force, all signed following cycles of armed violence between the two parties.<\/p>\n

Under the agreement, of the total of 5,221 guerillas to be covered, around 4,700 (90%) have handed in their weapons, some of whom have been incorporated into the Mozambican Defence and Security Forces.<\/p>\n
