Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>FRelimo, the party in power in Mozambique, defended today that the disarmament of the armed wing of Renamo, opposition party, should end before the October municipal elections, so that the guerrillas are not \u201cused\u201d as an instrument of pressure in the ballot.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want this process to take place before the municipal elections, because, often, the residual armed Renamo men are used as an assault vehicle for the elections\u201d, said Se\u0301rgio Pantie, head parliamentary bench of the Front for the Liberation of Mozambique (Frelimo), party in power, in the Assembly of the Republic.<\/p>\n

Pantie was speaking during the closing speech of the seventh session of the ninth legislature of parliament.<\/p>\n

In this sense, he signaled the commitment of the President of the Republic, Filipe Nyusi, and the leader of the Mozambican National Resistance (Renamo), Ossufo Momade, to work towards the closure of the last base of the armed wing of the movement in June.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are now pleased that the process of Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration [DDR] of Renamo guerrillas is moving towards its end, with the closure of its last base in Gorongosa, in Sofala province, in June next\u201d, highlighted the head of the Frelimo parliamentary group.<\/p>\n

In turn, the leader of the Renamo bench, Viana Magalha\u0303es, defended that the end of the DDR process should not be used to violate democratic rules in Mozambique.<\/p>\n

\u201cSigning several peace agreements is not enough, when the genesis of the problems remains inert. The DDR should not be used as a way to silence Mozambicans, to trample on the essence of democracy\u201d, emphasized Magalha\u0303es.<\/p>\n

The head of the parliamentary bench of the main opposition party alluded to an apparent risk of the Government using the disarmament of Renamo\u2019s armed wing for political repression of the opposition and of voices critical of the country\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n

Mozambique has municipal elections on October 11.<\/p>\n

Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi said on the 23rd at the United Nations Security Council in New York that the last base of Renamo\u2019s armed wing should close in June, later starting payment of pensions to former guerrillas.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe final phase of disarmament, demobilization and reintegration could end next June with the closure of the last Renamo base\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

The DDR is part of the Peace and National Reconciliation Agreement signed in 2019 by the Mozambican Government and Renamo.<\/p>\n
