MOZ GOVT ACCUSED OF VIOLATING ACCORD

MOZAMBIQUE’S former rebel leader Afonso Dhlakama said President Joaquim Chissano will be responsible for whatever happens should police attempt to disarm guards at his home. His statements come two days after Mozambique police in the central port city of Beira seized 18 firearms, ammunition and military radios in raids on the homes of several Renamo members. Dhlakama accused Chissano of having a hidden political agenda. “He should tell us whether he wants politics or a resumption of war because we are ready for either option.” – AFP
