Renamo inks deal with government

Mozambique rebel group Renamo and the Frelimo-led government concluded a ceasefire deal on Sunday night, ending two years of armed conflict.

Negotiators from the government and Renamo finalised the declaration at talks in the capital Maputo following a year of negotiations.
Renamo forces have waged a low-level armed struggle since party leader Afonso Dhlakama returned to the bush in 2012, two decades after signing a peace accord with Frelimo.
Suspected Renamo members have been attacking buses, lorries and cars on the main north-south highway since April last year.
The late-night declaration came after the two sides reached a general peace agreement a week ago, including consensus over the integration of Renamo’s remaining armed forces into state security forces.
