Mosambik

[Schneemann]

Die Hoffnungen, wonach die Verhandlungen im alten Jahr eine Entspannung bedeuten könnten, scheinen sich bislang noch nicht zu bewahrheiten. Zwar haben sich offenbar keine schwerwiegenden Zusammenstöße ereignet, indessen jedoch scheint die Renamo entlang des strategisch wichtigen N1-Highways (Nord-Süd-Route) zunehmend auf Sabotageakte und kleinere Angriffe auf Fahrzeuge zu setzen...

Mozambique: Renamo Mounts Ambushes

Renamo gunmen launched ambushes on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day on vehicles travelling along Mozambique's main north-south highway, in Sofala province. [...] The most dangerous part of the road is the 100 kilometre stretch between the Save River and Muxungue.

Five people were injured, and were treated at the Muxungue Rural Hospital. According to hospital sources, none of them were seriously injured. Renamo also dug a second trench in the road, which slows down the convoys. [...] Digging trenches across the road was a tactic used by Renamo during the war of destabilisation, and was part of the reason why no vehicles could drive from Maputo to Beira for more than a decade.
