Naona safari za nje na nyota ya Rais mstaafu wa awamu ya nne inazidi kung'aa,kwa mujibu wa mtandao mmoja wa Mozambique,serikali ya Msumbiji imemualika katika mzungumzo ya kutafuta amani huko msumbiji kati ya Serikali ya nchi hiyo inayoongoza nchi chini ya chama tawala FRELIMO na Chama cha Upinzani RENAMO. Waalikwa wengine ni Rais mstaafu wa Botswana na mwakilishi toka taasisi/mfuko wa Tony Blair waziri mkuu wa zamani wa Uingereza. Makubaliano ya kuwaalika wasuluhishi hao yalifikiwa baina ya serikali ya nchi hiyo na RENAMO.Hivi sasa Kikwete anapigiwa chapuo kuchukua nafasi ya uenyekiti wa tume ya Afrika.
Govt invites Kikwete, Masire & Blair’s Foundation to join Mozambique peace talks – Zitamar
According to the Zitamar news website, the Mozambican government “has proposed a further three outside mediators to take part in peace talks with armed opposition party Renamo, in addition to the three mediators invited on the insistence of Renamo”.
They are Jakaya Kikwete, former president of Tanzania, Quett Masire, former president of Botswana, and an un-named personage from former British prime minister’s Tony Blair Foundation.
Invitations have been sent last week to the European Union, the Catholic church and the South African government, whose representatives, which Afonso Dhlakama had said were to arrive in Maputo yesterday, are not known so far, reported O País on Monday.
Meanwhile, State News Agency AIM, has reported on Friday, June 17, that “the joint commission set up by the Mozambican government and by the rebel movement Renamo to prepare a face-to-face meeting between President Filipe Nyusi and Renamo leader Afonso Dhlakama proposed on Friday that observers should witness the talks seeking to re-establish effective peace in the country.”
According to the same source, “Speaking to reporters after the end of the fifth session of the joint commission, on June 17, the head of the Renamo team, Jose Manteigas, said there was consensus over the introduction of observers into the dialogue.”
“It is the understanding of the joint commission that observers could be invited into this process”, said Manteigas. “There are two figures – the figure of facilitators (mediators), and the figure of observers”.
Up until Thursday, June 16, the government had opposed involving foreign mediators or observers in a dispute between Mozambicans, reported AIM, adding that, at a rally in the southern city of Matola on Thursday, June 16, Nyusi had announced the reversal of this policy.
“If the problem is to have somebody else present while we are discussing, then let Dhlakama come with whoever he likes, and we will talk so that he ends the attacks”, Nyusi said. “Let him come with these people, and we shall see what will happen. I am ready”, said the President, cited by AIM.
In late May, the Mozambican government and Renamo resumed negotiations on the political and military crisis in Mozambique, the main opposition party having abandoned dialogue with the executive in late 2015 on the grounds of lack of progress.
Mozambique experienced a worsening of political violence in recent months, with clashes between Renamo and defence and security forces and mutual accusations of abduction and assassination of party members, and attacks on military and civilian targets in the centre of the country attributed by the authorities to the opposition’s armed wing
