The President of the Republic, Filipe Nyusi, said yesterday that all Renamo military bases should be closed by the end of the year.

"By the end of 2022, the four remaining Renamo bases may be closed," said the Mozambican head of state, during the opening of the fifth session of the Frelimo Central Committee, which has been taking place since yesterday in the city of Matola.

In the context of the Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration (DDR) of Renamo, the Head of State recalled that 12 of the 16 bases that the armed arm of the main opposition party had already been deactivated.

The Frelimo President also said that 68% of the approximately five thousand Renamo guerrillas have already been demobilized, "are in their homes" and in social reintegration.

Despite the success of the DDR, the government assured that it will continue the dialogue with Renamo in order to preserve peace.

"We maintain that peace, stability, unity and progress should be the supreme interest of all Mozambicans," concluded Filipe Nyusi.

Note that the DDR process falls within the framework of the Peace and Reconciliation Agreement signed between the Frelimo government and Renamo in August 2019.
