WHAT AFONSOS DHLAKAMA'S WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PUBLIC AND MEDIA MAY MEAN.

Afonso Dhlakama's absence from public and media
space, since last Friday (25),
after the fatal attack on the
National Road Number Six
(EN6) in Zimpinga in Gondola district, Manica province,
follows one supposedly of moving
artillery to Gorongosa by the
Defence and Security Forces
(FDS), similar to what
happened between 2013 and 2014, with the clashes that
ended with the signing of the
Termination of the
Armed Hostilities Agreement, which was
practically thrown into the garbage bin because of dissatisfaction of one of the
parties, Renamo.

Gradually a gaining
consistency is the information
that the Government is
very concerned about
the "disappearance" of the
leader of "Partridge" and for this to be considered a threat
to the longed-for peace - not
just a political buzzword - is
preparing for possible
military incursion that may come from Dhlakama, from Sathungira,
where he is, according to
what has been said,
especially in Sofala and
military ranks.

Another fact, still on Dhlakama,
indicates that he was wounded
in the lower limbs during that
ambush; however, António
Muchanga, spokesman for this
political formation, says their leader is "is well and in good
health," but does not say in
which specific place is. On the
health of the leader of
"Partridge" many things were being said during the last military
conflict which officially ended
in September 2014.During that period he was even given as dead.

After the assault on the
Renamo base in October 2013,
led by Filipe Nyusi that at that time defense minister,
Dhlakama plunged into Mount Gorongosa, and that place was plunged into intense daily and
deadly battles. The populations
of the communities living
around prepared to escape
until one day they actually left their
homes. Actual human and material damage of this
tragedy are unknown to this
day. At the speed at which things
are, as a result of lack of
understanding between the
government and Renamo,puts Mozambique on the verge
of another war.

The political and military
tension that persists in the
country is a reflection of the
that the problems between Renamo
and the Government
are far from being resolved. In fact, on September 5, 2014,
when the former President of
the Republic, Armando
Guebuza and Dhlakama signed
a peace agreement in Maputo,
after several "datings" failed, it was clear that the agreement
did not necessarily put an end
to violence, but yes, opened
the way for the holding of
general elections that were
already scheduled for 15 October of the same year. As
well as fears, there were many
warnings that if the Dhlakama did not succeed in
the process it would trigger a new war.

The "future of hope, between
brothers," if each assume
"their responsibilities and
commitments are respected
day-to-day through words and acts"
that Dhlakama spoke that day before the hugs and
handshakes with Guebuza,
seem to smudge up. Arrogance
and weapons tend to speak
louder than words and / or
dialogue

"Today is a very important day
for our people, who waited
patiently, knowing that the
solutions of our problems went
through dialogue", Guebuza
said, but actually all this, today, is nothing but a lie to the
climate of uncertainty facing the
country.

Meanwhile, the driver of the
minibus shot dead in EN6 in an
attack attributed to the Renamo party by the government
and its military forces, was
called Carlos Quipiço Guihole, father of a former Mozambican
international athlete identified
by the name of Argentina's
da Gloria, now rooted in Italy,
according to the Diario de
Mozambique.
