The Mozambican opposition
leader Afonso Dhlakama,who had been silent for the past two months said he will leave after Christmas the unknown place where he is and rule the center and north of the country.
The president of Renamo (Mozambique National Resistance) made the pronounciation by phone during a meeting of the Youth League of his party held in Maputo on 30 November,and whose recording was broadcast on the
Mozambican press and social networks.
"We will not make war,I promise, we will spend well the festivities of the Christmas season and then we will take hold," said Afonso Dhlakama,referring to his party's initiative to govern in the provinces where claims election victory,in the center and north of the country, through a model of provincial authorities already rejected by the majority Frelimo (Mozambique
Liberation Front) in parliament.
In his just over seven-minute speech,the leader of Renamo referred precisely to the timely revision project of the Constitution to accommodate the provincial authorities,and on November 30 received a negative opinion of the specialized committees of Parliament and was formally rejected at a plenary session of the legislature on Monday.
Nevertheless,Dhlakama said he will not back down and that his party will be sworn in the six provinces in order to correct what he claims to have been a fraud in the general elections of October 15, 2014,officially won by Frelimo.
"If necessary we will take Maputo
too'',he threatened,referring to the capital of the country and out of the list of territories that the party aims to govern.
Today marks two months since the Renamo leader has not been seen in public after the defense and security forces surroundend his residence in Beira,on 09 October,in an operation to seize weapons collection in possession of the personal guard of Dhlakama.
In the message to the meeting of the Youth League,the opposition leader said that "the danger has passed"and justified his long silence .
"I'm preparing myself to force the government of Frelimo to fall once and for all'',Dhlakama said returning the appeal to respect the Comprehensive Peace Agreement,which ended in 1992 the civil war in Mozambique.
"If the Agreement of Rome has
expired,democracy is expired.",said Afonso Dhlakama.
Insisting he does not want war,the leader of the largest opposition party said that his party will take power in the central and northern provinces"without bloodshed",but advised the authorities not to respond or they"will get a beating"
and that if they put tanks on the streets,"Renamo will destroy everything."
No information on the whereabouts of Dhlakama has been confirmed or denied by the party which ensures that their leader is "very good of health and has worked for the enrichment of democracy in the country."
However the offive of the leader of the Renamo office told Lusa Dhlakama has an upcoming press conference soon,but this is not the first time that this has been announced and there has been no achievement to date.
The police operation in Beira came a day after the opposition leader had reappeared in the mountains of Gorongosa,after two weeks at large,following two incidents in the province of Manica involving his company in Chibata (September 12) and Zimpinga (September 25),where the authorities say killed 25 Renamo men.
After the siege of Beira,the defense and security forces began a compulsory collection of firearms held by Renamo,which ended in clashes in some regions,but in the meantime suspended by Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi to make room for dialogue .
Afonso Dhlakama also had been at large for 17 months after state forces took by storm the Renamo base at Sadjundjira (Gorongosa) and dislodge it on October 21, 2013.He reappeared for signing of the Agreement of Terminatioion of
military hostilities,on September 5, 2014, with the outgoing President, Armando Guebuza.
