]]> Mozambique President Arnmando Guebuza’s signed a ceasefire with a rebel leader who took up arms 20 years after ending a civil war that brought the country to its knees.

Afonso Dhlakama returned to Maputo for the first time in two years to ink the agreement.

Afonso Dlakama returned to the bush claiming he was being politically marginalised.

By attacking traffic on the main north south thoroughfare his Renamo movement struck at the heart of Mozambique’s tourism sector.

Dhalakama says he’ll contest next month’s elections when Guebuza stands down having run his constitutional course at the helm.

Former Defence Minister Felipe Nyusi’s due to succeed him.

The former rebel leader has lost every poll he’s contested these past 20 years.

Renamo could actually lose its place as the official opposition.
