The fifth round of talks between the Mozambican government and the opposition party Renamo, intended to end Renamo’s insurrection, began on 14 November with both sides delivering their answers to the proposal on decentralisation made by the international mediating team at the end of the fourth round.
As happened throughout the fourth round, the government and Renamo did not meet in plenary session. Instead, each delegation met separately with the mediators and handed over their counter-proposals.
The coordinator of the mediating team, European Union representative Mario Raffaelli, refused to give any details about the counter-proposals, merely saying that details will be provided during a joint meeting between the mediators and both delegations. No date has been fixed for such a meeting. – AIM.
