MOZAMBIQUE-POLITICS-RENAMO-REBELS-PEACE

Armed rebels stand guard as leader of former Mozambican rebel movement Renamo turned opposition party chief, Afonso Dhlakama gives a press conference on April 10, 2013 in Gorongosa's mountains, Mozambique. Afonso Dhlakama, twenty years after agreeing to peace, is ready to take up weapons again unless the ruling Frelimo party agrees to renegotiate peace terms. Mozambique's government will meet a delegation from the ex-rebel group Renamo today, an official said, amid threats of violence that echo the country's brutal civil war.The meeting follows deadly attacks last week between the former civil war foes in the central province of Sofala, where seven people were killed including police officers.Tensions between Renamo and the Frelimo-led government escalated last year, after the group's leader Afonso Dhlakama set up camp in the Gorongosa mountains, retraining former guerrilla fighters. They are demanding the government renegotiate the terms of a 1992 peace accord. Renamo waged a16-year civil war against Frelimo that devastated the economy until peace was signed in 1992 .
