Disgusted mediators yesterday said the Renamo-government talks have failed.
Father Filipe Couto, speaking for all the mediators after the 104th session Monday, said “we lack the courage to admit that we do not have the energy to go forward and there is no chance to solve the problems.
“In this case, only two people have the solutions, namely, the President of Republic, Filipe Nyusi and the Renamo leader Afonso Dhlakama.”
In particular, “in these talks you will never reach agreement” on the military and demobilisation, he told the negotiators. The international observation team which was supposed to oversee demobilisation, EMOCHM, ends its mandate Friday and will leave the country.
“The creation of EMOCHM accomplished nothing,” Couto said.
He also said that removing parties from the state apparatus “is not a monopoly of Frelimo and Renamo” and “must be discussed by all the parties in parliament”, which includes the MDM.
