Mozambican president calls on his citizens to defend peace

Mozambican President Armando Guebuza on Friday urged all Mozambicans to unite in a deep reflection on the role of peace in the struggle against poverty.

Speaking at a religious ceremony in Maputo to mark the 21st anniversary of the peace agreement between the government and the Renamo rebels, signed in Rome on 4 October 1992, Guebuza stressed the use of dialogue as an instrument to overcome disagreements and challenges, and to ensure that the economic and social development of Mozambique can become a reality.

Peace, Guebuza said, should characterise Mozambicans in their daily lives. He praised the role of religious bodies in the defence of peace and national reconciliation, and noted their prayers that the country's politicians should move forward in peace.
