MAPUTO (AFP) - A former commander of anti-communist
guerrillas in Mozambique's brutal civil war has established a bush camp with
former fighters, who are demanding a "new political order" for the country, his
party told AFP Friday.
Twenty years after agreeing to lay down arms as part of a
peace agreement with his Marxist Frelimo rivals, Renamo leader Afonso Dhlakama
has decamped to the foothills of a remote mountain range, allies said.
The camp -- thought to house 800 men, some armed -- is close
to the site of a base which Renamo, backed by white-ruled South Africa, used to
fight a bloody 16-year conflict against Frelimo, former rebels against
Portuguese colonialism who took over the country on independence in 1974.
"We want a new political order in Mozambique. We have
already tried dialogue with Frelimo but they don't take it seriously," Renamo MP
Ivone Soares told AFP in the capital Maputo.
Only Dhlakama's personal guard, thought to number around
300, are armed, Soares told AFP.
"We don't want to go back to war. We want Frelimo to give us
equal opportunities."
"We have the right to protect ourselves," she said. However,
she added. "Our people don't need bazookas. They are prepared to use their own
teeth if they are attacked."
Since the signing of the Rome Peace Accord in 1992, ending a
war in which more than million people died, Renamo became the country's main
opposition.
The party holds 51 out of 250 parliamentary seats, but says
it has been left in the cold.
Renamo accuses Frelimo leaders of keeping the spoils of the
country's new-found mineral wealth for itself.
"Frelimo has cells in every area who watch who supports the
opposition and, if you do, you get excluded," Soares complained. "Megaprojects
only benefit Frelimo leader and members."
Until two days ago, Dhlakhama had based himself in the
northern city of Nampula.
Police raided a makeshift camp around his headquarters in
March, killing two people -- the first exchange of fire since the civil war
ended.
Despite a meeting between Dhlakama and his Frelimo rival,
President Armando Guebuza, after the raid, Renamo says its retreat to the bush
is retaliation.
"Frelimo started a war when they attacked us in Nampula. We
did not respond. President Dhlakhama was patient. We have had 20 years of
humiliation in the name of the peace accord. Our position has changed, we want
different rules," Soares told AFP.
"We are always ready to talk. We want peace but we cannot
accept a sick democracy," Soares said adding Dhlakama and his men would remain
in the bush for an "indeterminate period of time."

Thanks for your handy post. Through the years, I have come
to be able to understand that the particular symptoms of mesothelioma are
caused by this build up connected fluid relating to the lining of your lung and
the chest muscles cavity. The sickness may start inside the chest spot
and pass on to other body parts. Other symptoms of pleural mesothelioma include fat reduction, severe inhaling trouble, temperature,
