There is no single thing that can stop this country from attaining development and welfare of its citizens,” he said.

The signing of the agreement between Renano and the government of Mozambique was attended by the different African heads of state including President Paul Kagame, Cyril Ramaphosa, Edgar Lungu, Hage Geingob, AU Secretary General Mousa Faki Mahamat, former Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete and others.
The attempt to sign a similar peace deal was tried in 1992 but later rescinded in 2013 when the government forces shot on militia’s encampment.
