Meanwhile, Dhlakama, met last week with foreign ambassadors in Maputo to explain to them RENAMO’s view on the clashes between the police and RENAMO demonstrators on 8 November. Saturday’s issue of the daily paper ‘Noticias’, quoted Dhlakama’s political advisor Agostinho Ussore as saying that the RENAMO leader gave the ambassadors a detailed explanation of how he saw the current situation in Mozambique, which he described as “critical”.
