Threat to Tete coal

摘要

Recent violence by former rebel group Renamo has resulted in the suspension of some coal rail transports, generating fears of renewed violence in Mozambique. Backed by the white supremacist governments of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and South Africa, Renamo fought a long bloody civil war against Maputo that ended in 1992. It has since converted itself into a political party but failed to gain power and has now asked for changes to the new electoral law. Mozambican elections are widely considered to be generally free and fair.
