3:16 CAT | 22 Aug 2016

The attacks perpetrated by armed Renamo men on civilian and government targets in Niassa province are aimed at causing panic and stealing food, according to Gonçalves Joaquim Rule, one of the 13 combatants captured during a failed attack carried out in the early hours of last Saturday morning on the administrative post of Muaquia, Majune district, Niassa province.

Rule, who was injured in the incident, said that his group is the same one responsible for attacks on the village of Muapula and the administrative posts of Maiaca and Nakhumua in Maua and Metarica districts respectively.

The attacks, which all took place in the space of a month, saw armed Renamo men raid health units and steal drugs, and vandalise local secretariat the and administrative posts buildings.

Majune administrator Antonio Guido told the press that armed action against the Muaquia administrative post was foiled because the PRM unit positioned there was in a state of readiness as a result of the population reporting suspicious movements in the days immediately preceding the attack.
