Gunmen of the Mozambican rebel movement Renamo killed a young child on Thursday morning in an attack against a vehicle in Gorongosa district in the central province of Sofala.
The Gorongosa district administrator, Manuel Jamaca, told Radio Mozambique that the vehicle, belonging to the head of the Canda administrative post, was ambushed on the main north-south, seven kilometres from Canda, as it was returning from Gorongosa town.
A baby carried by its mother died in the attack, and the three other occupants of the vehicle, including the mother and the head of the Canda administrative post, were injured. They were transferred to Beira Central Hospital where they are reeiving medical treatment.
Jamaca said the Gorongosa region is currently relatively calm – but Renamo gunmen are moving through the communities, attacking and torturing local community leaders.
