Mozambique

New govt angers former rebels

Mozambique's opposition Renamo party has reacted angrily to the makeup of the government appointed by new President Filipe Nyusi, saying it contradicts his pledge to promote peace. The former rebel movement, led by Afonso Dhlakama, had threatened to form a parallel government in the center and north of the country if Nyusi did not appoint a unity Cabinet. "This is a Frelimo-only government," Renamo spokesman Antonio Muchanga said.
