“The War as seen by Renamo: Guerrilla politics and the "move to the North" at the time of the Nkomati Accord (1983-1985)”
The presentation analyses Renamo during the years of 1983 and 1985 on the basis of Renamo’s own radio messages. The text analyses the guerrilla’s organisation and geographical structures, its progression towards the north of the country, and its dynamics after the 1984 Nkomati Accord. The text reveals the strategy and policies of the guerrilla, its logistical difficulties, and its early political work with the population it came into contact with and settled among. Through such analysis, a new image of Renamo appears, more complex and nuanced than presented until now, if not less military.
