		Renamo's depredations, exacerbated by cycles of drought and flood and by Frelimo's unsuccessful economic policies, led to massive social dislocation and economic collapse.

		Although RENAMO agreed that Mozambique would continue to be governed by the Chissano Government until multiparty elections were held, RENAMO continued to assert the right to control certain areas they claimed to have occupied prior to the signing of the Rome Accord.
		RENAMO complained that it was consistently mistreated in the government-run media, whose bias was evident in skewed stories and emphasis on the negative.
		In practice, RENAMO territory is not freely accessible to journalists, or any other outsiders, and a few Mozambican journalists, who had given no advance notice of their trips, were turned away at the borders of RENAMO-controlled areas.

		RENAMO in turn reported a rise of attacks against its supporters and provided Human Rights Watch with a list which could not be verified.

		Thus the vote tabulation in the provinces was repeatedly delayed by Renamo boycotts and sabotage, including Renamo officials disappearing with keys to warehouses where electoral materials were stored.
		The only Renamo member present at the ceremony was Dhlakama's election agent, Francisco Machambisse, who told reporters "these were the worst elections ever held in Mozambique".
		The likelihood of Renamo accepting the results is minimal, since Dhlakama, over a week ago, demanded that these elections be scrapped and new ones be held.

		Renamo claims that its guerrillas regularly make cross-border raids against Zimbabwean army posts and that it has formed an "alliance" with a dissident Zimbabwean political group headed by the Rev. Ndabaningi Sithole, once an influential Zimbabwean politician.
		Renamo, which has political representatives based in Lisbon and in the Washington offices of the conservative Heritage Foundation, makes no secret of its plans to destabilize Mozambique as long as necessary to bring down the Chissano government.
		Renamo's claim that its guerrillas move freely through four-fifths of the country is undoubtedly exaggerated.

		This Renamo claim is highly specific, against a named individual, and could have been checked: Renamo at central level could have demanded a police inspection of the votes from this station to see if any fingerprints on the ballot papers correspond to the fingerprints of scrutineer Helena.
		Instead, the Renamo national spokesman, Fernando Mazanga, claimed that all the invalid votes, from all 20 polling stations, were fraudulent, and that the indelible ink (used to mark voters' fingers after they have cast their ballots so that they cannot vote again) was the instrument of fraud.
		Renamo's dilemma, as in the general election, was that the fraud was not on a large enough scale to change the result.

		RENAMO this week accused the government of moving police units to Maringue in the central province of Sofala, a RENAMO stronghold where its leader Afonso Dhlakama is based, after clashes between the political rivals in the neighbouring town of Inhaminga.
		Despite the demobilisation of RENAMO troops after the 1992 peace agreement, the party has retained a force of 150 men in Maringue, 150 km northwest of the port city of Beira, on the grounds that it guards Dhlakama's houses.
		Eduard Namburete, RENAMO's election manager, alleged that RENAMO officials had been targets of political intimidation in Inhaminga, and said Dhlakama had announced that he would only demobilise his security force when he was elected president.

		A notable development in 1994 was the collapse of discipline amongst rank and file RENAMO soldiers toward their leadership, reflected in a significant increase in mutinies and in beatings of their senior military leaders.
		RENAMO continued to deny complete free movement in its zones, although this situation had gradually improved throughout 1994.
		RENAMO leader Dhlakama was told that such actions would facilitate his June visit to the U.S. During Dhlakama's visit to the U.S. he met with the Acting Secretary of State for African Affairs at the State Department and Department of Defense officials.

		While the operation was successful, with Renamo leader Afonso Dhlakama barely escaping capture, the offensive appears to have been planned, paradoxically, to emphasise that the war could not be won militarily.
		While, politically, Renamo was very poorly organised, driven largely by the priorities of outside backers, its military superiority in key areas was clear.
		As the risk of Renamo backing out remained the greatest threat to the peace process throughout the Rome talks, the implementation of the peace agreement and the holding of elections, this relationship proved invaluable.

		One of the districts that elected a Renamo candidate was Angonia, in northern Tete Province.
		As Renamo was able to strengthen its grip in the outlying areas, Frelimo became more ruthless in attacking those people who remained in Renamo-held territory as supporters of the insurgents.
		Renamo was quick to exploit this scheme, and together with Frelimo's earlier vision of rural transformation, was perceived as a bona-fide alternative.

		Renamo is increasingly marginalised and without a strategy as it continues to reject the outcome of the December 1999 elections and to boycott political activity.
		Renamo was demanding what Dhlakama called power-sharing ("partilha do poder entre os dois partidos"), including at least the right to appoint governors in the six provinces when they won majorities in the December elections.
		Renamo's failure to re-appoint him as head of the group this year, while keeping him on the AR permanent commission, was seen as a first step in downgrading a potential competitor to Dhlakama.

		The flag of RENAMO (Resistëncia Nacional Moçambicana, the opposition party / army that controls some parts of the country) is horizontal 5:7 blue over red bicolor, with a large (5/7 hoist diameter) white circle placed at the same distance from the hoist and the top and bottom borders.
		Above the table are two small flags: one of the state of Mozambique, the other having a vertical white in the hoist third, and the rest divided horizontally red over fl (similar in arrangement to the flag of Madagascar).
		I thought RENAMO used a flag similar to the flag of Madagascar but with the fl stripe in the place of the green - i.e., white vertical stripe in hoist and two horizontal stripes in fly, red over fl.

	H-Net Review: Elizabeth MacGonagle on Confronting Leviathan: Mozambique Since Independence
		Building on their earlier research, Hall and Young attempt to explain how Renamo grew from a small group of "armed bandits" first supported by Rhodesia into a viable military organization (with South African support) that the Mozambican army was unable to defeat.
		In their analysis of the nature of Renamo and the movement's relationship with people in the countryside, the authors draw on the work of well-known scholars such as Alex Vines, Christian Geffray, William Minter, and Ken Wilson.
		Either credit is given to Frelimo's attempts, and blame is placed on Renamo, or Frelimo's agrarian policies are criticized for alienating the rural population, the very people that leaders claimed to be "transforming." Hall and Young seem to hold a middle position.
