Danger of a bloodbath

Police in the city of Nampula's arms at the ready, waiting for stalling negotiations ensures that the corporation is under way with members of Renamo in order to return an individual to freedom, emanates Buantão (46 years), imprisoned in the premises of the party. " If negotiations fail, the police resort to the use of force under the Act conceives of the State institutions, to rescue the citizen concerned, "said Ignatius have Dina, spokesman for police in Nampula. Until yesterday, the delegation of police had not yet been received by the counter-party Renamo, a situation that is beginning to annoy the police. As a result of the apparent indifference of Renamo in solving the case, police in Nampula have requested reinforcements from Maputo, from where the elements designated Special Operations Force, who joined the Rapid Intervention Force and the Police Patrol, the cinzentinhos. In official terms, Renamo has not yet ruled on the matter, but it is known that emanates Buantão is accused of spying, after having tried to find information, on Friday last week, with the former Renamo guerrillas, concentrated near the provincial delegation of the party in Nampula. Immediately Buantão, who is resident in the neighborhood of Namicopo, Nampula city, was taken by force to one of the compartments of the premises of Renamo, where never came out. The former Renamo guerrillas who are in the city of Nampula since December last year, as part of an initiative to "revolt" in order to take peaceful Frelimo's power, are in number 400, being in a street called "fearless "and many others in the Rua das Flores, residence of Afonso Dhlakama. But only the safety of Afonso Dhlakama is that it is armed with weapons of war behind green uniforms and caps brownish. It is fearless men, apparently prepared for any military action. This has been evident even when, by two arteries of the city which is the seat of Renamo and at the residence of party leader. The elements of the police force, they also heavily armed, are the target of insults and threats, to gun barrels pointed at itself. The response of police officers has been indifference, without orders supposed to react to such provocations. This is the scenario in which the townspeople of Nampula suspect an imminent 'bath' in the blood called the Northern Capital. Just over a week, Afonso Dhlakama has met with the demobilized guerrillas, probably to devise strategies on the much-touted peaceful demonstration which aims to take the Frelimo's power. That meeting took place in a alturaem that Dhlakama was allegedly identified as having betrayed the interests of Renamo, for a possible postponement of the rally "peaceful."
