Description

Former Botswana President, Sir Ketumile Masire, nominated by the London-based Global Leadership Foundation to mediate in the on and off Mozambican Peace Talks, started his mission on Monday last week, to facilitate negotiations to end the low-level war between the armed opposition and the government of President Felipe Nyusi.
