EFTA_R1_01377401 EFTA02372882 Commissioner for Malawi's Mwanza district, Gift Rapozo, told The Associated Press Monday that about 700 Mozambicans fled into the country two weeks ago and more are crossing the border to escape fighting between the Mozambican army and fighters loyal to the opposition party Renamo. Mozambican Agriculture Minister Jose Pacheco, who is the government's chief negotiator with Renamo, said Renamo fighters carried out two attacks in northern Tete province, violating a peace agreement signed last year before the general elections. Renamo's chief negotiator, Simon Macuiane said the government must provide proof of the attacks. Renamo and Frelimo signed a peace accord in September last year.
