Verification – 2017
2017
EMOCHM concluded activities in 2015.
Advisory groups working on decentralization and military matters were established as part of the verification process. The decentralization working group included members from the government (Albano Macie and Eduardo Chiziane) and RENAMO (Saimone Macuiana and Maria Joaquina). The military working group included government members Gen Armando Panguene and Col Ismael Mangueira, as well as RENAMO members Andre Magibire and Leovilgildo Buanancasso.[1] A Contact Group comprising international actors was established in March 2017 that included ambassadors from Switzerland, the USA, China, the European Union, Norway, and the High Commissioners of Botswana and the United Kingdom. The Contact Group would advise and provide technical support to the decentralization and military working groups.[2]
No further details are available at the beginning of the verification process that the working groups and the Contact Group carried out.
