Mozambique’s government has deployed soldiers to the central province of Sofala to assassinate opposition leader Afonso Dhlakama, a spokesman for his Mozambique National Resistance party said.

“The government is sending troops to Sofala and the unique reason we see is to kill Afonso Dhlakama,” spokesman Fernando Mazanga told reporters today in Maputo, the capital. Calls to President Armando Guebuza’s office seeking comment weren’t immediately answered.
