Mozambique's government and Renamo sign truce

The government of Mozambique has signed a ceasefire with the Renamo opposition party in a bid to end hostilities ahead of elections in October. 

The deal follows two years of low-level clashes between armed members of Renamo and government forces. 

Last year, Renamo withdrew from a peace deal signed more than 20 years earlier which had ended a protracted civil war.
