What does RN stand for?

The signing of the General Peace Agreement in October 1992 in Rome between the Government of the Republic of Mozambique and the Resistencia Nacional Mozambicana (RENAMO) was indicative of the willingness of the Mozambican people to end the scourge of violence of 30 years of successive wars, remove negative external factors, put aside the divergences that were created among different sectors of the society, and capitalize on factors that contribute to national unity, tolerance and mutual respect.

In resolution 882, the Council strongly urged the parties not to raise any further issues which might jeopardize the Agreement's implementation and called on the Mozambican Government and the Resistencia Nacional Mocambicana (RENAMO) to build on progress achieved and respect fully all provisions of the Agreement, particularly those concerning the cease-fire and movement of troops.

The Secretary-General pointed out that, under the General Peace Agreement signed in Rome on 4 October 1992, both government and Resistencia Nacional Morambicana (RENAMO) forces were to be demobilized and grouped into 49 UN-monitored assembly points.
