In a speech opening a new session of Mozambique's parliament, Chissano reaffirmed his terms for opening talks with the right-wing rebels. He said peace "cannot be achieved at any price." He renewed a demand for the Mozambican National Resistance (MNR) rebels to accept a 12-point set of principles first floated by the government in July, which specify an end to all acts of "terrorism and banditry". Mozambican clergymen have met rebel leaders in Nairobi for exploratory talks and Chissano has also asked the presidents of Kenya and Zimbabwe to mediate. But despite statements by both sides that it is time to end the war, there has been no breakthrough. In the past the rebels have rejected Chissano's terms, and the government has rejected the rebel's peace proposals. Chissano told parliament South Africa's new president-elect F.W. de Klerk had promised in July to try to stop supplies reaching the MNR through South African territory. South Africa originally promised to end aid for the rebels in 1984. The Mozambican leader said the world was looking for "irrefutable signs of change" in South Africa. De Klerk promised on Thursday to bring voteless blacks into government as soon as possible. * Origin: UNITEX --> Toward a United Species (1:107/501) --- Patt Haring | United Nations | FAX: 212-787-1726 patth@sci.ccny.cuny.edu | Information | BBS: 201-795-0733 patth@ccnysci.BITNET | Transfer Exchange | (3/12/24/9600 Baud) -=- Every child smiles in the same language. -=-
