The Mozambican National Resistance (RENAMO; (ポルトガル語:Resistência Nacional Moçambicana)) is a liberation movement turned political party in Mozambique, led by Afonso Dhlakama. It fought against the FRELIMO in the Mozambican Civil War and against the ZANU movement led by Robert Mugabe from 1975 to 1992. RENAMO was founded in 1975 following Mozambique's independence as an anti-Communist political organisation, sponsored by the Central Intelligence Organisation of Rhodesia. André Matsangaissa, an ex-FRELIMO army commander, was its first leader. The Ian Smith administration in Rhodesia sought to prevent the FRELIMO government from providing a safe haven for Zimbabwe African National Union militants seeking to overthrow the Rhodesian government. Matsangaissa was killed by government soldiers on 17 October 1979 in Sofala Province. Following a violent succession struggle, Afonso Dhlakama became the new RENAMO leader. During the Mozambican Civil War of the 1980s, RENAMO also received support from South Africa.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Binding Memories'': Chronology )〕 In the United States, the CIA and conservatives lobbied for support to RENAMO, which was strongly resisted by the State Department, which would "not recognize or negotiate with RENAMO".〔(''Deciding to Intervene'' ), p. 204.〕〔(''Deciding to Intervene'' ), p. 207.〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Brothers At War'' )〕 The British government under Margaret Thatcher did not view the civil war in Mozambique as a part of the Cold War, and when FRELIMO closed the border to Rhodesia it fitted well with British interests against the rebel colony while the Rhodesian government supported RENAMO. FRELIMO also forced Mugabe to accept the Lancaster House Agreement for the end to the war in Rhodesia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Brothers At War'' )〕 ==Zimbabwe== RENAMO forces attacked an army base in Zimbabwe near Mukosa on 17 June 1987, killing seven soldiers and wounding 19. RENAMO attacked the Katiyo Tea Estate, destroying valuable property, in July and killed three men in Rushinga in August.〔Audrey Kalley, Jacqueline.
