Botswana escorts Dhlakama from bush hideout?

Yesterday, media in the east African country was awash with reports that diplomatic representatives from Botswana, the United States, Portugal and Italy would provide international safety assurances for Dhlakama who has been hiding in the leafy Gorogonsa region since late last year.

Several media houses, including AFP, also quoted Renamo – Dhlakama’s party – as saying the former rebel leader had requested international cover as he emerges from hiding to journey to Maputo.
