Rebels have ended two years of armed conflict with the Mozambique's government by signing a ceasefire agreement.

Mozambique's government and the rebel movement Renamo have signed a ceasefire ending two years of armed conflict, Renamo says.

Chief negotiators from the government and Renamo signed the declaration late on Sunday night in the capital Maputo ending a nearly year-long negotiation process.

"A ceasefire has been signed," Renamo's chief negotiator at peace talks with the government, Saimon Macuiane, told AFP.
