Maputo - Mozambique President Daniel Chapo met the main opposition figure, Venancio Mondlane, for talks in an effort to ease tension following months of violent clashes between protesters and security forces, on Sunday.

The gas-rich nation has been gripped by political turmoil since October's disputed elections.

The election, which several international observer missions said was tainted by irregularities, was followed by more than two months of demonstrations and blockades, during which more than 360 people died.
