Mechanisms of community reception of demobilised soldiers in Mozambique

Description:: The paper addresses the problem of rehabilitation of demobilised soldiers which is a neglected aspect of peace and reconstruction initiatives in societies emerging from conflict. Using the case of Mozambique, it discusses the problem of rehabilitation at the individual and community levels; and argues that successful rehabilitation depends on a deeper knowledge of the customs and traditions of the community; because, as shown by the Mozambican experience, a mechanism of community reception plays a crucial role in ensuring the successful rehabilitation of ex-soldiers.
