Chimoio, Mozambique - Mozambique's president insisted Wednesday that violent clashes with armed rebels did not spell a slide back to brutal civil war, insisting the energy-rich nation remains a safe bet for investors.

"I do not think, and that is a strong 'no'... that we are going back to war," Armando Guebuza told AFP, amid the worst political violence the country has seen since its brutal 16-year civil war ended in 1992.
