Table 9: Small arms distribution to RENAMO and subsequent collection in Mozambique

Small arms collected: Number of items
Collected by ONUMOZ, 1992–94: 207,026
Collected by Operation Rachel, 1995–2008: 51,875
Collected by TAE, 1995–2003: 7,850
Collected by FOMICRES, 2003–04: 1,164

Total collected: 267,915

Note: This table gives the highest published estimate of the total number of firearms distributed to militias. This may be an overestimate, since the population of Mozambique in 1980 was 12.1 million, and more than half were under 18. The table indicates the upper limit of the range of estimates on this number, and therewith, the worst-case scenario.
