Mozambique: Religious leaders tackle AIDS

In an unprecedented show of solidarity, 16 faith-based organisations in Mozambique have united to tackle the HIV/AIDS epidemic, coming up with a national action plan. Mohamad Yassine, coordinator of the World Conference of Religion for Peace (WCRP) in Mozambique has said that religious leaders could play a major role in tackling HIV/AIDS, as about 10 million of the country's 18 million people were members of an organised religion - from Christians and Muslims to those of the Bahai faith.
