MAPUTO (Reuters) - Mozambique President Filipe Nyusi fired Prime Minister Carlos Agostinho do Rosário on Thursday, a presidency statement said, in what appeared to be a major cabinet reshuffle following the sacking of six ministers on Wednesday.

The Portuguese-language statement did not give a reason for the dismissal of the premier, nor announce any new appointments or give indications on when the vacant posts would be filled.
