National Resistance Front of São Tomé and Príncipe – Renewal

The National Resistance Front of São Tomé and Príncipe-Renewal (FRNSTP-R) was a political movement of São Toméan exiles who opposed the socialist policies of the single party Movement for the Liberation of São Tomé and Príncipe (MLSTP) government, and sought its overthrow. The FRNSTP-R was formed in 1986 by a small faction of National Resistance Front of São Tomé and Príncipe (FRNSTP) members who refused to give up the idea of armed struggle as a means of overthrowing the São Toméan government. The FRNSTP-R was based Kribi, Cameroon under the leadership of Monso dos Santos.

In December 1990, months after a new constitution permitting multiparty politics was approved, former FRNSTP-R members founded the Christian Democratic Front (FDC) party.
