Today, Mozambique is experiencing one of the most tense and brutal periods in its re- cent history. Since October 21, protests have erupted across the country, particularly in Maputo, Nampula, Niassa, and parts of Sofala and Inhambane. These demonstrations, called by Venâncio Mondlane—who claims to have won the general elections—are a response to alleged electoral fraud and a broader decline in social and economic conditions. The majority of the protesters are young people, demanding not only electoral justice but also social justice and the right to a dignified life filled with hope.
