Mozambique: Previous Peace Agreements Failed Because They Were Overly Politicized – Lourenço Do Rosário

Maputo — Lourenço do Rosário, a prominent Mozambican academic, warned against turning the “inclusive national dialogue” into a politicized process, claiming that previous peace agreements failed because they were overly politicized rather than focusing on fostering trust among Mozambicans.

The dialogue is based on a document signed in March 2025 by President Daniel Chapo and nine political parties, which the country’s parliament, the Assembly of the Republic, then transformed into a law.
