Mozambique: SADC Refused to Back Frelimo

SADC refused to back Frelimo

Despite a statement by President Filipe Nyusi, SADC yesterday refused to back Frelimo and Daniel Chapo. This was obvious when the communiqué said: “The Summit commended the Republics of Mozambique, Botswana and Mauritius for successfully holding peaceful elections and congratulated the newly elected leaders, namely President Duma Gideon Boko, of the Republic of Botswana, and Honourable Dr. Navin Ramgoolam, the Prime Minister of Mauritius.” No mention of Chapo.
