Mozambique - Oct 24

After the results of the recent election, the leader of the opposition party and former rebel group, RENAMO, has called for the negotiation of a unity government. Afonso Dhaklama, the leader of RENAMO, has made this call after the disputed election victory of FRELIMO, the ruling party since the end of the civil war. Dhaklama has stated that the election results are not valid and other nations with diplomatic relations with Mozambique must not accept them. This election is a test for peace in the country, and if Mozambique can avoid violence through a coalition government, other African states may use coalition governments as a means of preventing violence after disputed elections.
