Mozambique leader Nyusi sworn in despite opposition boycott via SABCNewsOnline

After a civil war that killed around 1 million people before a 1992 truce, and periodic violence since, Nyusi signed a deal with rebels-turned-opposition party Renamo in August meant to bring definitive peace to a country on the cusp of becoming a global gas exporter.

Instead, October’s election exacerbated decades-old wounds: Nyusi, of the ruling Frelimo party, won with over 70% of votes but his main rival Ossufo Momade said the poll was rigged. Renamo secretary-general Andre Magibire told Reuters the party does not recognise Nyusi as a legitimate leader, but would also not be drawn back into violence.

This low-level fighting threatens to draw resources away from efforts to tackle a festering Islamist insurgency in the north, on the doorstep of blockbuster gas projects led by Exxon and Total.While analysts say the August peace deal is likely to survive, its implementation has stalled amid infighting, with even some in Renamo’s political wing believing the party has backed down too easily.
