In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Natàlia Bueno, researcher at the Center for Social Studies (Coimbra University), to explore the recent political turmoil in Mozambique. The country has been gripped by violent protests and electoral violence following the contested election results that saw the ruling Frelimo party retain power. Natàlia Bueno provides an in-depth analysis of the disputed election results, highlighting the allegations of vote rigging and the subsequent unrest that has led to widespread violence and instability. We delve into the tragic assassinations of two prominent opposition leaders, Elvino Dias and Paulo Guambe, and discuss the implications of these targeted killings on the political landscape. Furthermore, we examine the reactions from the international community, including calls for intervention and the impact of these events on Mozambique's relations with neighboring countries and global organizations. Natàlia offers her expert insights into the potential long-term consequences of this political upheaval and what it means for the future of democracy in Mozambique.
