Mozambique’s parliament has unanimously passed a landmark law aimed at restoring peace through national dialogue and constitutional reform. Backed by all political parties, the law stems from a March 5 peace agreement between President Daniel Chapo and opposition leaders. It proposes restructuring the state, decentralizing power, and revising presidential authority to enhance democratic governance. While the ruling Frelimo party called it a historic step, opposition parties like MDM and Renamo expressed mixed reactions. The law follows months of protests over the results of the October 9 general elections, which remain disputed by opposition politician Venâncio Mondlane. However, Chapo and Mondlane held their first meeting on March 23, leading to hope that the political impasse nears an end.
