United Africa Royal Assembly has called for unity and immediate action in response to the escalating crisis in Mozambique following its disputed election results.
In a statement released by the president of the assembly and Pan-African Parliament Ambassador for Traditional Affairs and Governance, HIH Prince Estifanos Matewos, the assembly expressed deep concern over the growing divide between the country’s leadership and its citizens.
“The only way forward is through constructive and strategic engagement,” Prince Matewos said. “Dialogue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to peace and stability are essential to de-escalating tensions and restoring order in Mozambique.”
This appeal came as Mozambique grapples with the aftermath of its October 9 general elections, which saw the ruling Frelimo party secure another term in power. Opposition groups have accused the government of electoral fraud, leading to widespread protests and clashes. The unrest has claimed over 250 lives and displaced thousands, with many fleeing to neighboring Malawi for safety.
