Daniel Chapo Sworn in as Mozambique President

Daniel Chapo was sworn in as the fifth President of Mozambique amid ongoing unrest and allegations of electoral fraud following the controversial October 9 elections. Opposition leader Venancio Mondlane, who claims the elections were rigged, has vowed to 'paralyze' the country with daily protests and has called for a national strike. International observers reported significant irregularities during the election process, with over 300 deaths linked to the unrest that followed. Despite calls for protests, some regional leaders attended Chapo's inauguration, though notable absences indicated hesitancy to recognize his presidency. Chapo has called for national unity and stability, hoping to quell the tensions while facing a divided political landscape. The situation remains precarious as the opposition's response may influence Chapo's presidency and Mozambique's future.
