World March of Women stands in solidarity with Mozambique at this critical time<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crisis in the world is escalating, from Palestine, to Lebanon, to Sudan; the Democratic republic of Congo\u2026This list is endless. The world March of women would have loved to continue greeting us all with the usual phrase at the beginning of every year, but it is not a happy one as so much war and very little peace is around the world. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mozambique is currently experiencing significant political unrest following disputed presidential elections held on October 9, 2024. The ruling party, Frelimo, declared victory with Daniel Chapo as the president-elect, a result by opposition groups alleging electoral fraud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The post-election period has been marked by widespread   violence, particularly in the capital, Maputo, where demonstrators have clashed with security forces. Reports indicate that several people continue to die in these confrontational protests.  With reports and allegations of excessive force used by police, including live ammunition against protesters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The unrest has also led to economic disruptions. The port of Maputo, a key hub for regional trade, ceased receiving cargo as from November 7, 2024, due to the instability. This has resulted in hundreds of trucks, ferrying goods such as coal and chrome, being stranded, which is expected to have negative economic impacts on both Mozambique and neighboring countries like South Africa that depend on the same. People are starving, as the economy gets worse and the violence continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In light of these developments, the World March of Women is expressing utmost solidarity with Mozambican women and the broader population affected by the crisis. The WMW has a history of supporting women\u2019s struggles in Africa and the World. <\/p>\n\n\n
