On October 9, 2024, Moyembique held their presidential election. The candidate named Daniel Chapo won over the candidate Ven\u00e2ncia Mondlane. This caused many of mozambique’s people to become frustrated and confused; they feel that the results do not accurately represent the will of the people and therefore they believe this election to have been fraudulant\/rigged. Ten days after the election Mondlane’s lawyer was killed, presumably from assination, so Mondlane fled the country for his own security. He is set to return on Thursday January 9 although many are still concerned for his safety. And with the presidential inaguration coming up on January 15th many are worried that the violence Mozambique is experiencing could break out into a civil war. Over recent years the US, and US companies have invested billions of dollars into South Africa and Moyambique in particular hoping to promote peace in more violent areas. They have stated there lack of support over the elections validity decision on December 23rd and have begun to grow worried of the violence arising in the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US has substantial reason to intervene in the conflict and help Mozambique, they have many many investments in the country. Being the worlds hegemon allows the US to mediate conflicts that no other country could have the power or authority to do. The US has exceeded all other countries both militarily and economically. With that power they also have great influence and sway. Most other countries wouldn’t dare to mess with them. So if the US were to help in Mozambique, they would most likely receive help or at least peace from many other neighboring countries. This is a real possibility too, since this would be in the US’s self interest. They could lose billions from their investments or gain even more money depending on what they choose to do. Along with that, China also has major investments in Mozambique and Russia has ties with them dating back to the Soviet Union. Both countries would be related to see the US leave, which will most likely puch the US to stay and help. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
