Joaquim Chissano's reflections on peace and diplomacy
Overview
Former Mozambican President Joaquim Chissano has provided retrospective insights into the Rome General Peace Agreement that ended Mozambique’s 16-year conflict. Chissano detailed the secret diplomacy involving Nairobi, Blantyre, and the Community of Sant'Egidio, noting that Rome was selected as a neutral site to foster trust and prevent intimidation during negotiations with RENAMO leader Afonso Dhlakama.
Beyond Mozambique, Chissano has advocated for increased cooperation within the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP). During a visit to Lisbon, he emphasized using the Portuguese language to promote human rights and economic development, while calling for consensus-building to assist Guinea-Bissau’s participation in the organization. He maintains that Mozambique’s continued stability relies on inclusive dialogue and respect for constitutional institutions.
