[Mozambique] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Former Renamo guerrilla fighters staged a protest in Massinga, Inhambane province, demanding the resignation of party leader Ossufo Momade on April 2, 2025. The protesters burned party materials and forced the closure of local Renamo offices, citing alleged party mismanagement.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. Given the localized nature and low severity of this internal party dispute in Inhambane province, immediate supply chain disruptions appear unlikely unless protests spread to major economic centers or transport corridors.

Watch points

• Monitor for expansion of anti-Momade protests to other provinces or major cities like Maputo or Beira
• Track whether the internal Renamo dispute escalates into broader political instability that could affect Mozambique's key economic sectors
