Mozambique was long regarded as a successful model of international peace policy. The 1992 General Peace Agreement of Rome secured the peaceful coexistence of the two former civil war enemies for two decades. At the same time, new discoveries of mineral resources always promised a sustainable fight against poverty. But the unexpected wealth aroused desires. In October, the opposition party and former rebel group RENAMO abrogated the peace agreement and returned to their brutal guerrilla tactics.
Carrie Manning is one of the world's leading researchers in the field of democracy and peace in Africa. Her work has been awarded several times. At the GIGA Forum, Prof Manning and GIGA researcher Johannes Plagemann will be discussing the case of Mozambique. They will address the following questions: What are the reasons behind the recent escalation of violence? What consequences do they have for the consolidation of peace and democracy in the country?

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
