Mozambique Changes Official Name from People's Republic Following Civil War Conclusion

The Mozambican Civil War, which lasted for over a decade, officially came to an end in October 1992 with the signing of the Rome General Peace Accords. This significant peace agreement was initially brokered by the Christian Council of Mozambique and later facilitated by the Community of Sant'Egidio. The groundwork for this transformative period was laid by the new constitution enacted in 1990, which established a multi-party political system, a market-based economy, and provisions for free elections. The conclusion of the civil war marked a pivotal moment in Mozambique's history, ushering in an era of peace and reconstruction. The United Nations peacekeeping force played a crucial role in overseeing the transition, ensuring stability and fostering an environment conducive to development. The end of hostilities allowed for the rebuilding of infrastructure, the resettlement of displaced populations, and the initiation of democratic governance, setting the stage for Mozambique's future growth and integration into the global community.
