Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi began his second, and last, term in office on Wednesday; following elections last October as the country awaits him for guidance towards long-lasting peace and recovery of the economy.

Mr Nyusi of the Front for the Liberation of Mozambique (Frelimo) had won against Mr Ossufo Momade of the Mozambican National Resistance (Renamo), but which the latter disputed as a manipulated poll.
