Frelimo, the party in power in Mozambique, has reactivated the red wave sweeping the country, this time with a view to victory in the 2024 general elections.

The Frelimo partyon Saturday launched its “Movement to Prepare for a Frelimo Victory in the 2024 Elections” (Movimento de Preparação da Vitória da Frelimo para as Eleições de 2024) in all provinces.

In Macaneta, Maputo province, Frelimo first secretary Avelino Muchine appealed to parents not to let their children join the marches promoted by Renamo in protest against the results of the October 11th local elections, which gave victory to the party in 64 of the country’s 65 municipalities.

“Don’t let yourself be carried away by those who are out there demonstrating every day. We need to reinforce our vigilance; we have to keep our children at home and prevent them from following these movements,” Muchine appealed, quoted by RFI.

These movements, Muchine said, would not produce positive results. “When it threatens lives, when people are threatened, there is a negative result. Therefore, we will not let ourselves be carried away by those results. Let’s talk to our children to prevent them from joining those movements,” he explained.

Muchine denied that the government party was in crisis, as a letter by several Frelimo members has claimed. “It doesn’t seem to me that based on someone’s statement we can conclude that there is a crisis in Frelimo, no, I don’t I think there is a crisis in Frelimo. There are issues to discuss, yes, there are issues to discuss,” he said.

Meanwhile, this Sunday, Renamo called a halt to its protest marches contesting the results of the sixth round of local elections on 11 October.
