dc.description.abstract26 years have passed since RENAMO and FRELIMO signed a General Peace Agreement putting an end to a bloody civil war that devastated Mozambique, causing enormous suffering to Mozambican people. Mozambique was considered one of the most successful cases of post-conflict transition in the world. However, after more than 20 years of a relative Peace a new conflict emerged in Mozambique in 2013 between the same actors of the past Civil War: FRELIMO and RENAMO. Although the current low-intensity conflict does not have the brutal dimension of the Civil War, this conflict does represent an important threat for Peace, therefore deserving consideration and analysis. Thus, the present dissertation focus on its political context, rooted in the evolution of the three major parties in Mozambique and also in the socioeconomic dimension, with a special attention to the regional asymmetries existing in Mozambique. In coincidence with the resurgence of the conflict, Mozambique became also known all over the world by the boom of the natural resources that were discovered in the northern part of the country. Despite the boom of the natural resources, Mozambique is one of the poorest countries in the world, with 60% of the population living in extremely poverty. Thus, our main purpose it is to identify the causes of the resurgence of this low-intensity conflict and to demonstrate that unless the conflict between FRELIMO and RENAMO is correctly solved on the basis of a truly and genuine reconciliation, the conflict can persist for more years in an even more violent scale.pt_PT
