Reintegration in Mozambique: An unresolved affair

The document examines the ongoing failure to fully reintegrate approximately 100,000 former combatants in Mozambique nearly two decades after the civil war. It notes that a 2009 government programme was insufficient, leading to the design of a new initiative to address 18 specific points of demand from ex-fighters. The analysis is based on interviews with government officials, civil society, and ex-combatant associations, though the process was still formative at the time of writing.

• Mozambique has not yet completed the reintegration of demobilised combatants into society nearly twenty years after the end of its civil war.
• A government programme launched in early 2009 aimed to assist with the reintegration of approximately 100,000 former fighters, but many continue to agitate for compensation.
• The Mozambican government is developing a new programme to address a set of 18 synthesized demands from former fighters.
