In Mozambique, for example, political observers fear that protests against the country’s ruling Frelimo party — which was accused of rigging the October presidential election to extend its 49 years in power — will continue into the new year.  Supporters of popular opposition leader Venancio Mondlane filed a complaint with Constitutional Court and called for talks with Frelimo, which has ruled Mozambique since its independence from Portugal in 1975.  “The dialogue, which is supposed to be about fundamental points for a fair electoral system, is not being taken seriously by the government,” said Adriano Nuvunga, director of the Center for Democracy and Human Rights in the Mozambican capital, Maputo.  Democratic resilience: A cause for hope The lack of democratic norms and problems with unclear elections will remain a cause for concern, said Serwah Prempeh, a...
