In 1990, Mozambique adopted a new constitution that marked the end of his 
Marxist-Leninist one-party state and laid the groundwork for a multi-party political system and 
democratic governance. This shift was crucial in the peace negotiations that culminated in the signing of the 
Rome General Peace Accords in 1992, effectively ending the 16-year civil war between the ruling 
FRELIMO party and the 
RENAMO rebels. The first multiparty elections were held in 1994, with FRELIMO's Joaquim Chissano elected as president, marking the beginning of a new democratic era and the transition away from 
communism.
The post-war period saw Mozambique focusing on reconstruction and economic reform. The country implemented structural adjustments and liberalized its economy, moving away from the centrally planned economic model associated with its former Marxist-Leninist ideology. These reforms led to significant growth rates in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Despite this progress, Mozambique continued to face challenges such as poverty, corruption, and periodic natural disasters, including devastating floods in 2000 and 2019. In 2004, Armando Guebuza succeeded Chissano as president, continuing FRELIMO's dominance in national politics. However, tensions with RENAMO persisted, occasionally erupting into violence.
In recent years, Mozambique's discovery of substantial offshore natural gas reserves has positioned the country as a potential key player in the global energy market. These reserves have attracted significant foreign investment, promising economic transformation. However, the nation has also faced severe challenges, including a resurgence of conflict with RENAMO and the rise of violent extremism in the northern province of Cabo Delgado, where an Islamist insurgency has caused significant instability and humanitarian crises.
