It would be the first time \u2013 it is a test \u2013 it would be the first time that it clearly happens that, in a situation in which these two powers confront each other, the judicial power asserts itself with independence, with autonomy,\u201d the renowned author said.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the various disputes surrounding the local elections, Mia Couto views the process positively.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are experiencing here tense moments, very tense moments,&#8230; and we hope for the resolution to be an in-depth resolution. This is not just to resolve these elections only, to clarify the result of these elections, but to ensure that&#8230; people believe that the democratic path is possible, that voting is worth it, that transforming the country through a non-violent path is worth it; because, the path of violence, we have already verified that it leads to nothing else but more violence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mozambique\">Mozambique<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
