Mozambique's ruling Frelimo party will likely remain in power in the upcoming general election and maintain close ties with Rwanda, the European Union and China, as well as ensure broad continuity in the liquified natural gas sector, but the probable electoral manipulation will likely trigger anti-government protests.

On Inauguration Day, new U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order seeking to delay the enforcement of the divest-or-ban law targeting Chinese-owned social media platform TikTok — which took effect on Jan. 19 — for 75 days, The New York Times reported on Jan. 20.

In the weeks leading up to the ceasefire announcement, Trump and his team, in particular, had increasingly urged Qatar to finalize a deal before Trump's Jan. 20 inauguration, with Trump threatening on Dec. 2 that there would be ''hell to pay'' in the Middle East if hostages were not released by the t
