Welcome to Zitamar’s daily Mozambique briefing for 27 September 2022

Note: We apologise for the late arrival of today’s Daily Briefing, which was hanging on for news of the new Political Commission from Frelimo’s Congress. While some information is coming out — see our Tweet of the Day below — we have yet to confirm all the details.
