Mozambique is grappling with significant poverty, with nearly 75% of its 34 million people surviving on less than 2 euros daily, according to the World Bank. Unemployment and disengagement among youth are concerning, with one in three either not studying or working.

Growing discontent reflects a desire for improved living conditions among the populace.
