Mozambique has experienced several armed conflicts since the 1960s and, after 20 years without armed confrontation, in 2012 political-military tensions escalated to the outbreak of armed conflict again, albeit of less intensity than previous ones. The analysis focuses both on the theoretical discussion around the concept of local ownership in peacebuilding, as well as on the role of local actors in the Mozambican conflict. It is argued that, despite the fact that official discourses silence and make local actors invisible, they have assumed an active role. The article focuses on the role of women in this whole process and the impetus they have given to a gender and peace agenda in recent years. To this end, the article is divided into three parts: first, a brief theoretical discussion around the concept of local ownership in peacebuilding; second, the historical context of the conflict and peace agreements in Mozambique (2012-2019); and third, the silences and invisibilities in the Mozambican conflict and the role of local actors.

Este artículo examina el conflicto y el proceso de paz en Mozambique entre 2012 y 2019, y cuál ha sido la participación de los actores locales en el mismo. Mozambique ha experimentado varios conflictos armados desde la década de 1960 y, tras 20 años sin enfrentamientos armados, en 2012 las tensiones político-militares escalaron hasta estallar nuevamente el conflicto armado, aunque de menor intensidad que los previos. El análisis se enfoca tanto en la discusión teórica en torno al concepto de apropiación local en construcción de paz, como en el papel de los actores locales en el conflicto mozambiqueño. Se argumenta que, a pesar de que los discursos oficiales silencian e invisibilizan a los actores locales, estos han asumido un papel activo. El artículo se centra en el rol de las mujeres en todo este proceso y el impulso que han dado a una agenda de género y paz en los últimos años. Para ello, el artículo se divide en tres partes: primero, una breve discusión teórica en torno al concepto de apropiación local en construcción de paz; segundo, el contexto histórico del conflicto y los acuerdos de paz en Mozambique (2012-2019); y, tercero, los silencios e invisibilidades en el conflicto mozambiqueño y el papel de los actores locales. En conclusión, este artículo destaca la importancia de la apropiación local, y enfatiza la necesidad de apoyar y fortalecer la capacidad de las comunidades locales en la participación de la construcción de la paz duradera y sostenible en Mozambique.
