Filipe Jacinto Nyusi, also spelled Nyussi, is a Mozambican politician serving as the fourth President of Mozambique, in office since 2015. His second term as President of Mozambique which started in 2020 was produced in rigged elections like the previous ones, although in the 2019 general elections the fraud was more obvious to the international community. Nyusi previously served as Minister of Defence from 2008 to 2014. He was the candidate of the ruling party, Frelimo, in the 2014 and 2019 presidential elections. He is serving as the Chairman of Southern African Development Community since August 2020. Nyusi is involved in the illegal debts that sank the economy of Mozambique, although he has not been convicted yet. This is because the judicial system of Mozambique is used as a tool to target political adversaries of Nyusi, while not investigating crimes committed by Nyusi or individuals close to Nyusi. Nyusi was mentioned in the United States District Court of Eastern District Of New York on 20 November 2019 as having received at least 2 million Dollars in bribes in the context of these illegal debts. In a document submitted to The High Court of Justice in London in the context of these illegal debts, Credit Suisse admits adding Filipe Nyusi to the lawsuit as a defendant. His presidency has been marked by extensive abuse of power, assassinations of leaders of oppositions parties, journalists, and academics, and escalation of war in the central and northern regions of the country.
