Mozambique’s most prominent opposition leader, who’s orchestrated months of demonstrations that have battered the country’s economy, said he agreed with the president to end post-election violence that’s left hundreds of people dead.

Venâncio Mondlane, who officially came second to the ruling party’s Daniel Chapo in October’s presidential election, said the two reached a deal-in-principle at a meeting in Maputo, the capital, on Sunday.
