In Mozambique, more protests have erupted over allegations of fraud in the October 9 presidential and parliamentary elections. European Union poll observers on Tuesday noted “irregularities during counting and unjustified alteration of election results at polling station and district level” and urged transparency from Mozambique’s election authorities. Protesters took to the streets of the capital Maputo despite a violent crackdown by Mozambique security forces.

José Cuna: “Our rights to protest as Mozambican citizens gave me the will to go to the streets. What is happening in the country are things which I do not understand. There are killings, kidnappings, and we end up not understanding who is behind it, and automatically Mozambique is not safe anymore.”
