In Mozambique, police fired tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters Thursday, killing an estimated five people and injuring 120 others amid ongoing post-election turmoil. The long-ruling Frelimo party declared victory last month, triggering protests and accusations of a rigged election by opposition leader Venâncio Mondlane and his supporters. At least 24 people have been killed in the unrest, according to a local rights group. This is a resident of Maputo.
Sheila Mavale: “I think the situation is terrible. For better or for worse, what is happening is harming the population. We are the ones who are suffering. I think the parties should sit down and talk, for the good of the population, because it is the population that is suffering.”
