Mozambique Police Kill 5, Wound Scores in Latest Crackdown on Protests over Contested Election

HeadlineNov 08, 2024

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.”
