More than 1,500 prisoners escaped from a Maputo prison amid violent protests following the ruling Frelimo party’s confirmed victory in the presidential elections. The unrest, which began after disputed election results were announced, has led to clashes between protesters and police, resulting in dozens of casualties. The opposition leader, Venâncio Mondlane, has fled the country amid calls for continued protests against the election outcome, which many believe to be rigged.
