Mass Prison Breaks Occur in Mozambique Amid Electoral Unrest

In Mozambique, over 1,500 prisoners escaped from a prison in Maputo amid violent protests triggered by the ruling Frelimo party’s confirmation of election results. Clashes with police have resulted in dozens of deaths and injuries, with at least 33 fatalities reported. The unrest follows a constitutional court ruling affirming Daniel Chapo’s victory in the recent presidential elections, a decision contested by opposition leader VenĂ¢ncio Mondlane, who has since fled the country. Looting and vandalism have spread across Mozambique as tensions remain high.
