In a violent outbreak at a prison in Maputo, Mozambique, over 6,000 inmates escaped, spurred on by protests outside. At least 15 people were injured, and 33 inmates lost their lives during the chaos. The unrest follows the disputed results of the recent elections, where the ruling party, Frelimo, claimed a 70% victory, which opposition groups allege was fraudulent. The confirmation of the election results incited further riots, with significant destruction reported and a worrying increase in violence.
