Violent Protests Erupt in Mozambique Following Election Controversy
At least 21 people have died in anti-government protests in Mozambique over the past 24 hours after the Constitutional Council upheld the victory of the ruling Frelimo party in the October 9 elections. Opposition supporters allege electoral fraud, igniting renewed demonstrations. Authorities have implemented heavy security measures, resulting in 78 arrests, while armed groups attacked police stations and set fire to vehicles. The ongoing unrest has claimed approximately 130 lives in two months, primarily among protesters, according to local NGO Plataforma Decide.
