At least 20 people injured, 2 government buildings damaged by arson in Mozambique during protests over an election result
The opposition presidential candidate, Venancio Mondlane, declared that a new phase of protests would initiate this past Wednesday and continue for a week.
According to Orlando Mudumane, the national police spokesperson, protesters in Maputo utilized burning tires and homemade explosives to block roads and attack government buildings, injuring about 20 people during clashes with police, who used tear gas.
“However, we managed to disperse them before they could attack, vandalize police units, and seize their equipment”
Global Times Nigeria’s investigation found that post-election violence, sparked by Mondlane’s challenge to the ruling party FRELIMO’s victory, has already claimed at least 90 lives and injured 340 since it began.
