Mozambique Election Unrest Escalates Amid Protests and Border Closures
Mozambique has been experiencing significant unrest following the October 9 elections, with the ruling Frelimo party's victory being contested by opposition leader Venancio Mondlane, who claims the election was rigged. Protests have erupted in the capital, Maputo, with police using tear gas to disperse demonstrators. The unrest has resulted in at least 20 deaths, and the government has restricted internet access to curb protests. The Southern African Development Community is set to discuss the situation in an upcoming summit.
