Three people were killed and 66 injured in Mozambique’s capital, Maputo, during protests over the disputed election results. The clashes between police and demonstrators resulted in widespread violence, with reports of live ammunition and tear gas being used against protesters. The protests, which drew thousands of people, were sparked by allegations of vote-rigging in the October 9 general elections.

The opposition claims the ruling party, Frelimo, manipulated the results to secure a landslide victory. This has led to widespread outrage and calls for the electoral commission to investigate the allegations. Despite pleas for calm, tensions have continued to escalate, with protesters demanding justice and transparency.

International organizations have condemned the excessive use of force by Mozambican authorities and called for an investigation into the allegations of election irregularities and human rights abuses. Amnesty International’s Deputy Regional Director for East and Southern Africa, Khanyo Farise, stated that “the use of live ammunition against protesters is unacceptable and a clear violation of human rights.”

The Mozambican government has faced criticism for its handling of the protests, with many calling for restraint and dialogue. However, the interior minister has defended the police response, arguing that it was necessary to maintain public order. As tensions continue to simmer, concerns about the country’s democratic future remain.

The international community is urging Mozambican authorities to respect human rights and ensure accountability for any abuses. With Mozambique’s history of human rights violations during disputed elections, the current crisis has raised concerns about the country’s commitment to democratic principles. The situation remains volatile, with protesters vowing to continue their demands for justice and transparency.
