Protests erupted in Maputo, Mozambique, where police used live ammunition against demonstrators backing opposition leader Venancio Mondlane, injuring at least 16 individuals. This clash occurred just before President Daniel Chapo’s anticipated signing of a political agreement aimed at halting violence. Mondlane, who was second in the controversial October 9 elections, has been notably excluded from the peace negotiations that followed widespread accusations of electoral fraud against Chapo's ruling Frelimo party. International observers have criticized the electoral integrity, with reports of significant violence against citizens by security forces since the protests began.
Mozambican police resorted to live rounds to disperse protestors supporting opposition leader Venancio Mondlane in Maputo, resulting in at least 16 injuries from the confrontation.
