Police May have shot dead 50 as Mozambique poll demonstrations continue

Mozambique police have reportedly shot dead seven demonstrators and wounded a dozen others in Namicopo, the most densely populated in Nampula. With these victims, the number killed by police is approaching 50 since the demonstrations began on October 21, 2024.

There seems to be no end in sight for the country's post-election violence as the opposition Podemos party leader, Venancio Mondlane, announced three more days of protests. Mondlane also urged protesters to "invoke the right to self-defense", while the government warned of possible military intervention.
