Mozambique warns protesters ahead of election

Units of the Mozambican anti-riot police deploy during a march called by the presidential candidate of the Optimist Party for the Development of Mozambique (PODEMOS) in Maputo, on October 21, 2024. A demonstration was dispersed with tear gas on Monday in the capital of Mozambique, which took on the air of a ghost town after a call for a general strike launched by the opponent Venancio Mondlane to denounce fraud during the presidential election, noted AFP. This demonstration comes two days after the assassination of two of the opponent's close associates, including his lawyer who was preparing an appeal to denounce fraud in the election of October 9, the final results of which have not yet been published.
