Recent post-election protests in Mozambique have resulted in the deaths of more than 100 people, including children, at the hands of security forces. The unrest, which has been ongoing for nearly two months, was sparked by the fatal shooting of two opposition officials in mid-October, further exacerbated by a disputed presidential election on October 9.
The violence has escalated, with thousands of individuals taking to the streets to protest against the ruling Frelimo party, which has held power in Mozambique for almost 50 years. The protests have been met with a heavy-handed response from security forces, leading to a significant loss of life and numerous arrests.
