At least 103 people have been killed while 350 others injured since post-election violence broke out in Mozambique on Oct. 21, following disputed results of the presidential elections, an election monitoring group said Monday.
Wilker Dias, Executive Director of Civil Society Platform for Election Monitoring (DECIDE) told reporters in the capital Maputo that the country has recorded more deaths in major provinces of Gaza, Nampula, and Cabo Delgado.
“In these places, there have been deadly clashes between armed police and protesters who have been at loggerheads. These clashes have resulted in a number of people dying and getting injured. The situation is very saddening and worrisome,” Dias said.
