At least 8 people died on Wednesday in the post-election demonstrations in Mozambique, the day the new Mozambican president, Daniel Chapo, took office, according to a survey carried out by the electoral platform Decide. The police used gunfire and tear gas to disperse a group of protesters who were protesting the inauguration of the President of the Republic, Daniel Chapo, about 300 metres from the inauguration ceremony in the centre of Maputo.
As of the beginning of yesterday, the NGO also counted 619 people injured by gunshots in the post-election demonstrations in Mozambique since October 21 and at least 4,228 people arrested in these protests, called by presidential candidate Venâncio Mondlane, who does not recognize the results of the general elections of October 9.
