Mozambican police fired on supporters of opposition leader Venâncio Mondlane marching in the capital Maputo on Wednesday (March 5), injuring at least 10 people, Mondlane’s team and a human rights researcher said.
A police spokesperson confirmed that law enforcement had dispersed marchers but declined to elaborate. Mondlane’s supporters had gathered hours before President Daniel Chapo signed an agreement with some political parties aimed at ending months of protests over Chapo’s disputed election victory last year.
