Mozambican police fired on opposition supporters in Maputo, injuring one. The protest coincided with President Chapo signing an agreement amid ongoing dissent over his election. Opposition leader Mondlane was not included in the talks, raising concerns about the agreement’s effectiveness in resolving the political crisis.

On Wednesday, Mozambican police opened fire on supporters of opposition leader Venancio Mondlane during a protest in Maputo, resulting in injuries to one member of his entourage. The gathering occurred ahead of President Daniel Chapo’s signing of an agreement with certain political factions intended to address ongoing protests regarding Chapo’s contentious election victory from the previous year.

The violent dispersion of the protest and Mondlane’s exclusion from the negotiation process indicate that the situation in Mozambique remains tense. Analysts believe that the government’s actions could undermine efforts to establish stability in the nation. Mondlane’s commitment to continue protests suggests that discontent among opposition supporters is likely to persist amidst claims of electoral corruption.
