At least 10 killed in police crackdown in Mozambique after disputed presidential poll
Both Russia and Ukriane deny responsibility for the strike
AT LEAST 10 people were shot dead by police and dozens of others were injured when authorities cracked down on unrest following Mozambique’s presidential election, according to two doctors’ organisations.
More protests are planned after opposition parties condemned the announcement of a victory for Daniel Chapo of the ruling Front for the Liberation of Mozambique in the October 9 election.
The win extends the 49-year rule of the Frelimo party, which has held power since independence from Portugal in 1975.
