Massive Protests in Maputo Against Government Over Allegations of Election Fraud

Police in the Mozambican capital, Maputo, used tear gas to disperse large protests against the government, accused of manipulating the results of last month’s elections.

Thursday’s demonstration marked the largest gathering of opposition against the ruling Frelimo party, which was declared the winner of the October 9 election, extending its 49-year rule.
