Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Mozambique\u2019s government has imposed a ban on demonstrations, after deadly post-election protests broke out in October. It insists the move is needed to restore public order.<\/p>\n

The country\u2019s interior minister has called on residents to cooperate with authorities to halt the protests, which he described as \u2018acts of terrorism\u2019.<\/p>\n

Police have used tear gas and rubber bullets during demonstrations, and last week the military intervened in a protest.<\/p>\n

Authorities have also limited nationwide access to the internet, a move that Human Rights Watch described as a bid to shut down ‘public criticism of the government’<\/p>\n

According to Human Rights watch, more than a dozen people have been killed and scores more injured since the tensions broke out in early October.<\/p>\n

South Africa shut its main border with the country, citing safety concerns.<\/p>\n

The unrest comes after October\u2019s disputed presidential election.<\/p>\n

Frelimo was declared as the winner; the party has governed Mozambique for nearly five decades.<\/p>\n

Opposition groups and observers insist that the election was rigged, an accusation that the government rejects.<\/p>\n
