The demonstrations were reportedly called by Venancio Mondlane, a defeated presidential candidate, who accused the October 9 election results of being fraudulent and declared himself the winner.<\/p>\n

From South Africa, where he sought refuge, Mondlane urged a week-long nationwide protest from December 4 to 11, aiming to block roads, railways, ports, and airports to “restore the truth about the elections.”<\/p>\n

Outgoing President Filipe Nyusi warned that the unrest could disrupt public sector salary payments, particularly for teachers and nurses, due to Mozambique’s lack of external financial support.<\/p>\n

In Matola, protests intensified after a 13-year-old boy was fatally shot by a plainclothes police officer. Residents blocked access to the Beleluane Industrial Park, home to Mozal, a major aluminum exporter, forcing the company to halt truck operations temporarily.<\/p>\n
