Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Daniel Chapo of Mozambique’s long-ruling Frelimo party was inaugurated as president at a ceremony in the capital on Wednesday.<\/b><\/p>\n

Chapo succeeds Filipe Nyusi, who served the maximum two terms.<\/p>\n

The inauguration followed an October election decried as rigged by opposition parties and after months of violent protests against the vote results.<\/p>\n

International rights groups believe more than 100 people were killed by security forces, but some local groups put the death toll at more than 200.<\/p>\n

Authorities said the protests were violent and needed to be subdued, but rights groups said security forces fired live bullets at peaceful protesters.<\/p>\n

International observers reported irregularities in the vote and the alteration of some results, but the Constitutional Council upheld Frelimo\u2019s victory last month.<\/p>\n

Frelimo is a leftist party that was once a guerrilla movement that liberated Mozambique from colonialism.<\/p>\n

It has often been accused of rigging elections since the nation’s first democratic vote in 1994.<\/p>\n

That election followed a bloody 15-year civil war Frelimo fought after independence against rebel group Renamo, which is now an opposition party.<\/p>\n

The street protests that rocked several major cities since October were the biggest threat to Frelimo’s rule since the 1977-1992 civil war.<\/p>\n
