Protesters had caused mayhem at police stations, banks, Frelimo’s offices and factories setting them ablaze. As on Monday, 21 people had been killed as confirmed by the country’s Interior Minister.
Chaos started on Monday when the High Court upheld the election of Daniel Chapo after Venâncio Mondlane challenged the results accusing them of rigging.
Taking on Facebook, Mondlane rejected the results even though he is currently in exile in unknown country. It is still not clear how he will run the office.
“We are with the people. We do not advocate any form of violence,” he said
