Mozambican Police Open Fire on Opposition Supporters in Maputo

today6 March, 2025

Background

Mozambican police fired on supporters of opposition leader Venancio Mondlane during a march in Maputo on Wednesday, leaving at least 10 injured, according to Mondlane’s team and a human rights researcher in a Reuters report. A police spokesperson confirmed dispersing the crowd but provided no further details. The march took place just hours before President Daniel Chapo signed an agreement with some political parties to address ongoing protests over his contested election victory last year.
