The political landscape in Mozambique has been shaken by the recent assassinations of key opposition figures, including a prominent lawyer and two activists, just ahead of anticipated election protests. The killings, believed to be politically motivated, have intensified tensions as the ruling party claims a comfortable lead in the wake of disputed election results. Despite calls for calm from the government, outrage over the violence has led opposition leaders to accuse the authorities of committing election fraud and stifling dissent. As the nation reels from these tragic events, the international community watches closely, urging for a peaceful resolution in a time of escalating unrest.
