Mozambique is currently grappling with severe civil unrest following a controversial election ruling by its top court, which upheld the victory of the ruling Frelimo Party. This decision has ignited widespread protests, resulting in at least 21 deaths. The unrest has been exacerbated by a violent prison riot in Maputo, where over 1,500 prisoners escaped, and 33 were confirmed dead. Opposition leader Venâncio Mondlane has vowed to claim the presidency amidst the chaos. The situation remains precarious, with fears that violence could escalate further as the political crisis deepens.
