Mozambique Protest LIVE: Mozambique Opposition Stages Biggest Protest as Police Crack Down | CNBC TV18
Mozambique might be facing an escalation of the unrest that has rocked the southern African country since the election of new President Daniel Chapo in October.
This Thursday (November 8), demonstrations organized by the opposition in the streets of the capital Maputo are set to culminate in a big rally. Observers fear increasing violence and riots.
Mozambican analyst Fredson Guilengue, who works for the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation in neighboring South Africa, said that due to the repressive nature of the country’s regime for many years, the use of violence seems to have become the only way to effectively engage with those in power.
Guilengue accuses the government of barely engaging with or even acknowledging the protestors, refusing to discuss the kind of change that many Mozambicans want to see. This could be a recipe for disaster since Mozambique is known for its disputed elections.
