Venâncio Mondlane, the fiery opposition presidential candidate who was declared the runner-up in Mozambique’s Oct. 9 elections, warned of further protests against what he’s described as a fraudulent outcome.
The former lawmaker called for three days of demonstrations last week that led to violent clashes with police and brought business to a halt across much of Maputo, the capital. The first two phases of a four-part plan to ensure voters’ will was respected are complete, and details of the next phase will be announced later on Monday, Mondlane said.
