Mozambique’s main opposition leader called for another seven days of protests against what he’s called fraudulent elections, a move that threatens to extend weeks of unrest that has left dozens dead.
Fresh demonstrations should start Dec. 4 and run from 8 a.m. local time until 3:30 p.m. each day, when all vehicles should come to a standstill, Venâncio Mondlane said in a live stream Monday. He also proposed halting all flights in the southern African nation.
