Security forces and protesters against the results of the elections held at the beginning of October have clashed in the African country, and there have been deaths and dozens of injuries.

“By recalling the right to freedom of assembly and demonstration, Brazil urges the parties to exercise restraint, in order to ensure the peaceful exercise of citizenship within a democratic framework”, says the Brazilian government.

The National Elections Commission declared Daniel Chapo, from the Mozambique Liberation Front (Frelimo), party of the current president, Filipe Nyusi, the winner.

However, protesters supporting Venâncio Mondlane, from the Povo Optimista pela Desenvolvimento de Moçambique (Podemos) party, contested the result, and the candidate declared himself the winner of the election.

According to the Mozambican Information Agency, the Maputo Central Hospital (HCM), in the country’s capital, recorded three deaths and 66 injuries following last Thursday’s protest.
