"Violentos enfrentamientos en Mozambique dejan decenas de muertos tras fallo electoral polémico" - The New York Times

Cientos de edificaciones sufrieron daños o fueron saqueadas, incluyendo colegios y hospitales, en una ola de disturbios tras la confirmación de Daniel Chapo como ganador de las elecciones presidenciales.

At least 56 people have been killed in Mozambique since Monday, a nongovernmental organization said on Wednesday, as police officers and protesters clashed in the latest wave of unrest over a presidential election that demonstrators claim was rigged by the governing party.

At Maputo Central Prison, which housed 2,500 inmates, more than 1,530 prisoners escaped, a police commander, Bernardino Rafael, said at news conference on Wednesday. Thirty-three prisoners were killed and 15 others wounded in a confrontation with guards trying to prevent detainees from fleeing, he said.
