Maputo, Mozambique AP —Mozambique’s main opposition leader returned from exile Thursday as security forces fired tear gas at hundreds of his supporters who gathered near the main international airport to welcome him home. Venancio Mondlane was seen walking off a plane at Mavalane International Airport in the capital, Maputo. Supporters of Mozambique's opposition leader Venancio Mondlane gesture near a checkpoint as they try to get closer to the airport in Maputo on January 9, 2025.

The party has often been accused of rigging elections since Mozambique held its first democratic vote in 1994.

A prison riot in Mozambique’s capital Maputo left 33 people dead and 15 injured, the country’s police general commander Bernardino Rafael said on Wednesday, as civil unrest linked to October’s disputed election continues. While Rafael blamed protests outside the prison for encouraging the riot, Justice Minister Helena Kida told local private broadcaster Miramar TV that the unrest was started inside the prison and had nothing to do with protests outside.

Prior to Tuesday, civil society monitoring group Plataforma Decide said at least 130 people have been killed in clashes with police since the unrest started.

☆ Mozambique’s top court confirms ruling party win in disputed election
  + stars: | 2024-12-23 | by ( ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
Reuters —Mozambique’s top court on Monday confirmed the ruling party Frelimo’s victory in an October election, which has sparked massive protests by opposition groups who say the vote was rigged. Western observers said the election was not free and fair, and the post-election period has seen the biggest protests against Frelimo in Mozambique’s history. Outside the conference center in the capital Maputo, where a senior Constitutional Council judge announced that Frelimo’s Daniel Chapo was president-elect and the party had retained its majority in parliament, the streets were deserted amid a heavy police presence. The electoral commission has not commented on allegations of fraud in this election. A representative of opposition leader Venancio Mondlane, who the Constitutional Council said came second in the presidential election with about 24% of the vote, rejected the results announced on Monday.
