SaltWire's Atlantic regional weather forecast for October 27, 2023 | SaltWireMAPUTO - Police suppressed violent protests in Mozambique on Friday as opposition supporters took to the streets to decry the results of local elections earlier this month which they say were rigged.

Mozambique's Public Integrity Center, an independent non-profit entity, said one young man was confirmed dead in Nacala and two people were shot by police in Nampula. One police officer was also killed by mobs in Nampula, it said. "The police, under the law, will use all available and proportionate means to suppress violence," he said. He did not take questions or mention any deaths.

The main opposition party, RENAMO, said it would go to the Constitutional Court to challenge the results.
