No Arrest Order for Mozambican Opposition Leader Mondlane - Court
Supreme Court President Adelino Muchanga has said there is no judicial order to imprison presidential candidate Venancio Mondlane, should he return to Mozambique - and added that there could have been "excesses' by the police during the continuing protests.
Protesters have again taken to the streets in several parts of Mozambique after a renewed call by the runner-up of October's presidential election, Venancio Mondlane, for a shutdown of Maputo and other major cities. Police and opposition supporters have clashed after Interior Minister Pascoal Ronda said there would be "zero tolerance for any illegal demonstrations".
There are reports that dozens more protesters have been killed, raising the death toll of the post-election violence to more than 100 people.
The southern African nation has been contending with protests and violent police actions after the disputed October presidential election.Â

Instead of dying out, as Frelimo hoped, the protests are becoming more pointed. Some in the party which has governed Mozambique since its independence from Portugal in 1975 are now comparing the national protests to the war in Cabo Delgado. Knocking down the statue of Alberto Joaquim Chipande on December 6, 2024, in Pemba and dragging it through the streets was particularly symbolic. Chipande was a long-time leading member of Frelimo, and the first Defense Minister of Mozambique upon independence in 1975, remaining in that post until at least 1986 under President Samora Machel. Chipande was credited with firing the first shots of the war for independence from Portugal in 1964, according to Wikipedia.
