Earlier this year, during continuing protests following an election that the opposition says was rigged, a military aircraft struck a woman in Maputo, Mozambique’s money.
A person is hit in the head by an armored vehicle that is seen in online videos of protesters breaking through a wooden wall. The Guardian quoted the crisis office chairman at Maputo Central Hospital as saying that she suffered head injuries but is not in critical condition.
Mozambique’s military forces said they “accidentally ran over a member” and will support her health expenses. The declaration expressed dread and said the incident would be thoroughly investigated to prevent another incident of this nature.
In a separate incident, officers shot and killed two demonstrators in Nampula, a northern town. According to an advocate, a group confronted police after they had slowed down the roads and burned tires.
Since the election on October 9 when Daniel Chapo of the Frelimo party, who has been in power since 1975, publicly received 70.7 % of the vote, protests have been continued. Venancio Mondlane, the head of the antagonism, has protested and rejected the benefits.
Rights organizations report that police have suppressed the protests, resulting in dozens of deaths, including kids.
At least 67 people were killed in the turmoil between mid-October and mid-November, according to the local monitoring team Plataforma Decide.
