21/10/2026 · FRANCE 24 English

Descrição

It's been a day of unrest in Maputo, Mozambique, in the wake of the killing of two members of the political opposition on Saturday. This Monday, police fired tear gas at protesters, who were demonstrating against the killings and what they say is electoral fraud. Meanwhile, it's been six weeks since the Ugandan Olympian Rebecca Cheptegei was killed by her former boyfriend in Kenya. The attack underscores a troubling trend of male violence against female athletes. Finally, it’s been a week without new cases of the Marburg virus in Rwanda, marking a tentative sign of optimism in fighting the Ebola-like disease.

“Thank you, France24,for shedding light on the ongoing situation in our country. It is deeply disheartening to witness the dictatorship that has persisted for over 45 years. The people of Mozambique continue to suffer from the denial of basic human rights, while government officials live comfortably and indulge in luxury. When they need medical care, they travel to South Africa, and their children attend schools abroad—revealing a clear lack of trust in their own institutions. Peaceful demonstrations are a civil right in Mozambique, yet our voices are being stifled.”
